Facts.
Particularly when it comes to career.
Don’t give up.
More importantly don’t stay still, all you’re doing is getting more experience in a field you don’t care about.
If you’re actually stuck, in a dead end job.
Do this today:
I'll never forget getting fired from my corporate job 7 years ago.
I moped home.
-Ashamed.
-Disgraced.
-Feeling so low.
-It was 100% my fault.
My wife meant me outside our front door.
A giant hug.
-We will build back together.
-God created you for more Tyler.
-I'm proud of you & always with you.
The next 6.5 years we did just that.
•Cancelled TV, side hustled like crazy, & lowered our cost of living.
•I watched my wife wake at 430am teaching English to Chinese kids.
•She helped me build my business & supported me every step of the way.
It's why I laugh at guys that talk crap on marriage.
Just ensure you have a TEAMMATE & a RIDE OR DIE.
My wife believed in me even when I didn't believe in me.
It paid off for both of us.
At 41 we are now financially free & living life on our terms.
Gia is spot on.
Guys should all ask this question before committing.
@Kaffy70333934 Went to the Benin secretariat building and walked to the accounts/payroll office to speak to anyone that would hire me, waited hours before I could get anyone to speak with me and was referred to a new project might be hiring, sold my skills to the project team and was hired.
I will keep preaching that this is a self-limiting mindset.
It is unfair to you.
It is unfair to the privileges you have - the privileges you don't acknowledge, one of them being good health.
Regardless of how accomplished anyone is, there are people (same age as them or younger) that have accomplished 3ce as more.
Regardless of how unfortunate anyone thinks they are, there are people (same age as them or older) that have it worse off.
💡Colonel Sanders started KFC at 65.
💡Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until 40.
💡Samuel L. Jackson got his big break at 43.
💡Toni Morrison published her first novel at 39.
You're not behind - you’re just at your own phase, exactly where you need to be.
If you need that to change, you have to stand the fuck up, loathe handouts AND do something about it.
Your tears are useless if they don't motivate you to try harder - and you can't do that focusing on the race paths of others.
Perspective is everything and that, my friend, is what you lack. I do not say this kindly.
You think your cup is halfempty because you're 40.
All of the people above that I quoted, thought their cups were half-filled because they were 40.
Perspective is everything.
Have you watched competitive cyclists cycle?
They are more focused on their own race, than the positioning of others.
I also want to assume that you know how to drive - can you imagine what happens if you focus more on the rear view than what's in front of you?
Everyone’s timeline is different, and yours still has plenty of room for greatness.
You’ve got more in you than you think - that's just me hoping.
Importantly,
* If you think your life is over because you're 40, you're right.
* If you think your life is just starting because you're 40, you're also right.
Furthermore,
* if you think you can, you're right.
* if you think you can't, you're also right.
Happy whining, Chief. 🙏
marry a man who's a provider. that doesn't necessarily mean that he has alot of money. It means he knows his responsibilities. he'll make mountains move just so your needs are met. a responsible man is better than a rich man who doesn't value you.
"If you have food in this season, give thanks. Things are hard" - Gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey says after catching a well-dressed man ransacking his dustbin for food.
Rich or not rich. I swear, if you find yourself with someone who understands reciprocity. They will move the mountain just as you would for them. That money on it is icing
