“No matter how much you change & no matter how much you improve, it’s not permanent.” David Goggins [on why humans must have every day “I don’t want to, but I will anyway” practices to reify their growth.]

Life is simple.
Love comes from long-term relationships.
Health comes from long-term good habits.
Wealth comes from long-term investment.
Peace comes from long-term self-reflection.
Talent comes from long-term focused efforts.
You want value, think and act long-term.
Order an chaos are the Yang and Yin of the famous Taoist symbol:Two Serpents, head to tail. Order is the white, masculine serpent; Chaos, it’s black, feminine counterpart. The black and white dots indicate the possibility of transformation.……Jordan B. Peterson.
Our forefathers lived for 100+ years.
But when you read through European books or Google, they will tell you that Afrika's life expectancy was 30 - 40 years.
- and there are Afrikans who believe this delusion, simply because they are indoctrinated graduates of Ivy League scholarships.
Our heritage, our history, our literature, our philosophy were all whitewashed,
Our artefacts, libraries, archives and museums were all vandalized and looted to disconnect us from our history.
- now we believe what is only fed to us by non-Afrikans and Ivy-league educated ignorant Afrikans.
Embrace your Afrikan roots. We are superior in:
• Anatomy
• Physiology
• Ideology
• Thoughts

In all Triumph stories, the hero has to go into unknown, into an unexplored territory, and deal with a new great challenge and take great risks. In the process, something of himself has to die, or be given up, so he can be reborn and meet the challenge. This requires COURAGE.
When everyone leaves a party just as you get there, then you realize it’s your house and you need to clean it all by morning because important people are coming by tomorrow.
It’s 10 people’s worth of work.
But it’s too late to call anyone and it has to get done tonight.
And it’s just you.
You stay up all night cleaning the house on your own from a mess you didn’t make.
Mop. Dishes. Trash. So much trash. Bottles. Empties. Spills. Reorganize…
…It’s dawn and the house is starting to look presentable.
Just as the important people are supposed to show up, you get a text: “sorry can’t make it. We’ll have to reschedule.”
And there you are, alone, after spending all night cleaning up a mess you didn’t make for people who ended up not showing up.
And as much as you’d like to sulk, or be tired, you’ve got too much other stuff you have to do.
You’re two years in. It feels like there’s no end in sight and you’re not sure when it will get better.

And rather than the social media glorification, that’s what entrepreneurship feels like 99% of the time.
A test of will, not intellect.
