So true !
But the positive side is good hearted people are protected spiritually and with time they learn that they are in control of their emotions and how they treat others.
Itβs all about experiences which make them stronger.
π§Ώβ¨
The problem with having a good heart is people think youβre stupid.
They may think they played you.
The whole time they played themselves out of a good person.
Be a man your father would respect.
Be a man your mother would brag about.
Be a man your wife would depend upon.
Be a man your friends would die for.
Be a man your siblings would love to become.
And ABOVE all...
Be a man that GOD built you to BECOME.
What matters is how you can get your hands on Sh 5M. Inheritance? Land sale? Insurance payout? Compensation? Contract earnings?
There's something out there for everyone.
Financial freedom is when your assets pay the bills instead of your labour.
How quickly you reach this point depends on your investment rate and how much cash flow you need.
An investment of Sh 5M in a fixed income fund earning 12% p.a will cover monthly bills of Sh 50K.
The most difficult task in the morning is waking up.
The next difficult task is making your bed.
Once you overcome these tasks in the morning, every battle gets easier during the day.

There is a difference between saving and investing.
Consider this...
You want to raise Ksh 500,000 to start a business in 5 years.
If you only save youll need to set aside Ksh 8,333 every month for 5 years (Ksh 500,000 Γ· 60 months = Ksh 8,333 p/m)
But if you invest your monthly contribution and earn 10% p.a., you only need about Ksh 6,500 per month because your money is working for you.
Saving money builds discipline.
Investing money helps your money grow and gets you closer to your financial goals faster.
The bed might be warm,
The sleep might be sweet,
The dream might have been entertaining,
But your higher purpose is calling.
Get up,
Get out,
Go pursue your purpose.
None will do it for you.
It is you vs yourself.

speak your mind, pursue your convictions, and live according to your values without fear of losing a paycheck or a handout.
Build wealth, not just for comfort, but for the independence that allows you to be unapologetically yourself.
Poverty cannot allow one to think independently.
A poor man will suppress his thoughts in support to a rich man's thoughts to get handouts from hih
That is why financial independence is about more than money,it is about freedom. The freedom to make your own decisions,
Learn to make money. Learn to keep money. Learn to grow money. Most people stop at making money. The real game starts when you learn how to keep and multiply it.
Action is the bridge between knowledge and outcomes. Until money decisions leave your head and enter your habits, nothing changes. Taking action is uncomfortable precisely because it makes things real. But nothing improves until it does.
When you prolong the time between knowing and acting, you punish yourself by struggling with money. You can know how saving works, how investing compounds, and how debt should be managed, yet remain stuck in the same place for years.
lifestlye choices, most are from inflation.
Sometimes you are not broke because you donβt earn enough.
You are broke because life quietly got more expensive.
A good salary doesnβt always feel like a good salary anymore.
People earning > Sh 100K now share similar struggles with those earning < Sh 50K.
Rent, loans, transport, shopping, groceries, school fees, etc. all add up fast.
While some struggles are self-implied, eg.
Men,
Lastly,
Most men spend their lives fighting enemies outside.
But, wise men first conquer the enemy within

Master your mind before you master the world.
The first war to win is The War Within.
