Major cheat code for life: realizing you can be proud of your progress without being satisfied with your position. You can appreciate how far you've come and still want more. Gratitude and ambition are not enemies. "I'm grateful for this, and I'm not done yet" works quite well.

One thing I’m taking seriously these days is building a life that can survive change. Jobs end. People leave. Economies shift. Plans fail. I don’t want one unexpected event to have the power to completely dismantle me.

She said she’d spent months accusing me of being “secretive” because I wouldn’t let her touch my laptop.

She thought I was hiding another woman.

She admitted she’d even gone through my phone while I was asleep because she was convinced something was wrong.

“I realized the problem wasn’t you,” she said. “It was that I stopped trusting you a long time ago.”

We never got engaged.

Not because I stopped loving her.

But because we both realized that love can survive a lot of things…

Trust isn’t always one of them.

Do you think a relationship can recover once trust is gone, or is that usually the beginning of the end?

@ChuksAmahia @James333555 I totally forgot this place existed. Good old memories.

These “bandits” are not that sophisticated. If the Nigerian government actually wanted to find them, they would find them in a few hours. The government is complicit in this. it’s not rocket science.

“Habits are first like cobwebs.
But in the end, they are like iron chains”
-J C Ryle.

As you wake up today,
Before you step out of bed,
Before you start checking posts,
Before you start replying messages,
Before you spend hours on social media,

Say a word of prayer:
For yourself, for your life, for your day;
Pray that God will go ahead of you and make your life a blessing to others. Pray for others who are in a difficult situation at this time and pray that God will comfort them.

Spend 10-15minutes on meditation.
No words. No phone. No sound. If possible, no lights. Just lay there- you and your mind. Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, excellent or praiseworthy—think on such things. Take a full deep breath in and out and repeat this cycle for the whole 10mins.

You will find out that your day is 100% better doing this than just waking up, grabbing phone, replying messages, and rushing out. Make this a daily habit and see how life is incredibly more peaceful, more purposeful and more positive for you.

Remember: Habits are first like cobwebs.
But in the end, they are like iron chains.

Good morning. And have a nice day ahead.

People go to the gym with diff goals.

Not all of us want to be jacked to the toenails with tiny obliques.

Some of us just want to walk without panting, fold our girls better into pretzels & look good in shirts.

So when you see people post their gym progress, do well to SYBAU.

Curtains have finally been drawn on the 2024 Olympics on the day that coincides with my first week living in the city, officially.

While I find myself routinely perspirating on the wants I need - I am reminded again of what I have.

10 years ago, all I was - was a consistently frustrated chap who was plunged from childhood into responsibility, couldn't boast of the next meal, commercially motorcycled to patch funds to sort the next tuition and find remnants enough to send home.

All I had was the soundness of mind, the wielding sword of academincs, stonecold grit, unwavering resolve to prove everyone wrong.

"You'll never make it with a diploma" - I have both OND and HND.

"You'll never breakout without family support" - the last free money/stipend I received was when I was 14.

"You'll not land a Ph.D position in the cancer biology in the same year you concluded your program" - I earned and started two offers.

To finally be able to live in cities I only saw in fantasy books, visit places I only read about, sit in rooms with people I used to read from, live a life I pictured - is a privilege that's been earned with academics.

I may not have participated in the Olympics but I woke up today feeling like an Olympian.

I probably do not say this as often as I should, or with enough intimidating sazon BUT

There's NOTHING you aspire to, that is beyond your reach. It only depends on how badly you want it and the sacrifices you're willing to make for it.

@Ewetoladara Yeah I checked reviews and saw they are arguably on the best HMOs around but this my first experience with them wasn’t it atall. I have resorted to visiting a hospital first thing this morning.

But to increase an annual subscription by 75%? That’s outrageous!

[Max Mac @MacPelz]

My firsthand experience with medication delivery is ZERO!!!
If there is anything like ultimate ZERO, that is it!

[Max Mac @MacPelz]

@DavidHundeyin @FOBroadband @FiberOne_help The agent through which we paid for subscription ignores all my calls. They keep lying that they will come and never show up. More than 25 working days and nothing.

What kind of company does that??

[Max Mac @MacPelz]

@DavidHundeyin @FOBroadband @FiberOne_help Please I need anyone to air their issues with Fibre One ISP. Payment has been made for over a month now for installation and subscription and nothing as been done apart from cabling which happened just a few days back. Their customer service is Zero!!

If you don't read anything as a young person, please read 50 Cent's chapter on fearlessness in his book "Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter".

Fear can ruin your life. In a continent where opportunities are scarce, fear drastically reduces your chances even more. If you don't put yourself out there, no matter how good you are, you won't get what you deserve.

A lot of us are scared to fail so after a few attempts, we don't try again. Steve Jobs said if you are scared to fail, you won't go far. That is so true.

Behind your fear is freedom. That beautiful and fit partner, that lovely job, and start up opportunity. It is yours, but you are scared to ask.

The first time I went to the US Embassy, my legs were shaking. Even though I had fully funded scholarship, the way I talked, I bet the guy thought my letters were fake.

The first day I came out to speak publicly I forgot my lines. Even though I had the best practice. But in all failures, I kept trying.

My student visas were denied 7 times, today I move like a bird.

I dropped out of school 3 times, but I went back again at age 30.

Today I am getting speaking engagements regularly.

Being poor and scared is a very terrible combination. Please don't let fear ruin your life. Try again. It won't kill you, it will make you stronger.

May God bless you. I am rooting for you.

I am always sharing everything I learn along the way. Hit the follow button. Let's grow together. ❤️🙏

@FiberOne_help @FOBroadband 24hrs later and the 12th working day; yet to get a positive feedback from you guys.

Please how long do I have to be patient for????

[Max Mac @MacPelz]

@FOBroadband @FiberOne_help

How does someone pay over 100k for internet subscription and installation and 11 working days after, no response, no installation!

I was told company policy says 10 working days, yet you can’t even keep to your own policy!

Please do the needful!!

Being committed to one person is a beautiful thing. Don't let damaged people lie to you, there's nothing better than having a best friend and lover in one person.
