Sex feels different when you never masturbate.
Getting drunk feels different when you have reasons to celebrate.
Spending money feels different when you're rewarding yourself.
Cheat meal feels different when you keep a strict diet.
Dear son,
You gotta EARN YOUR FUN
A woman’s worst nightmare is watching the man she left level up, get stronger, richer, sharper and end up with a better woman than her. Make that nightmare real.
I have seen some people chide this man. Say what you want but...
This man woke up, counted his fare, boarded a matatu with a paper bag of chips, chapo and avocado, and still showed up. Millions of fathers cannot even name the school. Some cannot even name their own child. This one knew the visiting day date, packed what he could afford, and made the journey. The food was not fancy. The effort was everything.
HE SHOWED UP!!
If you are an observant person,
A man who is keen, and concerned about his consciousness,
You will realise something unusual is happening,
There is a silent shift going on,
We are moving from an OWNERSHIP ECONOMY to a SUBSCRIPTION ECONOMY.
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for goods and services which you consume,
For example,
Back in the 90s,
We bought and owned music hardware like cassettes and discs,
This ensured that the music hardware was yours and nobody would charge you a recurring monthly fee to play music,
We owned newspapers and kept them,
We bought and owned books,
We owned letters written to us,
We bought, and claimed ownership,
But this is changing, and it is concerning,
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for it.
MKOPA phones and Electric bikes are examples of how we have lost ownership of what we have bought.
It will reach a time where,
• You won't make a call, unless you subscribe to a calling service, on top of buying airtime,
• You won't send an email unless you subscribe, or you will lose all your emails,
• You won't listen to music unless you pay a monthly subscription fee for streaming,
• You won't send a text or a WhatsApp message unless you subscribe to a monthly plan, or get used to annoying advertisements,
• You won't cook food unless you pay for a monthly gas subscription plan or pay double for electricity,
• You won't drink clean water unless you subscribe to a monthly water delivery plan.
Ultimately, you won't own land or a house or a cow,
You will own nothing, and you will never be happy.
You will become a slave of the subscription economy.
That day is coming.
If you are wise,
• Go to a rural area,
• Own land,
• Get solar,
• Sink a borehole,
• Keep poultry, cows, goats and sheep,
• Grow your food.
Don't sit in the city like sheep.
Freedom will be given to those who will defeat the subscription economy.
WAKE UP!

Your problem is not a lack of money
Your problem is a lack of self-discipline.
If you can't be disciplined with 1000, you won't have discipline even if given 1 million.
Money and indiscipline are mutually exclusive.
Everyone is waiting for your downfall.
Everyone is waiting for the right condition to insult you.
Don't give them the opportunity.
Tighten your boundaries and close the doors.
Bob Marley once said:
"You may not be her first,
her last, or her only.
She loved before
she may love again.
But if she loves you now,
what else matters?
She's not perfect—you aren't either,
and the two of you may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh,
cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human and making mistakes,
hold onto her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,
but she will give you a part of her
that she knows you can break—her heart.
So don't hurt her,
don't change her,
don't analyze and
don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she's not there.
Love with your whole being when you receive love.
Because there are no perfect girls, but there will always be a girl who is perfect for you.."
