@ebedeegram Being a nice person does not equal receiving thesame treatment from people. A nice person is like a bleeding animal to wolves. They take and take from you untill they r either satisfied or u run out of energy.

I never even bring out Balde from cooler.
My striker sef dey prison...
I'm not joking when I say the bar for gaining access to my life is so high that even those who already have access still need to keep verifying their access.
I am NOT opening the door to a stranger until it is abundantly clear to me that you don't come with complications.
The word βfriendβ means so much to me, the same way a βlife partnerβ means much.
I met you on social media, at work, and in church; that doesn't automatically mean you are a friend.
You are FAR from being an acquaintance.
I did a HARD job arranging every piece of my life to make it manageable in this tricky world.
Opening it up to wolves is the last thing Iβd like to play with.
People complicate great things.
Be careful.
Hold up your wall like that of Jericho.
We have been taught to fear the wrong thing.
We fear failure, when failure is information wearing a frightening mask. It tells you what did not work, which is the only way anyone ever finds what does.
The real thing to fear is regret.
Failure says you tried and learned. Regret says you never tried at all, and now you will never know.
One stings for a season. The other aches for a lifetime.
Every person I admire carries a long history of public failures they now tell as stories. What they do not carry is a list of dreams they were too afraid to attempt.
Stop protecting yourself from failure.
Start protecting yourself from the far heavier weight of never having tried.
A life of brave failures beats a life of safe regrets, every single time.
A mistake that stole my peace for years. Comparing my chapter to other people's.
I measured my progress against people who started earlier, had different resources, and were running a different race.
Every time I looked sideways, I felt behind. Every time I felt behind, I made rushed, fearful decisions.
The mistake was forgetting that you cannot see someone's full story from the outside. You see their highlight reel and compare it to your own behind-the-scenes.
What changed things was choosing one honest comparison. The person I was last year.
Am I wiser, healthier, a little further along than that person? Then I am winning, no matter anyone else's timeline.
Run your own race.
The only person you are competing with is who you were yesterday.
Accidents, failures, crises, sickness, deaths among others indicate man is not perfect. Man's wisdom and principles can fail. 'Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge...' Psalms 62:8 The greatest defence is God.
Grateful Heart.
Underpromise in public. Overdeliver in private.
Most people do the exact opposite, and it is how reputations quietly die.
Let your results introduce you before your mouth does.
