My mom is a licensed relationship therapist. She told me that when you want to know if someone is a strong long-term partner, don’t focus only on his personality. Watch his patterns.
One good date can tell you very little. Repeated behavior tells you much more. 1/3
A rich man taught me this a few years ago, and it changed how I handle money.
He said, “When you start making good money, don’t rush to buy everything you’ve always wanted. Live below your means and spend less than you earn.
If that income remains consistent, upgrade your life gradually. Start with things that make your work easier, then move on to your wardrobe, gadgets and other luxuries.”
Your desire to enjoy life must be deliberately delayed.
Your work first. Your lifestyle next. Stability before comfort. Wealth before luxury.
Before you rent that house, knock on a neighbour’s door and ask them what they hate most about living there. Don’t ask the agent, don’t ask the landlord. Ask the people already paying rent. They’ll tell you things nobody will mention.
Visit the house after 8pm. That’s when you know whether the neighbours are noisy, the street is safe or if the generator noise is unbearable.
Daytime inspections can be very misleading.
There is a version of poverty most people never talk about.Full grown adults who never learned to swim, cycle, skate, or play an instrument. People who never took a gap year, never traveled, never spoke a second language. It is not a lack of interest. It is a lifetime of hustling
Here’s 10.

True story;
I went somewhere with my grandmother & parked the car near a graveyard, when she came out of the car she faced the graveyard & said “I greet you all, I am leaving the car here, we shall be back soon, let it be safe”
I asked her why she did that she said, respect.

Long ago men thought just because you are married you always have to go to his family but now people are even opting to not go to anyside and just be at your house with your family.
So when my mom had my brother, 3 hrs later she died. It was at the time people were giving birth at home and my mom just stopped reacting as a living person. My grandmother prepared sand for her, this was the time where people were still being buried in cows skin and were placed on wet river sand to keep fresh. So my mom said she started a journey where it was a very narrow foot path, flawed and was slippery on the side because it was green:slimy grass on both side
S. She said she walked for what seemed like a day long walk and eventually she got so some long gold gates. There was an old woman and man on both end. The woman was fighting for her to get to be other side but the man kept fighting her off because she had to go back home to feed my brother. The fight went on for what seemed like 8hrs. She would climb the gate and just when she had to go over, the man would be there to push he back down. effectually the man and woman agree that she had to go back and when she also told them she was tired and wanted to go back, she saw herself walking to her moms place, where my brother was. She started sneezing and when she came to, my brother was crying and she wanted to do was breastfeed him. People were already gathered at my grand mother’s house but they were all wondering why the soles of her feet were still hot and pink. That how my mother came back from the dead and still went into have us. She has since been a Christian and nothing will ever change her mind
Why are you guys upset at her?
She's saying that if she, as someone who's job is to save lives can answer calls/return texts them YOU as someone who only saves PowerPoints to PDFs can do the same.
She's right!
when you get to 35 and you're single with no kids, you're going to regret it cos you should've already started a family by now. if you get to 35 yo and you've been married for 10 yrs with 3 or 4 kids, you're going to regret that cos you never got the chance to really live out your 20s. so if you marry, you will regret it. if you don't marry, you will also regret it. if you have kids, you will regret it. if you don't have kids, you will regret it. the big problem here is that choosing one life leaves another one unlived and where the regret festers is in our minds, when we romanticize the unknown of the path we didn't choose. we keep hunting for a choice that lets us keep every upside and pay no price but newsflash: it doesn't exist. so ask yourself, do i want this life badly enough to carry its cost? or did i only love it while it cost me nothing? think about that.
