If you somehow find yourself with ₦20M, ₦100M, ₦1.4B or any amount of money you've never received as a lump sum before, your job is simple:
Make sure no one in your bloodline ever has to ask this question again.
Do not just spend it. Convert it into a system.
Here's how to think about it🧵

10 spiritual money rules everyone MUST know before 30
1. sex with the wrong person will drain your money energy but intimacy with the right person, makes your bag goes up.
2. money is a tool and a seed that is meant to be planted early; sow into the right soil, then it’s going to bear fruits tomorrow but sow into the wrong soil or you eat the seed (money) today then there’s no fruit for you tomorrow.
3. if you think lack, you will block your money flow. when you think of money from a perspective of lack, energetically you are going to get boicked from the flow.
4. money is energy and it have it you must let it flow, when you make money you are meant to spend it properly but if you hoard it , your not going to flow. when it flows it, it comes more. a pool that doesn't flow turns into a swamp. think about that.
5. never chase money, attract it. pay attention; if you spend your time chasing butterflies, they’ll fly away but if you spend your time building a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. think of money like a butterfly.
6. keep your mouth shut when you make money. learn that; the more money you make, the more you learn to shut up.
7. you don’t have a money problem, you have an energy problem; if you have money issues, you either have a low energy or you’re blocked somewhere. meaning, you won’t make a lot of it, your growth will be static.
8. your family and friends holds you back most of the time financially. think about from a deeper context.
9. if you like noise, money won’t stay long with you. chaos repels money while quietness attracts & makes money stable.
10. spend money on yourself, most times feed the body that works the money. it doesn’t matter how little, a fragrance, a pair of shoes, a new pant, a nice experience.. look, when you spend money on yourself, you energetically start to flow in a more powerful frequency and those trajectories will make you love yourself more to make more.

May Allah accept our عبادات, sacrifices, and duʿās, forgive our shortcomings, and bless us with peace, barakah, sound health, and steadfastness in faith. May He grant us the opportunity to witness many more Eids in righteousness and goodness. Āmīn 🤲

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
I stopped talking to my girlfriend for 2 weeks because I was busy studying Elon Musk.
I was shocked when I found this.
Elon Musk was turned away from a job at Netscape in 1995.
He drove to their office. Walked into the lobby. Stood there waiting to talk to anyone who would hire him. Nobody came. He stood in the lobby of Netscape for an entire day and not a single person acknowledged him.
He was 24 years old. Broke. Sleeping on a futon. Showering at the YMCA. He had just arrived in Silicon Valley with nothing except a physics degree and an internet connection.
The rejection wasn't polite. It wasn't a "we'll call you." It was the complete absence of acknowledgment. He literally did not matter enough for anyone to walk over and say no to his face.
He left. He went back to his apartment. And he decided that if nobody would hire him, he'd build something himself.
Three years later he sold his first company for $307 million.
Eight years after standing in that lobby, he was worth $180 million from PayPal.
Thirteen years after being invisible in that lobby, he was launching rockets into orbit.
Twenty-eight years after nobody would look at him, he became the richest human being who has ever lived.
The lobby is still there. Netscape isn't.
This is what people get wrong about success stories. They study the victories and skip the lobby. They see the $2 trillion SpaceX valuation and assume there was a straight line from ambition to outcome. There wasn't. There was a 24 year old standing alone in a lobby being treated like he didn't exist.
Every successful person I've ever studied has a lobby story. A moment where the world told them, through action or inaction, that they were nobody. That they didn't matter. That they should go home.
The difference between the ones who became somebody and the ones who stayed nobody is what they did after the lobby.
Most people leave the lobby and lower their ambition. They internalize the rejection as information about themselves. "I guess I'm not good enough for Netscape." The lobby becomes their ceiling.
Musk left the lobby and raised his ambition. He interpreted the rejection as information about Netscape, not about himself. "If they can't see what I have, they don't deserve what I'll build." The lobby became his fuel.
The same rejection. Two completely different interpretations. Two completely different lives.
I think about this whenever I face rejection in my own life. A deal that falls through. A post that gets no engagement. A person who doesn't see the vision.
The question isn't whether you'll stand in a lobby. Everyone stands in a lobby. The question is whether the lobby becomes your ceiling or your fuel.
Netscape hired someone else that day. Whoever they hired has been forgotten by history.
The kid they ignored became Elon Musk.
Your lobby is not your destiny. It's your origin story. But only if you leave it and build.
-refusing to ask for help
-downplaying your achievements
-isolating yourself instead of communicating
-saying "yes" to everything
-neglecting your own needs
-avoiding important responsibilities
-flooding your mind with negativity
-always chasing perfection
