Study the winners before you join the race. Some of them are rich and miserable, divorced and on pills. If you wouldn't trade lives with them, don't copy their grind.
Your "stingy" friend is clearing debt. Your "rude" friend is barely holding it together. The guy you mock is just trying to survive. Everybody looks rich on Instagram. Nobody posts the loan alert. Go easy. Everyone's fighting something.
Stop expecting others to articulate convictions you lack the courage to express.
Your expectations are not another person's instructions. Disagreement is not betrayal.
When emotions rise, think harder.
Someone gets a platform, speaks their mind, and suddenly we are offended because they did not deliver the speech we rehearsed in our heads.
If your convictions matter so much, why must they borrow another person's courage to be heard?
Own your thoughts. Defend your position. Find your voice.
The spiritual realm is real. You’re busy chasing money… while someone else is chasing your soul. You’re too trusting. Too friendly. Too careless. Wake up.
Watch who you sleep with. Watch who you do business with. Watch who you drink with. The price of ignorance is destruction.
Your spouse met you on a road already moving. They joined the journey. They never signed up to be the destination. Love them loud. Build with them. But keep walking your own road.
If they leave, cry. Eat badly for a week. Then get up. One passenger got off. The journey didn't.
Heavenly Father, thank You for allowing us to see November. Thank You for every time You protected us from decisions we were too desperate to recognise as dangerous.
As this month begins, we ask for courage. Some of us are entering November with interviews ahead, new responsibilities, business decisions, difficult conversations, and opportunities that make us question whether we are good enough.
Father, do not allow fear to make us abandon what we have prayed for. When we feel inadequate, remind us that we do not have to know everything to take the next responsible step.
Your Word says, "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." (2 Timothy 1:7). Let this truth shape how we face the unknown.
Do it again, Father. Gideon was hiding when You called him to lead. He saw his limitations before he could see the assignment.
As November unfolds, give us courage that does not depend on perfect circumstances.
In Jesus' name. AMEN.
I went into a shop at a fuel station past midnight and there were two girls managing the shop. A gentleman kept picking one thing after another and taking them to to the girl at the till. I heard the girl grumbling that he is wasting her time. Why does he not pick all things at once. She had no idea that this man being in the shop is what brings in the money that pays her! She was feeling bothered. She wanted to sit and mind her phone instead of standing up to work. I was thinking to myself that if you are bothered then leave the job and go home spend all the time you want on your phone. When you come to work get busy with work first. A customer is disturbing you? What do you mean young lady?
I looked at the kid and felt for her. I felt more for the fuel station owner who hired the kid.
I just bought my bu two kilos of Goat’s meat and as I passed by the supermarket to get cooking oil, I left the kavera of the meat with the jaj guy outside the supermarket.
On coming out of the supermarket, I’m just so pissed at myself, no one else!
That’s all I can say! 😭
If one rumour can rewrite who I am to you, you never knew me. You just knew the gossip. Keep your distance. I'm not auditioning for a role I already own.
You learn a lot about a person when they’re angry and you’re vulnerable. Do they protect your dignity, or do they use the moment to collect ammunition for the next war?
