Finding your purpose.
Are you struggling to understand your purpose in life?
Do this:
1. Pick a pen & paper
2. Ask yourself
+ Where do I want to be in 5 years?
+ What do I want to be in 5 years?
3. Write your answers down.
4. Meditate.
Learn to ignore things beyond your control, for they are the cause of apprehension, anxiety and depression.
Focus on what you can control: Your thoughts, mood, mouth, consumption, skills, relationships.
I like quiet people. Smart as fuck. Zero show-off. No performance. No drama. Just a calm vibe. Who aren't loud just to be noticed. Who read deep books. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche. Who can sit through a 2-hour documentary about bees and aliens and octopuses and genuinely enjoy it. They find beauty in the ordinary things. Think deeply. Talk less, understand more. The ones who stay low-key and private in a world obsessed with being "seen". These are my people.
Learn to be strict with yourself.
Your time.
Your resources.
Your business.
Your discipline.
The moment you become mediocre, others will take advantage of you and mess you up.
It is better to be called a bully because being afraid to say NO will cost you a lot.
What others think about you is not your problem.
What others say about you is none of your business.
What others say and think about you is their problem. It's their business.
Your business is to:
+ Set goals.
+Commit to them.
+Smash them.

Proof of life 🙂
Finally finished that 5 year masters program that had me on Survival mode didn’t even realise I was on survival mode till I wrote my last exam and basically crashed for weeks..
glad to say that’s done and dusted as I wait for defense🤝.
Locked in on marathon training glad to say the process is processing .
Currently full time early mornings at mjengo as I figure out the next phase of my life 😊.
Thank you for checking in 🙏.
Kobe Bryant woke up at 4AM for 20 years. Not because he loved mornings but because he loved winning more than he loved sleep. Dear Brother, Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.
The older I get, the more I realize that anxiety comes from trying to live in two places at once. Replaying yesterday. Rehearsing tomorrow. All while trying to live right now. It's exhausting. Come back to the present. Handle the two feet right in front of you. You don't need to fix your whole life today. You need to take the next right step. Then another. That's the recipe.
You are not born with value, you build it. If you're a man, you either succeed or get erased. Study your personality, master a single domain, then dominate. The world respects output, not potential. Play the success game like your life depends on it, because it does.
FATHER:
"To father" means to make a woman pregnant.
You have no business raising a child that doesn't belong to you.
A man who raises another man's child is foolish.
You are the beta man enabling misbehaviour in women because she knows an idiot will save her.
#ManDay
Your entire life will change when you realize energy is the most attractive human trait. Not looks, wealth, or status. Energy. Start walking into rooms with genuine enthusiasm, curiosity, and interest. Watch what happens. You become a magnet for the highest quality people. Energy is contagious. Spread the kind you’d want to catch.
Improvement is a battle that must be fought each day anew.
Your next workout doesn't care how strong your last one was.
Your next essay doesn't care how popular your last one was.
Your next investment doesn't care how smart your last one was.
Your best effort, again.
So you are scared whatever you need to do will take you a long time let say 5 years . You feel it’s too long … just know that 5 years will still come and go . At the end will it be I am glad I started or oh man can’t believe 5 years have gone by I wish I started then 🤷
On such nights I remind myself that season s come and go
And surely God could not have bought me this far so that I can fail 😌
So start now time will pass anyway …
Two simple rules:
1. You get better at what you practice.
2. Everything is practice.
Look around and you may be surprised by what people are “practicing" each day. If you consider each moment a repetition, what are most people training for all day long?
Many people are practicing getting mad on social media. Others are practicing the fine art of noticing how they have been wronged. Still more have mastered the craft of making plans (but never following through).
But, of course, it doesn't have to be that way.
What are you practicing?
Men,
— and when you begin winning,
Do not upgrade your life so fast.
Remain modest and humble.
Do not struggle to impress and show off your wins. — You will become a target.
Live like a commoner.
