My best friend is so financially savvy and I really admire that about him. Everything he does is so planned out. He got his place fully furnished within two months or so because he’s been planning the move almost a year in advance. We had a conversation about cars and he told me how he’d test whether he can afford one or not and it made perfect sense.
Get an estimate of the instalment you’d pay for the car you want, add fuel and insurance costs to that amount. Once you have that figure then try saving that amount for the next 6 months. If you can then go ahead and buy the car and use those savings as a deposit. If you can’t save that amount every month then you can’t afford the car.
Realest nigga I know.
I will NEVER not be traumatized by this damn movie “Beloved”.  I remember seeing it in the theater. it was packed. after the first 7 minutes, there was a handful of people left. by the end there were 5.

i looked into brian steel bc him succeeding in durk & thug’s cases isn’t even the half of it. in 1992 he was assigned an “unwinnable” attempted-murder case involving an illiterate man named greg shephard. steel couldn’t get him to talk so he slept in jail w him until he opened up
fun fact: if you’re only valued when you’re radiant, sensual and sweet but not when you’re sad, frustrated or needing emotional depth then you’re being objectified and this goes to friendship too.
"This water pot was used during slavery. Buried in the ground, animals would also drink from it, but enslaved people had their hands tied behind their backs out of fear from the enslaver. As the water dropped, each group had to lean further in, often cutting their necks on the side of the pot meaning the final group to drink, had blood, saliva, mucus, animal waste in the water. Slavery was sadistic beyond words"
Never forget what they did...
Again, picking cotton was the least of our problems as slaves.
We were being skinned and made into leather chairs and shoes.
Babies were being fed to crocodiles
Men were raped while their children and wives watched.
Wives were gang-raped in front of their husbands.
Parents were invited to auctions where their children were sold off
People were amputated for not meeting quotas.
All they ever show you in Hollywood movies is black people being whipped whilst picking cotton.
All this was also justified with the bible.
I'm telling you — now, as much as ever, you must write by hand every morning. You must write three pages on whatever is currently on your mind. You must preserve and strengthen your thinking through your writing.
I heard a billionaire was asked one question in a street interview: “What’s the best advice you’d give your younger self?” He didn't talk about money or hustle. He said, “If a bird lands on a branch, does the bird trust the branch… or does it trust its wings?” Jobs can disappear, people can leave, money can run out, and circumstances can change. The branch was never the point. Build your skills, your character, and your ability to adapt. Trust your wings.
someone said "if you don't let people experience the consequences of their actions towards u, you will remain a safe place for their worst behavior" and I couldn't agree more

I heard someone say, satan got adam and eve to fix their eyes on one tree when god had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of god that's already surrounding you.
You guys!! I bookmarked this earlier so I could try it, and I’m currently doing it. Omg, it smells so good!! I added orange peel, as recommended in the quote
This should be a staple on days when you’re deep cleaning
