I rebuke every spirit of entitlement around me. May I be surrounded by people who value respect, gratitude, integrity, and mutual honor. Not everyone is entitled to my time, energy, access, or resources.I choose wisdom in my relationships, discernment in my decisions, and peace in my circle.
Your prime is not in your 20s. Your prime is the moment you realize nobody is coming to save you, and as a man, you're on your own. Alwayyyyyyys, on your own.
Dude on his timeline: “I have 50 dogs.”
Dude from another timeline: “That’s not possible. I have a friend who bought a Sebastian Mastiff for ₦20 million, and it costs him ₦2 million a month to maintain.”
This is what happens when we try to sound smart all the time.
The guy from the other timeline failed to consider that the dude with 50 dogs probably has German Shepherds, Boerboels, Japanese Spitz, or even local breeds that aren’t as expensive and are relatively cheap to maintain.
Hell, the guy with the 50 dogs might actually have the money to own and maintain 50 Sebastian Mastiffs.
You don’t know it all. You can’t know it all. Eat some humble pie.
A tiger wandered into a part of the forest where a leopard had spent years hunting.
The tiger was larger, stronger, and more than capable of killing the leopard if it came down to a fight.
The leopard knew that too.
So instead of standing its ground, it went up a tree and stayed there.
The tiger paced below for a while, looking up every few minutes, but there wasn’t much it could do. Tigers can climb, especially when they’re young, but they aren’t built to move through trees the way leopards are.
After some time, the tiger left.
The leopard climbed down and carried on as if nothing had happened.
As humans, there’s something to learn from that. You don’t always have to display your strength, sometimes wisdom is knowing when to avoid a confrontation, wait it out.
There is money in this world, like insane money bruh. People are making ridiculous money out there because of information, access and network.
Pressure yourself bro, you are not doing enough.
mistakes you must avoid when god starts blessing you, as a man;
1. helping too quickly
2. talking too much about your blessings
3. getting too comfortable
I used to buy those cheap sunglasses from the roadside all the time and always thought, "What's the point of buying expensive ones? I'm going to loose them anyway." Then one day, I gathered the courage and bought an expensive sunglasses. And guess what? I still have them. I've taken care of them ever since.
That's when I realized those cheap sunglasses weren't getting lost because they were cheap? They were getting lost because I didn't value them enough to care. It's hard to accept, but sometimes in someone else's story, you are that cheap pair of sunglasses.
