Reminder…Life is short.
Tell people you love them.
Make time for your friends.
Investigate your God-given purpose.
Practice gratitude for the small things.
Stop waiting for the “perfect opportunity”
This is the time.
Everything you want is on the other side of not giving a fuck, asking again, and taking another shot. Life gives you endless lottery tickets to try and you only need one win to change your life forever .
The world is changing, please pick a side. Pick your beliefs, pick your philosophies, pick your circle, pick who you are, pick who you’re not. The world is noisy, alot exists now all at once. Pick your foundation.When the wind comes, it will blow away who is not planted.
A billionaire once said:
"If you're stuck in life, go to the most expensive hotel in your city and sit there. Order a coffee. Absorb all that energy of wealth and let it propel you to the next level."
It works every time.
⚡️The strongest people are not the ones with the strongest beliefs.
They are the ones who can hold a belief with enormous force and still kill it the moment reality kills it.
So to me, conviction is one of the highest forms of leverage because it lets you stay in the game long enough for an asymmetric truth to compound.
But only when paired with surrender to reality.
The deepest line is:
Conviction is the strength to remain unmoved by noise without becoming immovable to truth.
a golden advice my mentor gave me:
if you cannot beat them in knowledge, intelligence or capital; beat them in your ability to take risks.
BOLD FREAKINN RISKSS.
“Opportunities to create wealth are greater in Africa than in any other developed country. I made my first $100 million in the Nigerian stock market.
“Keeping your money in the bank will never make you wealthy. If you’re not willing to take risks, your existence is of no value. Life is full of risks. Many of us are where we are today because we took risks.
“You must be willing to take risks, but they must be calculated risks. No matter how much you have, if you’re not financially independent, you’re still a slave.”
— Billionaire businessman, Cosmas Maduka
An unwritten rule of life is that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. The only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
