The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.
I’ve recently accepted that my job is characterised by “uk’ncenga”

- uncenga iBank

Uyancenga nje waya waya!!
So, beyond resilience, you must also embody humility cos this game is not for people who are too proud to beg.
Somebody said “The fact that I survived seasons where my income wasn’t enough but my needs were still met will always be proof that God came through for me.” Whewww I felt that
My spouse saying to the four year old about his brother, "He is telling you about it because he's excited, not because he thinks you don't know." And that, my friends, is also a lesson I need to hear.
Two people. Same TFSA. Same R2,000 a month. Same 10% average return.
Person A starts at 25. Contributes for 20 years, until 45. Then stops completely.
Never adds another rand. The money just sits, growing, untouched, for another 20 years.
Person B waits. Starts at 45. Contributes the same R2,000 a month for the same 20 years, right up to 65.
Total contributed by each person: R480,000. Identical. Not a rand more, not a rand less.
At 65, Person B has about R1.5 million. Solid. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Person A has about R11.1 million.
Same contributions. Same monthly amount. Same return. One number is over 7 times bigger than the other.
The only difference between them is 20 years of time Person A's money got to sit and compound before Person B even started.
That gap isn't skill. It isn't luck.
It's math doing what it always does when you give it decades instead of years.
Your TFSA lets you put in R46,000 a year, R500,000 in a lifetime, completely tax free. But the account was never the hard part.
Time is the part you can't buy back.
Start today. The version of you at 65 is already counting on it.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
to everyone spending valentine’s day alone tomorrow…don’t let one empty seat convince you that you’re hard to love…sometimes love is just late…not lost.❤️
a sign that a man is right for you is that you become more playful. the seriousness in you melts away. you stop stressing. you become more whimsical and joyous
I will never reconcile with anyone who deliberately went out their way to sabotage or hurt me in anyway. This can be family, friends, associates, whoever. Once you show me who you are, I can't unsee it.
Facts. The brain finds comfort in the familiar, not necessarily what’s safe. If all you’ve known is trauma and chaos, your brain will choose that over safety and peace every single time. That is until you break the pattern and rewire your neural pathways.
