My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
โIt doesnโt make sense to continue wanting something if youโre not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you donโt want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.โ๏ฟผ
i hate how social media makes people forget that life has stages. it's normal to be broke, to have broke friends or partners and yes it's even normal to be unemployed at times. these are phases we all go through.
some people are lucky enough to find good jobs at a young age and afford a certain lifestyle. others take longer and that's perfectly okay. we need to stop comparing ourselves and start accepting our journey. i just want all of us to be at peace with where we are in life while still working and striving for better.
You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
Iโm not the only one who witnessed that massive giveaway Bandits hosted on TikTok. The desperation from Nigerians especially the girls, was honestly shocking.
Account numbers (mostly OPay and MoniePoint) were flying across the screen non-stop during his live stream between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM two nights ago.
The Fulani host ended up dishing out over โฆ50 million, and the way people were shamelessly begging their so-called oppressors for money left me speechless.
Thousands were tuned in, glued to the live.
How did we, as a country, sink to this level? Itโs genuinely heartbreaking.๐
The reason why we will continue to recieve poor services from airlines, telecoms, electricity discos and the rest in Nigeria is because we canโt sue companies for damages and win. So they operate anyhow with no consequences
