Sharing my thoughts on life

[Thegirlduru @thegirlduru]

I’m not here to impress anyone.
I’m here to understand systems - money, power, relationships, faith and move intelligently within them.

Growth is deliberate.

@sumda_jr Alright. Is there a cure for a lazy eye at adulthood?

[Thegirlduru @thegirlduru]

A friend of mine got a salary increase and immediately he changed his lifestyle.

Before the increase came, he managed with a small comfortable apartment, cooked most of his meals and used public transportation.

Immediately his income doubled, within two months, he moved into a more expensive apartment, upgraded his phone, started eating out almost every day and suddenly had new subscriptions and expenses he never had before.

I asked him why he was spending that way.

He laughed and said, “I’m finally earning more. I deserve to enjoy my money.”

And honestly, he wasn't wrong because he actually worked for it, so he deserved to enjoy some of it.

But the problem wasn’t that he enjoyed the increase.

The problem was that every salary increase became a reason to increase his expenses.

A few years later, my cousin received almost the same kind of salary increase.

But she did something completely different.

She kept her lifestyle almost the same.

She told herself:

“I can afford this, but I don't need it yet.”

Instead of immediately upgrading everything, she saved more, invested some, built an emergency fund and used part of the extra income to develop skills and create additional sources of income.

It wasn't exciting.

There were moments she wanted to buy the things her new income could afford.

But she kept reminding herself:

“I don't want to look rich today and remain financially trapped tomorrow.”

Years later, the difference became obvious.

My friend friend was earning more but still constantly stressed about money.

While my cousin had built enough financial capacity to make some decisions without panic.

That is the power of delayed gratification.

You don't have to punish yourself or live miserably.

You simply learn to tell yourself:

“I can have it, but I don't have to have it now.”

Every increase in income doesn't need to become an increase in lifestyle.

Sometimes, the smartest thing you can do with extra money is to leave your lifestyle where it is and let your financial capacity grow quietly.

Because the goal isn't just to earn more money.

The goal is to eventually have enough freedom that money doesn't control every decision you make.

Just learned something new from KAA and if you check what he said, it is nothing but the truth. He said

If you weigh the lifestyle of the rich and that of the poor, you would discover that the poor are oftentimes living a more extravagant lifestyle.

Here’s an example:

A poor man that’s worth 2M buys a wristwatch of 50k. That’s 2.5% of his 2M.

A rich man that’s worth 2B buys a wristwatch of 10M. That’s 0.5% of his 2B.

Now, the poor man hears that a rich man bought an ‘ordinary’ wristwatch for a whooping ten million and he says the rich man is living an extravagant lifestyle.

But in the actual sense, the poor man spent five times more than the rich ‘extravagant’ man.

E shock you bah? 😂

The right mathematics is not just how much anyone spends. It’s how many percent of the total worth is spent.

If you are worth 50M and you buy a car of 20M. You have spent 40% of your total worth.

If a rich man who’s worth 2 Billion buys a 300 million car. He has spent just 15% of his money.

You are spending almost three times more extravagantly than the rich man.

Next time, get the calculations right. Live with this today. 😂

@sumda_jr I dey tell you 😂😂😂

[Thegirlduru @thegirlduru]

I used to think the most important question was asking, “How much money can I make?”

But the more I learn about life, the more I realize that question is not complete.

Because you can give someone a lot of money, but if their mindset, habits and decisions haven't grown, they can lose everything quickly.

The question I ask now is, “What kind of person must I become to create, attract, manage and sustain the life I want?”

Because before wealth becomes visible in your account, it must become visible in your thinking.

In your decisions.
In how you handle opportunities.
In how you manage small amounts of money.
In how you respond when things don't go your way.

Don't only work on making more money.

Work on becoming the person capable of keeping it, multiplying it and using it wisely.

So, don't just chase the life you want.

Become the person who can sustain it when you finally get it.

How many rural communities in Nigeria have electricity?

Some communities can go weeks or even months with little or no reliable power supply.

While most people see the darkness and complain about it.

Someone else sees a business opportunity.

They buy an inverter or solar setup, create a simple charging point, and start charging phones, power banks and other small devices for a fee. With proper management, they can make #15,000 - #20,000 a day.

If they make ₦15,000–₦20,000 per day, working Monday to Saturday:

6 days/week
4 weeks ≈ 24 working days/month
Monthly revenue:
₦15,000 × 24 = ₦360,000
₦20,000 × 24 = ₦480,000

So, they can make approximately ₦360,000–₦480,000 per month.

How many people earn that in a month?

Same problem.

Different perspective.

One person sees an inconvenience.

Another sees a business.

This is not about exploiting people's problems. It's about learning to identify needs and creating solutions people are willing to pay for.

Sometimes, the opportunity you're looking for is hiding inside the problem everyone else keeps complaining about.

Saint Goodness bringing you words of inspiration today. This my veil too make sense ajeh😌😌😌

A poor mindset sees problems.

A growing mind asks, “What does this problem need, and can I become the person who provides it?”

Where do you belong?

@cryptofergani Y'all will learn the hard way. I warned you yesterday

[Thegirlduru @thegirlduru]

I have an aunt who, whenever my grandparents hear that she’s coming to visit, they’ll quickly go and hide their food items. 😂

This woman eats like a dragon.

The irony of it all is that if you visit her house, you’ll almost starve to death. She’ll be looking at you as though fasting is part of your purpose in life. 😭

She go wan use fasting wound you. 😂

I spent another day on a diaper because of contraceptives.
Today marks 2 years of me wearing diapers because of the 2 months prevention injection shot I took at the clinic

Because of that my husband doesn't want to have anything to do with me again 😭

And I did it because of him so he would not look out side or cheat

I bleed so heavily everyday in such a way that I can no longer use pads,but pampers instead. Dear ladies, rather have 2 babies every year than to use contraceptives. These things were never designed to help us, but to h@rm us. Let's all stop using contraceptives.
