Very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook. We should strive to develop a new inner world and Forget the big house. Forget the fancy cars. Forget the expensive vacations. Happiness is found in the simple, everyday moments with those we love as It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. So Withdraw positive thoughts from your memory bank. Let the others fade away. And your confidence, that feeling of being on top of the world, will zoom up-ward. You take a big step forward toward conquering your fear when you refuse to remember negative, self-deprecating thoughts. Good Evening Brethren and Win Today. Have a Blessed Friday

In primary school almost everybody wanted to be a pilot, doctor, lawyer, nurse, newscaster, engineer, accountant, soldier, scientist, "bank manager" and other fanciful or supposedly high end jobs that children, per their socialization thought were good or prestigious jobs by the standards of the day.

As we aged realities began to dawn on us. Some of us were quite sharp in the classroom, but terribly useless in extra curricular activities , got bullied a lot. Others were fantastic at sports, but not much was going on for them in the classroom, others were the stars of cultural performances in drumming, dancing and singing, some knew maths like something but could never define photosynthesis or identify a topic sentence.

Then the money part...some people lost their parents and had to fall out, some too realised their destiny is to push truck and sell tomatoes or do galamsey and not to be solving for x on the number line. Some too knew they wanted to born 15 so time no dey, they had to leave school and start fast.

The courses got more difficult as we progressed and those who felt this nonsense must end stopped somewhere, interests began to change, socialization also changes alongside, the soldier wannabes saw that it's not really their cup of tea cos they were too short, the accountants realized they liked science better, and some doctor wannabes also realised selling g string and organizing people's wedding for them was more rewarding.

Some of us too never quite knew what we wanted to do so we kept studying any course that looked challenging and interesting.

What am I trying to say? What we become or don't become is a complex web of socialization, family, economy, fate, cultural beliefs, circumstances, opportunities, connections and the relevance of your family on the food chain in this messed up country.

1. YOU NEED TO START
This is your only life.
It's too short to keep putting off doing what you want to do.
Live your life for you, not anymore else.

2. YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS CRUCIAL
Regardless of how disciplined or motivated you are.
If you're in the wrong environment you'll never get anything done.

3. BE READY TO PIVOT
Things change, plans fall through and life happens.
Be ready and willing to pivot when chasing your goals according to the feedback you're getting.

4. BOOKS ARE MENTAL MA********ON
I love reading, I love learning.
But too much reading and not enough doing is just like binge-watching YouTube.
Read, apply, repeat.

5. NAMAZ IS REALLY A WAY TO SUCCESS
Skipping namaz will make your brain and life unsorted

6. THE GYM IS PREPARATION
In the gym, your mind is telling you to quit the whole time.
By not quitting, you're building your mental fortitude and resilience in preparation for life.

7. YOU CAN'T STOP LEARNING
The moment you stop learning, you stop progressing.

Here are some steps to help you read a newspaper effectively:

1. Choose a reputable newspaper: Select a well-respected newspaper with a good reputation for unbiased reporting and factual content.

2. Scan the headlines: Begin by quickly scanning the headlines to get an idea of the day's major news stories.

3. Read the articles: Read the articles that interest you thoroughly, paying attention to the lead paragraphs that summarize the article's main points.

4. Look for context: To get a deeper understanding of the news story, try to place it in its broader context by looking for background information and related stories.

5. Take breaks: Break up your reading sessions into manageable chunks to avoid becoming overwhelmed or fatigued.

6. Use critical thinking skills: Be wary of biased reporting or false information, and use your critical thinking skills to evaluate the credibility of the news source and the information presented.

7. Stay up-to-date: Make reading the news a regular habit to stay informed about current events and important issues.

Good Evening boys,

The most important things in your life are:

1. Your career.
2. Your health.
3. Your family.

1. Always take your career seriously. Never ever fu***ng compromise on your career. No matter what happens. If there is anything you should be running after is your goals, not the girls.

2. Always take your health seriously. Both mental and physical. Go to gym. Be consistent. Work on yourself and build yourself.

3. No one in the world is more important than your family. Always be there for your siblings. Give time and educate your younger brothers and sisters. Be the one in the family who supports everyone, motivates everyone, solves the conflict and builds a ladder for the younger siblings to climb on.

And.

ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR PARENTS.

In your late 20s and early 30s, you will realise that, as a man, your biggest strength is what you PROVIDE.

That’s why always focus on career and at the right time, when you are physically fit and financially stable: they will run after you. Many good families will send you rishtas. You will get to marry a good girl and everything will just follow.

Last advice : No matter where you reach and how much you achieve, always be humble, gentle, and show compassion to everyone. Help as many people as you can. Never ever be egoistic and arrogant even if you become millionaire one day. How you treat others define you!

Be a man who loves, helps and create a safe space for everyone.

Good luck 🙌

Don't compare your life to others. There's no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it's their time as The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it and Don't waste your time with explanations. People only hear what they want to hear because Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them. As Some don't recognize your courage because they don't know your story. They don't appreciate how far you've come so Stop looking for reasons to be unhappy. Focus on the things you do have, and the reasons you should be happy as Beauty doesn't last forever, but a beautiful personality does. Good morning brethren and Win Today.

Now, when the waves of sadness hit my mind, I divert my mind by focusing on the things that the Almighty has blessed me with. I start thanking Almighty for those blessings.
I read the old chats of my close ones. I read the compliments someone has given me. I search my posts in the Facebook search bar to watch who else has posted this and read the comments of people.

I've surrounded myself with positive people and I just talk to them. I'm cutting off everyone who's toxic for my mental health, no matter how close he was to me, and soon I'll cut off many ones.

I'm doing all this for the sake of my mental health and TBH, it helped me a lot. Now, I don't want my -ve thoughts to dominate my +ve thoughts.

🌿Love, Care, Respect, Compassion🌹
Enough of so much hatred
Enough of so many wars
Enough of endless blame games
Enough if biting criticism
Enough of petty quarrels
Enough of all pervading negativity
Enough of all inequalities
Enough of inhuman crimes
Enough.. Enough.. Enough..
Let's come to the old fold
Be the sheep of holy Christ
Be the holy cow of Krishna
Be the sacred hymn of Meera
Be innocent voice of a child
Be the sound of flowing river
And blow blow blow softly
Like thin air on mountain top
Like a buttery on rose petal
Like a dewdrop on grass blade
Like faint smile on Buddha's face
Like deep silence of Mahavira
All mankind needs urgently
Patience, Devotion and Peace
Love, Care, Respect and Compassion

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
*William Shakespeare*

Some stances in life make you
Rearrange the place of people inside your heart
You'll never know the real face of any person
Except in tough days

There's a big difference between
Someone who says to you
I won't leave you till I'm sure you're feeling better
And someone who says
I'll leave you till you're feeling better
And someone who doesn't care
About your sadness in the first place

At some point in your life
You'll be forced to close the eyes of the heart
And open the eyes of the mind
And see the real faces of people around you

Such deceptions and blows
Make you grow 20 years instantly
Grow in maturity and wisdom

These experiences in life
Are a blessing in disguise
For they allow us to stop wasting
Our life and energy with the wrong persons

Such experiences also bring us closer to God
For unlike people, God never fails
He always raises us when we fall
And builds us stronger than we were
Through His unconditional love and blessings

*Don't*

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.
