This 👆👆
Is the reality of the world of friends we live in.
People want to pressure you to live above your means
Knowingly and unknowingly
To mock or criticize
Just because they’re allergic to good news.

You see such people?
Avoid them.
Else, you won’t ever be happy with anything in your life.
None of your achievements would bring smiles to you.
You’d always feel like an under achiever no matter how hard and smart you work.
Your smiles would never be genuine.

Love yourself
Do your thing
Strife to be better
Avoid toxic friends
Cut them off

The reason you go broke easily may not be because you aren’t getting enough money or even because the bills exceed the available revenue but because you haven’t acquired a good savings culture/inability to differentiate needs from wants..

You must have heard that ‘tiny drops make an ocean’ and it’s true..
I’ll share a little experience from secondary school..

I graduated from Abia state senior science school Ihie(most of my classmates are here on my list😁)
If you passed through the boarding houses in Nigeria you’ll know they’re living hell(except maybe the tushed ones I see these days) now take that hell and multiply it by 50?? There you go! You have my Alma mater🤣🤣

We saw nwii in that school, the only good thing about the school is the standard of Education! You go sabi book by fire by force😒
But conditions surrounding studies? It was a sorry sight, by the way it was years after graduating that I realized that for three years of my life I lived like a lower animal just to acquire an education in a boarding house😑

Savings brought about this story yeah??
We were fed ‘things’ you won’t give an ekuke to eat, the soups?? Eeewww! Stew??😞 jollof? Beans?? Tea nko? Ahn ahn… the only good thing from the refectory was the eggs on sunday and the bread.

So you now know why boarding students look with anticipation of ‘visiting days’..
So here’s what happened, every visiting, my mum, dad or my brother would come but largely my mum, even when she didn’t come on the Saturday that’s the usual visiting day maybe because she couldn’t find anyone to stay in her shop, she’ll definitely come on Sunday(God bless her for me)

Now it was known as ‘contraband’ ‘breaking bounds’ etc to bring in things, or move beyond certain points except when it’s visiting, but because my classmates then knew my mum always came fully loaded, even if I weren’t aware she came, they’d come call me..

So my savings journey started! Now, I had every reason to not save a dime from there because we didn’t have good food to start with but I already knew where I was going back to after school, ground no level..

There were several goodies on display for sale by teachers’ wives then during break periods but I’d be the last person to buy anything, maybe once in a black moon, not like I didn’t fancy those, or I wasn’t tempted, but I was quick to tell myself that ‘me and these students no be the same’..
Then if on your visiting you get 500naira or 1k you’re big! I mean by the time you buy 20naira meat pie like 5 and share to your goons, you’re the lord😁😁

So painstakingly, little by little, small denials here and there, the savings kept trickling in..
I never went to my house master to ask for money, instead i always went to save more, so when i graduated, i had 25k saved! Yes you read right!
This was when a basket of tomatoes cost 3k or 5k max! So imagine my mum’s amazement when I bounced into the market from school and gave her 25k! She had to sit me down, query me as to how I got that kind of money, not until I showed her the card where my money was ticked with my house Master before she believed me and relaxed!

The trick was, I was able to differentiate what I wanted from what I needed, before I spent 10naira in school then,I’d have been certain that I needed to spend that 10naira, if I couldn’t convince myself? No way I’m spending a dime! Even if everyone else bought or spent 10naira, I needed to agree within me that it was worth it..

Now, I’m not sure, how many understand what a need is and what a want is..
First you should know that your needs and wants must correlate with your current financial capabilities, I’ll explain, you can’t have access to 50k a month and expect your needs to be the same as someone who has access to 500k a month.

You see? Life comes in stages, as you climb the financial ladder, the needs and wants change too, so you can’t be in the first step of the ladder and be taking care of needs in the 2nd or 3rd step of the ladder, they’ll be WANTS and not NEEDS, hopefully you’ll understand that…

Your ability to differentiate your needs from wants and spend accordingly will determine how far you’ll go financially..
For instance…Just because you have 50k in your savings today doesn’t mean you can afford to buy a 50k or even 30k hair.
Teach yourself to save, even from the driest of pockets, tiny drops do make an ocean..

I hope you’re having a lovely evening dears❤

Experience you been experiencing issues getting a decent night’s rest? You might be accidentally captivating in exercises that are making peaceful rest increasingly troublesome.

At the point when you don’t get in any event seven to nine hours of rest every night, you’re setting yourself up for botches at work, foggy reasoning, and possibly dangerous mishaps. In this way, it’s critical to rehearse great propensities so as to get the quality rest you need and wake up invigorated and prepared to take on the day. 

Here are 5 practices to maintain a strategic distance from before sleep time. 

1. Argue

In spite of the fact that outrage is a solid feeling, when it’s not taken care of appropriately, it can unleash destruction on your connections and your wellbeing. Contending with somebody, particularly directly before sleep time, can place you in a condition of battle or flight, making it difficult to nod off or have a serene rest. You’re likewise bound to wake up in a quite awful temperament in case you’re despite everything managing an uncertain issue from the prior night. 

2. Drinking excessive amount of alcohol

Drinking before you rest isn’t such a good thought. 

You may appreciate a glass of wine or two preceding going to bed, yet this isn’t the most ideal approach to get a decent night’s rest. Liquor may assist you with nodding off speedier and appreciate a more profound rest, anyway it can likewise meddle with different parts of your rest.

3. Eat 

Expending an overwhelming supper directly before you’re going to rest is requesting inconvenience. You’re likely setting yourself up for evening time assimilation issues. An examination distributed in The American Journal of Gastroenterology found that eating three hours or less before heading to sleep is emphatically connected with a danger of having indigestion. 

4. Drink lots of water

On the off chance that you drink such a large number of liquids before sleep time, you’ll be heartbroken. 

Without a doubt, it’s essential to remain hydrated, however it could negatively affect your capacity to stay unconscious. Getting up to rush to the washroom a few times during the night will make it extreme to have a decent night’s rest. In case you’re parched, drink a limited quantity of water as opposed to chugging a full glass. You’ll say thanks to us later. 

5. Watching a scary movie

Do you like viewing alarming motion pictures? You may need to just watch them during the day. In case you’re inclined to having bad dreams, the exact opposite thing you need to do is have a blood and gore flick long distance race before jumping into bed. Upsetting dreams will make it hard to stay unconscious or return to rest in the wake of awakening from something alarming

1. The first thing that you need to do is to wake up early, a little before sunrise and with a smile on your face. This really reenergizes your mind. No matter what is going in your life wake up with a smile.

2. Go outside of your house or room in an open space. Take few long and deep breathes for 10-15 minutes. In morning air is pure and less polluted.

3. Drink one litre mineral enriched water.

4. Clean your teeth, body, hair etc with cold water. Cold water have more oxygen percentage in dissolved form.

5. Touch your grandparents/parents feet (Indian gesture) and take their blessings. If you have nuclear family then make breakfast for your partner and eat together. Try to avoid caffeine. Instead of it, drink vitamin C enriched juices.

6. Plan your schedule for whole day. Set some goals, mini tasks. Assign yourself some duties.

7. Wish everyone with happy mood. If something bad happens in the morning do not panic. Just stay calm and cool.

1. Matthew
   Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound.
2. Mark
   Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead.
3. Luke
   Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost.
4. John
   Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death.
   John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully
5. Peter
   He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross.
   According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died.
6. James
   The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his
   enemies beat James to death with a fuller’s club.

• This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.

1. James the Son of Zebedee,
   was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
2. Bartholomew
   Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.
3. Andrew
   Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: ‘I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.’ He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.
4. Thomas
   Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent.
5. Jude
   Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
6. Matthias
   The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
7. Paul
   Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many
   epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.

Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Pass on to encourage other Christians
Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer,
But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK,
But find it easy to read other books?
Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God,
Yet we forward the nasty ones?
Why are Prayers getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding
Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity,
But very difficult to engage with God?
Think about it, are you going to forward this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you will get laughed at?
