I think I mentioned this in one of my post few weeks ago, that fake life is more costly than living your normal life. At times the money you would have used to sort out other serious and important issues, you will use it to impress people who don't even care, just to make sure you appear rich and we'll to do, when you are actually suffering.
I see people borrow money to look good just to impress others, and I ask, why can't they borrow the money to invest or do a serious business, follow the process and be consistent with it till they make it, instead of faking a lifestyle. You will always hear people say , fake it till you make it , and that's a very stupid ideology.
I remember one friend of mine that year, a Lady. She will always be complaining of lack of money because she was not working as at then. But about 3 times in a week , you will see her dress well, go to one big hotel, sit at their pool side or bar , order some chops and drink and just be staying there doing nothing. So one day she invited me to the sit out at the pool side , I thought it was an event or something serious. When I arrived there she was just sitting alone , I joined her and she ordered some chops . I asked her why she likes coming out just to sit like that for nothing and be spending the money that she keeps complaining that she has non. Madam told me that at least coming out to sit there in a big hotel and dressing well, might attract rich men to you and they will think that you are so expensive. I asked her is that was not fake life, she told me " fake it till you make it." I was dumbfounded, I told her I will be going, she asked my why that I should still stay a bit, I told her I have something important to go do for myself, even if it means going back home to sleep. I left her and go my way, because i have no time for fake people and life.
Dear friends , the world will pressurize you, but it is wise to be real and follow the process.
