This was not the exact words Jim Rohn used, but his words were similar.
So, it's already night time. Though the day is not yet very dark for stars to come out. However, it's getting really dark by the minute. I'm standing outside in front of my base, grateful for all I have, for the things I've passed through and for what I will get and for the things I will have to pass through to get what I will get.
Life is not easy. Life can be easy though, it all depends on the diverse path we take and the choices we make. I think we are the determinants of how easy life gets for us. However, one thing I know is that life is never filled with only bees, honeys and sweet perfumes. There is bound to be hardships in one corner or the other. I think that's the most unique and special part of living.
Most of us are hustlers. Anywhere there's means to make a few bucks, we are there, standing ready to do what it takes to make that buck given that the wages is worth out time and effort. I'm a contender. A hustler that never leaves a dime out the table. I prefer to keep thousands of dollars safe, and go in search of one cent. That's how I am when it comes to finances. But my honour, dignity and self respect comes first though. This is why I would never venture into illegal actions to make money.
My YoY (2024/2025) just came in. I feel good that 2025 was x1.7% better than 2024. I didn't expect to do this well in 2025 but then, I'm glad. Though I'm not all that happy. My split personality says I could have done more but personally, I think I'm calm with this achievement. I'm tired though and I need some rest. I guess I'll have a good rest tonight after publishing this post.
A dual personality is something I've had for a few years now. I have a name for it. Yeah I know I sound like a mentally ill patient right now. Lol. But I'm just being open right now, which not many will be able to do. Instead of being a psycho, my alter ego is quite the helpful type. Disciplined, calculative, strict, time bound, and has no room for failure. I do write in my posts that I punish and reward myself when I do well or when I fail. Welp, it's the alter ego that takes control during this time. A typical Nigerian would say I'm prolly possed.. lol.. but no, I'm calm.
This has helped me a lot though. I've constantly looked for ways to betterment my self. I no longer blindly go in search of finances or make stupid decisions, the calculative part of me do that for me and trust me, his decisions are top notch. Most times, I allow him take over cause' why not. With him there's bound to be progress.
Anyways, so, last year, I learnt something very valuable. It's not just about being a millionaire, but it is about who you must become in other to be a millionaire. What values must you posses. What must you be worth? What if you lost the million you made, would your worth bring back the million to you? Or would that be the end of it?
These questions are things I've been asking myself throughout the year, 2025. There's a reason why a scammer can not secure the bag when they finally get it. This is because they are not worth a thing. When the money they get from scamming people finishes, they go back to being broke, which will make them to look for their next victim. Same thing applied to being a robber.
However, if you built your self, developed your worth and take time to understand the financial system, even when all your money is collected from you, your worth will always bring more money to your door step.
So, don't waste time blindly chasing the back. Spend your time growing, building and developing your self in all ramifications, including your social life. This way, I think, you would get wealth, not just riches.
Thats all from me. Thank you for reading..
