I call it the "Do nothing principle". I made it up. Here is how it goes. When you stay like this and don't do anything, it is very relaxing and enjoyable but when you do something it is hard and difficult.

Example you stay like that, throughout the day you do nothing, you just go through social media, watch Netflix, you catch cruise. It's very enjoyable. But there is a risk. You don't know how your life will turn out later. Life will get hard.

When I was younger I behaved like that. I spent my days going through social media, watching movies having fun and I felt good. When I started this life was so sweet that time. The economy was not that bad.

But when the economy started getting bad a little , I tried to do something but I gave up when I failed. I was just enjoying myself but I didn't realize then that I made a horrible mistake.

Because of those times I enjoyed myself while giving up, life became hard, so damn hard. It didn't start at once, it started so slowly that it became so difficult to bear.

It's just funny. Giving up when things weren't that bad. Wetin I go come talk now, in 2026? At that point I never see anything. These days I'm even scared to give up.

So, when you do things, like learn skills, research and put things in place it's not enjoyable. It's hard, I even get headache doing it at times.

I wanted to give up but I learnt from my past experiences and held on. I could give up now but within a shorter time compared to previous years.

I could give up in two weeks or a month and come back. I am glad that I kept doing something because if I didn't I wouldn't reach this level.

So if you decide not do anything it carries a huge risk. Things might go well in the future. You might get a good job, travel abroad through scholarship or something good.

But what are the odds that it will happen? I won't tell you that if you do nothing today you will suffer tomorrow. I can't tell the future.

I'm just saying it as it relates to my own life. After what I experienced for the past couple of years, I'm scared not to do anything. Not doing anything is a huge risk for me. I can't make that mistake again.

If I had put things in place and taken action when the economy was good, when life was rosy, I couldn't have suffered like this when the country got bad.

But despite all that I thank God for everything, it was a learning experience. 🙏🏼

So whenever you want to be lazy and not do anything, and hope everything will fall in place later, remember this post I just made and weigh your risks. God bless you 👍🏼🙏🏼

Oh and Btw, I said that I will be sharing mentors with you. I postponed. The guy in the picture below, his name is KAA, you can search him on Facebook.

He is also the owner of the KAA truths podcast. He is a very good mentor. His page is filled with so much wisdom and advice, so make sure to check him out.

Thank you 👍🏼

A book author once said "Use time poorly and you will be poor". Like if you don't spend your time doing important things you will be poor.

This has been said many times, I know you've heard it before.

I have a contradiction to that quote. Sometimes if you want to make money which equates to using your time wisely, if you've not found that thing you're good at or passionate about, there's a possibility you'll fail many times.

To make this clearer, look at this image below. Everyone should know him, in case you don't know him his name is Kabby Lame. Let me tell his story.

He got sacked from his job in 2020 during the lockdown. He was living in Italy in a rented apartment. He wasn't that wealthy. Because he lost his job he was posting Tiktok videos at home.

Posting on Tiktok led to riches and fame. He eventually became the king of Tiktok, the most followed person there.

You see how it happens? He became rich by coincidence. He didn't try to force it. If he never lost his job, he couldn't have become rich.

There are two ways to become rich. You can either take action or just wait for coincidence, but you just have to weigh the risks. I've seen people fail at many things before they actually discovered what they're good at and succeeded with that thing.

So in my opinion, unless you've found something you're really good at organising passionate about, don't bother yourself trying so hard taking action to be rich. In fact, just allow the time to waste 🤔

I'm not really sure, what is your opinion about this? After writing all this it now feels wrong. Idk, take action but be careful? 🤔👍🏼

Apart from finding rich people, you need to keep a circle of rich people around you.

I'm not saying that you should leave those people or friends that are not really doing well. You can still spend time with them. You can discuss about your situation and how things are.

But you can't be complaining everytime about your situation. Once in a while you need to spend time with those people that are doing well. Don't joke with your circle.

Surround yourself with those people that are doing well. As I said before, those people are mostly found online.

When you surround yourself with these people, learn from them. Learn what they know and what they do.

If one of those mentors stresses you, leave them and find another one.

This one you found now stresses you, leave that one and find another and add to it but don't abandon the first ones, they can still help.

That's what I did. I even added another one recently because the other two were stressing me a little. Don't joke with your circle 👍🏼.

If you decide to learn from people first before you start, it will save you a lot of stress and failures.

Geh Geh once said "The reason you are not rich is because you don't know any rich people". Those rich people know a lot of things that other people don't know.

They have access to lots of information that other people don't have access too. That's why they know how to make money and build wealth.

If you want to become rich you need to find rich people and learn from them. You need mentors.

Finding them is not easy. You rarely see them around you. It's mostly online, on the internet that you'll find them

If you don't know people to learn from, don't worry. Just ask me. In fact, I'll start posting those people here and where to find them so that you can learn from them too 👍🏼🤔.

When this year started I had so much expectations. I wanted everything to be okay, I didn't want anything to go wrong. I tried so hard within my power to make sure everything went well.

But the problem was I didn't take it easy. I was always in a state of panic so it made me to take horrible actions.

Many things just went wrong. The year went so different than I had planned it. All the things I feared that wouldn't happen happened, plus extra.

Despite all my panicking, fear and anxiety everything still went wrong. So I asked myself what was the point of panicking so much? After a while I didn't panic again, I became calm.

My brian just reset. Maybe other circumstances also added to the calmness. I didn't worry so much again. I felt numb. I'm not afraid any more.

Maybe it's bad that I got rid of those feelings but the positive side is far greater. Now that I'm calm, I can take better actions. I can accomplish a lot with a calmer mind.

That's how life is. Despite how difficult things can be, just try and be calm. Stop trying so hard to change things you can't change.

Don't be too focused on results. Focus on the action and leave the rest for God. Just pray.

I always acted out of panic some years ago, even last year. It led to horrible results and I didn't learn. I still did the same thing this year. Now I've learnt.

Despite everything that happened I'm still grateful. I thank God. In fact, it turns out those bad things happened to be a learning experience. 🤔

So no matter how things get, try to be calm. If you've found a way to accomplish things while panicking, congratulations. But a calmer mind and steady actions always wins. 🙇🏼👍🏼

And it's not as if my situation is that bad. It's okay. It depends on your situation. I don't really know. If you have an opinion you can comment below 👇🏼.

Things can get really hectic. It helps to cool my head down. Just pour water on my head.

I used to be too addicted to it in the past. But these days I use a minimalistic approach. I spend less time on it. I just come online, check something and go offline.

It really makes my work easier, especially when I'm doing the hard stuff. The dopamine of social media is working for me instead of against me like before. 🤔👍🏼

I'm not saying I know everything. I am also learning. I just want to show others what I'm learning so that if we both learn, we grow at the same time 👍🏼

You can also share your thoughts in this group. If you've learnt something new or you know something concerning personal development, you can share it here let's discuss 👍🏼
