I have a friend. A very good friend. We've been together for over 11 years.

We reconnected recently and he said he wanted to learn from me.

What I did? Gave him books.

Started with
Cashflow Quadrant; then Awaken The Giant Within; then, How to Sell Yourself.

He has read 5 books in less than a month.

And yesterday he went into my shelf and picked up 'Mastery' by @RobertGreene and hadn't dropped it.

He just called me and said: "Stan, I want to learn a skill. Push me in the direction of one."

I felt very happy.

He is the same person I told you about a few weeks ago, whom I asked to buy my guide and he made some money.

But the best thing I did for him wasn't helping him make a fee hundred thousand

No.

The best thing I did was helping him open his mind to the possibilities ahead of him

I will push him towards copywriting and public speaking.

He is very talented in writing words that prick the heart.

He is deeply emotional. And people always gravitate to him.

I pray that God will help him truly discover his strength and then hr will be unstoppable.

Sometimes what people need in their lives isn't money.

Don't get it wrong, money is important.

But what people need is a realization of the possibilities ahead of them.

The realization that they can be all they want to be, earn what they want to earn and live the life they

Want to live.

The realization that they can own their lives and live on their own terms.

If you are at the point where you don't know what to do, pause for a minute and stop following the crowd.

Pause for a minute and stop the rat race.

Go back, sit down and ask questions

of yourself.

Ignore the noise from the world.

Clear out your head.

Wipe out the expectations of people and realize the latent power in you.

The Bible says: "and God said, Let there be light, and there was light"

That us instructive.

He needed to create, but there was

darkness.

He couldn't create in darkness, so light had to be introduced first.

That light is illumination.

That light is insight.

That light is knowledge.

My people perish for lack of....

You know it.

It is said that if you want to hide a thing from the Blackman, put it

in a book.

That goes to show you how powerful knowledge is.

You need to love knowledge.

You need to seek knowledge.

Don't just seek knowledge because you will use it to make money.

Seek knowledge for what it will trans for you into.

If you develop a mindset of wealth,

money won't be difficult to attract.

And you develop this mindset by seeking and applying knowledge.

Even the very rich continue to read.

They continue to hunger for knowledge.

Innovation comes from knowledge. Knowledge sparks a hunger for a better life.

Knowledge oils the wheels of change.

Educate a man and you'll make it impossible to dominate him.

Take a step back and seek knowledge.

Desire to be a better person, develop the character and you will see your life improve.

We always come online to insult the opposite sex.

It is funny.

The opposite sex is always evil, but you are always the saint.

Men are scum and you are the saint.

Women are bitches and you are the saint.

No one ever comes online to talk about their mistakes.

But we are quick to scream the isolated mistake of one.

It shows a deep crack in the mind.

We need to begin to redefine our focus.

If you did the same thing last year and this year and got the same result, you can sing hallelujah from now till Dec 31, nothing will Change.

If your life must change, your methods must change.

It is because they consider us stupid, that Aisha Buhari and El Rufai would beg us to forgive an incompetent Governor who clearly did absolutely nothing but impoverish the people.

And guess what?

People will vote him.

Knowledge gap is wide.

Being able to speak English doesn't mean we are knowledgeable.

In fact, it puts us in a worse situation because we live in the illusion that because we speak well, we are sound, when in fact we are an embarrassment to our future self.

We can strive for better.

We can make do with what we have.

It's okay yo want to correct and change the world

But that change must begin with us

I am not perfect. I remind myself this everyday. And I owe it to myself to do something to improve my life. That way I touch others

I hope you find your heart's desire and above all, I hope you become a better person as you do.

Let's change the narrative and create a world our children will be proud.

You are valid.

Your dreams are valid.

Your life in 5 years is unbelievably glorious. Work it.
