1. Value Every Moment: Remember, a single minute lost to procrastination can erase the progress of a month's hard work and discipline. Stay focused and make every moment count. 2. Wealth's Silent Power: True wealth isn't about flaunting riches; it's about multiplying them. Rich individuals understand that real success comes from wisely investing their resources, making each dollar work for them. 3. The Dream of Passive Income: Imagine the ultimate flex: earning money while you sleep. It's the dream of financial independence that drives many to seek passive income streams, where your money does the heavy lifting. 4. Quiet Victories Speak Loudest: Winning isn't always about showing off. Sometimes, the most meaningful victories happen in private, away from the spotlight. Not everyone needs to witness your journey; focus on your own growth. 5. Choose Your Circle Wisely: Surround yourself with like-minded friends who inspire and push you to be your best. The company
The bad and good..
When you go through life, you come across several things, several experiences, see what others go through and compare with what you go through.
Today , I feel like sharing about Boat Sinking Experiences.
There are people who come into your life, and all of a sudden - changes are seen. Either positive or negative.
There are people you start a relationship with ( either romantically, businesswise , sportswise etc, ), and ghafla bin vu, your matters get into stormy waters. Your business collapses, your salary starts seeing delays, your car crashes.
There are some that you get into relationship with, and ghafla bin vu, blessings follow you. You get breakthroughs and unlimited open doors.
In the Bible, we have two kinds of examples of people walking into boats and in one case the the boat sinks, and in the other - it gets blessings.
In Jonah 1 :
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep"......
Jonah entered a ship and within minutes, the ship was sinking. These guys threw stuff off the ship and went through serious loses - until they had to cast Jonah out. That's when the loses stopped.
In another case, in Luke 5: "3 And He entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
The boat started sinking due to too much blessing....
In 2012 - A friend of mine running one of the most successful Money Market Security Companies brought in a new Director. The guy was a former employee of a Bank with West African roots, but operating in Kenya. It was suspected that the guy had engineered an illegal deal that saw the bank lose about 300 million - and as you know in Kenya, proving some of these cases is hard.
Within months of the new Director coming in, the company entered into stormy waters, and within two years, it was shut down by the regulator.
Another buddy of mine was doing very well in car selling business. Then as it happens with some men - he saw a very beautiful girl, and seduced her...... problem is, the girl was someone's wife. Since he was moneyed, he took the girl from the poor husband. Ghafla bin vu, Kanjo came and demolished his yard, he could not get another site, and his business collapsed.
There are several cases I'm sure you can relate to.
Point is this, we have to be careful about who you allow into your life.
Are you taking someone's husband or wife - leading to sorrow? Are you stealing someone's business idea, land or car? Are you collapsing another persons business deliberately, so that you gain?
Such things bring boat sinking.
Today, as you go through your personal experiences, ask God to lead you to the right path, to people that will give you blessings that sink your business, life or marriage so that you ask for help in consuming the blessings. Not those that collapse you.
Ask God to lead you into repentance if you took a wrong turn, and ask Him to restore you to the right path.
Always do background checks before committing to anything or anyone. Never rush, never make emotional decisions...... But prayerfully ask, and physically do your background checks.
May the God protect you from bad boat sinkers, and may He guide you to good boat sinkers- that will make you call others to help you contain the blessings.
