*Encouragement Paragraph:*
True leadership is not about titles or positions — it’s about action, impact, and character. Whether you lead a team, a family, a community, or just yourself, be the kind of leader who leads by example. People follow what they see, not what they hear. So rise, lead with love, strength, and integrity. The world needs more of such leadership.

Self reliance is of utmost importance to a blessed person.If there's to be peace there must be strength;if there's to be security there must be stability.

Fertility isn’t luck— it’s chemistry, clarity, and nourishment.

Amad, Heaven, De Ligt - Man Utd Injury News and Return Dates Before Bournemouth and Athletic Bilbao

Manchester United are navigating a crucial phase in their season as they prepare for vital fixtures against Bournemouth and Athletic Bilbao, with several players recovering from injury setbacks. Here’s the latest injury update from Manchester Evening News as manager Ruben Amorim evaluates his squad.

De Ligt suffered an ankle injury in the match against Nottingham Forest. Although he stayed on the pitch until halftime, he hasn't played since. Amorim recently stated that while de Ligt is expected back before the season ends, a concrete return date remains undecided.

Ayden Heaven – Minor Injury

Heaven returned to the squad against Newcastle after missing three games, but a minor knock in training has kept him out of recent selections. The injury, caused by contact, is under review, and Amorim has not specified a return timeline.

Lisandro Martinez – Long-Term ACL Injury

Martinez remains sidelined due to a torn ACL suffered in February against Crystal Palace. He has undergone surgery and will miss the rest of the season. With a typical recovery period of six months, he is not expected back until August.

Toby Collyer – Leg Problem

Collyer is dealing with a leg injury. Although no official return date has been provided, Amorim assured supporters that the issue is not serious, and he could be available in the coming weeks.

Amad – Ankle Recovery

Amad was initially set to miss the remainder of the season after injuring his ankle. However, recent updates have shown signs of a possible return before the season wraps up. Amorim is hopeful he’ll be fit by May, and Amad himself has shared promising recovery updates on social media.

Joshua Zirkzee – Season-Ending Hamstring Injury


Zirkzee picked up a hamstring injury in the Newcastle game and has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Despite walking off unaided, the injury is serious enough to sideline him. He is now focused on returning in time for the next pre-season.

With key games approaching, including the showdown with Athletic Bilbao, United will be hoping for timely returns from key players like Amad and de Ligt to strengthen their push at the business end of the season.

In ancient Mesoamerica, xocolatl—a bitter drink made from ground cacao, water, and spices—was so prized it served as currency. Aztec warriors and nobles drank it in ceremonies, with Emperor Montezuma II valuing it for strength. When the Spanish arrived in 1521, they sweetened it with sugar and spices, paving the way for modern chocolate. Aztec women traditionally ground cacao on stone metates, mixing in vanilla, chili, and annatto. More than an energy boost, xocolatl was a sacred ritual in a deeply spiritual society.

Tonto Dikeh says raising boys right starts with love, softness, and showing them how to care—not just telling them. Teach them early so they grow into men who heal, not harm.” — Tonto Dikeh

I’m raising my son to be kind and gentle.
He learns to cook, clean, care, and listen.
These are not just for girls.
A good man should know how to take care of others too.

I teach him to speak calmly, to never raise his hand in anger, and to always respect women.
When I’m not feeling well, he holds my hand, brings me water, and covers me with a blanket.
My little king in the making.
These are the habits I’m planting in him.
That’s how real men are made.

AFTER LEAVING HIS WIFE PENNILESS, HE MET HER YEARS LATER—AND COULDN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES

Arthur had always prided himself on being the master of his own destiny. Even during his college years, he commanded attention with his sharp business instincts. While his classmates buried themselves in books, Arthur was already immersed in entrepreneurial ventures—flipping cars one week, assembling custom computers the next.

It was during this phase of his life that he met Michelle. Unlike Arthur’s flashy and superficial girlfriends, Michelle was a quiet, hardworking student majoring in foreign languages. Her modesty set her apart, and to Arthur, she was intriguing in a way he hadn’t expected.

He pursued her with charm and persistence. Michelle, dazzled by the attention of the campus’s most popular guy, quickly fell for him.

“You’re so beautiful,” Arthur would say, dismissing her studies with a wave of his hand. “Why waste your time in school? Marry me, and I’ll take care of everything.”

Michelle hesitated. “I want to work as a translator,” she said shyly. “I want to connect with people from all over the world.”

Arthur laughed. “You can practice your languages with my business partners.”

Eventually, she gave in. They married, and life seemed full of promise. Money was never a problem, and soon their first child, Dimka, was born. Michelle embraced motherhood wholeheartedly. When their daughter, Lenochka, arrived a few years later, her days became consumed with caring for two young children.

Michelle once considered hiring a nanny to balance work and parenting, but Arthur shut the idea down. “Kids need their mother,” he insisted.

While Michelle poured herself into raising their family, Arthur threw himself into his business—or so he claimed. He always seemed to have funds for luxury items like a new car or a state-of-the-art TV. Yet when Michelle asked for something as small as a new hairdryer, he’d scoff and say, “The old one works just fine.”

Years passed, and the children grew older. Michelle began to feel an aching loneliness. Arthur’s time at home dwindled, and when he was there, his phone never left his hand. Any suggestion of a date night or family outing was met with a firm “I’m too busy.” Somehow, though, he always found time for his friends.

Then, one day, Arthur dropped a bombshell.

“We need to split up,” he said bluntly. “I’m tired of this family routine. I have my own life to live, and I need my freedom.”

Michelle was stunned. “Split up? What do you mean? What about the kids? What about us?”

“You’re a mother. You’ll figure it out,” Arthur said with a shrug. That same evening, he packed his belongings and left without looking back.

At least he left her the house—but not a single penny to her name.

Michelle’s once-comfortable life fell apart in an instant. Desperate to provide for her children, she scoured the city for work, often leaving Dimma and Lessie with a kind neighbor. Eventually, she landed a job as a cleaner at a shopping mall, but it wasn’t enough. She started working night shifts to make ends meet, and the exhaustion quickly took its toll.

Just when it seemed things couldn’t get any worse, tragedy struck. Michelle received a devastating call from her mother about her beloved grandfather. Overwhelmed by grief, she summoned every ounce of strength to carry on.

When she visited the notary’s office to settle her grandfather’s affairs, she received the surprise of her life. It turned out her grandfather had been quietly investing in company shares for years. He left his entire fortune to Michelle.

Determined to rebuild her life, Michelle used the inheritance wisely. She took professional development courses to re-enter her field and invested part of the money in a small neighborhood café. The café thrived and quickly became a local favorite.

One busy afternoon, Michelle was behind the counter when the chime of the doorbell signaled new guests. She looked up to greet them—and froze.

Standing in the doorway was Arthur, arm in arm with a striking young blonde.

“Good afternoon. What can I get for you?” Michelle asked, her voice calm and professional.

Arthur glanced up from the menu, doing a double take when he recognized her. “Michelle? Are you working here as a waitress?” he asked with thinly veiled smugness.

“Yes, I work here,” she replied evenly. “What would you like to order?”

Arthur smirked. “Two cappuccinos and some croissants. Well, well—how the tables have turned. I assumed you were still scrubbing floors. Guess this is an upgrade, huh?”

The blonde laughed, clearly enjoying the joke.

“Your order will be ready shortly,” Michelle said, turning toward the counter.

When she returned with their drinks and pastries, Arthur couldn’t resist another jab. “You seem to be doing okay. Maybe serving coffee really is your true calling.”

ENCOURAGEMENT

A better world doesn’t start with grand gestures—it begins with small decisions rooted in love and respect. The Bible teaches us that love “does not insist on its own way” (1 Corinthians 13:5). When we choose to consider others as well, we reflect the heart of Christ, who laid down His comfort for our sake. Thoughtfulness is godliness in action.
So let’s carry this truth daily: "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31)—and that includes how we treat one another.

When I got married, I was so emotional about everything. I consistently look at other people's marriage and I want that replicated in my own. Little did I know that all those things are just for the public to see, but what goes on within is more than terrible.

Dear young couples, don’t compare your marriage to others. Seriously, it’s so easy to look at someone else’s relationship on social media or even in your circle and think, “Wow, they have it all together.” But the truth is, you’re only seeing the highlight reel. Every marriage has its behind-the-scenes moments, real, raw, and sometimes messy.

Your journey is unique. Nurture your own connection. Focus on your growth, your love, your rhythm. Comparison will rob you of joy, but gratitude, that’s what strengthens the bond.

I am allowed to feel deeply, but I will not let pain define me.

I am worthy of love and support that comes without conditions.

My presence is powerful. My spirit is resilient. My journey is sacred.

Even when I'm misunderstood, I will not dim my light to fit in.

What I give to others, I also deserve—kindness, care, and grace.

I am not alone, even when the room feels empty. My strength is with me.

I choose to rise above the noise and reclaim my peace.

My tears are not weakness. They are healing. They are release.

I walk through fire and still carry the scent of hope.

No matter how many times I fall, I will always rise—stronger, wiser, braver.

A SIMP IS LIKE A WALKING DEAD

13 Hard Truths About Why Women Use Weak Men (And How You’re Letting It Happen)
Read this twice if you’ve ever been ghosted, played, or heartbroken by a girl you “treated like a queen.”

Let’s be real:

Simping doesn’t make you loyal. It makes you ******.

Women don’t respect the guy who bends over backward. They use him.
They collect his time, his money, his energy—and when they’re done, they vanish without saying thank you.

Let’s break it down:

1. She’ll Act Single in Public, But Collect ‘Girlfriend Benefits’ in Private

You’re paying her bills, driving her around, doing boyfriend duties…
Meanwhile, she’s posting thirst traps and replying “lol” to other men’s DMs.
You’re loyal to her. She’s loyal to attention.

2. She’ll Use Your Kindness as Leverage

You think being sweet makes her love you.
No sir—it makes her comfortable. She’ll keep you in her life because you’re useful, not because she’s attracted.
You're not her dream guy—you're her safety net.

3. She’ll Make You Compete With Other Men (And Call It “Being Honest”)

She’ll say, “I’m just talking to people, nothing serious…”
Yet she expects exclusivity from you.
You’re playing by boyfriend rules in a situationship built to drain you.

4. She’ll Withhold Sex to Control You

Once she knows you’re desperate to keep her, intimacy becomes a weapon.
She’ll give you crumbs and say, “I’m not in the mood,” while giving another guy the full buffet.
You’ll wait months… someone else is getting it tonight.

5. She’ll Say You’re Too Nice—Then Run to a Man Who Treats Her Like an Option

Truth bomb: Nice doesn’t attract. Strength does.
You’re emotionally available. He’s emotionally scarce.
Guess who she’s obsessed with? Not the one texting her good morning.

6. She’ll Use You for Free Therapy and Dump Her Emotional Luggage on You

She’ll vent. Cry. Trauma dump.
You’ll spend hours listening, thinking you’re building connection.
Then she’ll feel “better” and go back to chasing the guy who gives her butterflies and stress.

7. She’ll Leave You When You Finally Set Boundaries

You’ll say, “I don’t like that you go clubbing every weekend.”
She’ll call you insecure and controlling.
Bro, she was never going to change. She was waiting for an excuse to bounce.

8. She’ll Borrow Money and Never Pay Back
She’ll cry about rent.

You’ll send 30k. She’ll post her nails the next day.
You won’t ask for it back, because “you don’t want her to feel bad.”
Now she knows you’re a cash machine with emotions.

9. She’ll Publicly Humiliate You—Then Say You’re Too Sensitive

She’ll talk down on you in front of friends. Joke about your hustle. Compare you to her ex.
And when you react, she’ll say, “I was just playing.”
That’s not love. That’s disrespect wrapped in sarcasm.

10. She’ll Make You Feel Lucky to Have Her—Even Though She Brings Nothing to the Table

You’re the one planning dates, paying bills, calling, texting, doing everything.
What does she bring? Just her looks.
And you feel “lucky” to have her? Wake up.

11. She’ll Leave You Emotionally Drained—Then Say She’s the Victim

You gave her your heart, your loyalty, your peace.
She left you anxious, confused, and depressed.
Then she’ll cry on Instagram and call all men “toxic.”
The manipulation is spiritual.

12. She’ll Come Back When Her ‘Alpha’ Broke Her Heart

After getting played by the guy she really wanted, she’ll return with fake remorse.
“I miss you.” “You were the good one.”
She doesn’t love you. She loves your stability. And she’s only here till she heals enough to leave again.

13. She’ll Move on Fast—Because She Never Really Cared Like You Did

While you’re crying over her old texts, she’s laughing at brunch, collecting validation.
You gave your all to someone who gave you half. And the worst part? She doesn’t even feel guilty.

FINAL TRUTH:
You’re not unlucky with women.
You’re just addicted to being used because it feels like love.

The solution?
Stop being the man who chases. Be the man who builds.
The man who sets standards. The man who makes women EARN his time.
The man who knows his worth.

Women don’t respect simps. They respect structure.

Let her chase. Or let her go.
