Even as a woman, don’t underestimate how money can transform you.

When people say, beware of a poor man’s loyalty, it is not just about men, it also applies to women too.

Some ladies are loyal and reserved because they have not touched money.

You haven’t noticed how some women change once they start dating a financially secure man? The arrogance, pride and neglect towards those struggling financially?

No wonder we are often asked never to say never.

Some ladies criticize women buying hairs, phones, clothes, etc because they are yet to afford it or have someone to gift them.

Money change people, and untill you have achieved financial stability, it is challenging to truly know yourself.

I know this devout and godly lady, very reserved and Christlike.
However, after meeting a wealthy and generous guy, she embarked on a journey to torment poor men, she started displaying attitudes I never thought possible, visiting places I never imagined she would visit, and dressing in a way I couldn’t have envisioned.

This continued until their breakup, and reality set in.

I hope your criticism of certain lifestyles or luxuries is not rooted in your inability to afford them.
I hope the lifestyle you despise is not because it is above your budget?

As you pray for prosperity , ask for the grace to manage it, so that, the blessing of prosperity won’t lead you to dòom.

If money can overwhelm you, you’re not really a good person.

My work my pride

The phrase "Pride goeth before a fall" is a proverb that conveys a timeless truth about the consequences of hubris and arrogance. This expression, often attributed to the biblical book of Proverbs, specifically Proverbs 16:18, serves as a cautionary reminder that excessive pride often leads to one's downfall. The full verse in the King James Version states, "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." This succinctly encapsulates the idea that inflated self-esteem or an overestimation of one’s abilities can precipitate failure or calamity.

At its core, the proverb reflects a profound understanding of human nature and the potential pitfalls of pride. Pride, in this context, is not merely a sense of self-respect or confidence; rather, it denotes an overwhelming belief in one's superiority, often accompanied by disdain for others. This kind of pride blinds individuals to their limitations and the realities surrounding them. It fosters an environment where critical reflection and humility are displaced by a sense of invincibility.

Historically, many cultures have recognized the dangers of pride. In Greek mythology, the tale of Icarus serves as an illustrative example. Icarus, the son of Daedalus, flew too close to the sun with wings made of wax and feathers, despite his father’s warnings. His hubris and desire to soar higher than he should have ultimately led to his demise when the sun melted the wax, causing him to fall into the sea. This story underscores the idea that overstepping one’s bounds, motivated by pride, can lead to disastrous outcomes.

In literature, the theme of pride preceding a fall recurs frequently. Shakespeare’s characters often embody this lesson. For instance, in "Macbeth," the titular character’s ambition and pride lead him to commit heinous acts in pursuit of power. His initial success and rise to the throne are ultimately overshadowed by guilt, paranoia, and the inevitable downfall that follows. Similarly, in "Hamlet," the pride of King Claudius in his cunning and deceit leads to a chain of events that culminates in tragedy for nearly all characters involved.

The implications of this proverb extend beyond individual narratives and into broader social and political contexts. Leaders who exhibit pride and arrogance often make decisions that can lead to widespread consequences. History is replete with examples of leaders whose inflated sense of self-importance led to catastrophic failures, whether through misguided policies, neglect of counsel, or an unwillingness to acknowledge their limitations. The fall of empires, the collapse of businesses, and the failure of policies can often be traced back to the hubris of those in power.

In contemporary society, the dangers of pride manifest in various forms, particularly in the age of social media, where self-promotion can easily lead to a distorted self-image and inflated ego. The relentless pursuit of validation through likes and followers can foster an environment where individuals feel invulnerable, leading to risky behaviors and decisions. The public downfall of many social media influencers and celebrities often serves as a stark reminder of how pride can lead to a swift reversal of fortune.

Moreover, the personal ramifications of pride can affect relationships and community dynamics. Individuals who prioritize their own ego over collaboration and mutual respect often find themselves isolated. The inability to recognize the value of others can lead to missed opportunities for growth, learning, and connection. Pride can create barriers to effective communication, understanding, and empathy, ultimately resulting in relational fractures.

In conclusion, "Pride goeth before a fall" serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between self-confidence and overweening pride. It speaks to the fundamental human experience and the need for humility. Recognizing one's limitations, valuing the contributions of others, and maintaining a grounded perspective are essential in navigating both personal and collective journeys. By acknowledging the potential pitfalls of pride, individuals can strive for a more balanced existence, fostering resilience and wisdom in the face of life’s inevitable challenges. This profound wisdom, deeply rooted in history and literature, remains relevant today, urging us all to reflect on the role of pride in our lives and its capacity to shape our destinies.

"In some dispositions there is such an envious kind of pride that they cannot endure that any but themselves should be set forth as excellent; so that when they hear one justly praised they will either openly detract from his virtues; or, if those virtues be, like a clear and shining light, eminent and distinguished, so that he cannot be safely traduced by the tongue, they will then raise a suspicion against him by a mysterious silence, as if there were something remaining to be told which overclouded even his brightest glory."
—Feltham

Fall in love with someone who come back to talk to you after a fight, who value you, and understand that love is above pride.

YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE ANGELS
A pregnant woman asks her husband: "What are you expecting, a boy or a girl?" ”

The husband replies: "If it's a boy, I'll teach him math, we'll work out together, teach him how to fish, etc." ”

The woman, laughing, asks: "What if it's a girl?" ”

The husband smiles and says, "If it's a girl, I won't have to teach her anything." She will teach me everything: how to dress, how to eat, what to say and what not to say. Very soon, she'll become like a second mom to me, and even without doing anything special, she'll always consider me as her hero. She'll understand when I tell her no and she'll still compare her future husband to me. No matter how old she gets, she will always want me to treat her like my little princess. She'll fight for me against the world, and if anyone hurts me, she'll never forgive them. ”

The woman, a little intrigued, asks: "You mean your daughter would do all this, but not your son?" ”

The husband says, "No, no! My son could do this too, but he will have to learn as time goes on. On the other hand, girls are born with these innate qualities. Being a father of a girl is a real pride for every man. ”

Then the woman said, "But she won't be with us forever. ”

The husband, tenderly, replies, "Yes, but we will always be with her, in her heart, wherever she goes." ”

Girls are angels... They are born with unconditional love and caring, forever and ever.

Dedicated to all fathers who are lucky to have daughters.
