You also realize that in the end, even your family and friends will leave you, only the God remains with you. #moneyupacademy #MoneyUpAcademy

*Dear self*
*Your pain is real, and it's okay to feel it. Healing takes time, and it's a journey. Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can. Allow yourself to heal, to grow, and to rise again.*

Love is a complex and multifaceted concept, encompassing a wide range of feelings and behaviors. A "best" definition is subjective and depends on the context, but generally, it's understood as a strong affection or deep attachment to another person, coupled with care, compassion, and a desire for their well-being... This is how much I love my profession

Calvary Greetings Brock Lesnar,

I am appalled but not surprised that rather than apologise and act Christlike, you went to your congregation and lied.

A random content creator, didn’t shout on you, didn’t call your name, he was just on his own making videos of EXPENSIVE CARS in Lagos.

You could have continued driving, but NO
You stopped, it was not enough
You wind down, it was not enough
You pointed a WEAPON and spoke aggressively (even if it’s a stick and not a gun)
WHAT WAS THE REASON?

If it was at night, I’d have said possibly as the Brock Lesnar that you are, you felt threatened
But on broad daylight, the boy was not aggressive, was not shouting, did not even expect you to stop, he was just being excited and filming nice cars in Lagos.

And you stopped like a street tout and pointed a weapon. Is that a Jesus behaviour? Ehn Brock Lesnar?
Even the way you spoke was Distasteful.

Even Jesus was approached by killers and he didn’t point a weapon at them.

Did Jesus ride on expensive horses?
Did Jesus act like a street tout?

You have a severe traffic aggression and you have to work on it. The other day you punched and injured a bus driver for overtaking your vehicle, today you’re pointing a weapon “even if it’s a stick”, I am sure by tomorrow, you would anoint someone’s head with a car-jack.

I pray Jesus visits those that attended your wrestling ring this Sunday so they can develop actual brains, and stop being pawns to institutionalised religious slavery.

Best regards to you Brock Lesnar, may the Lord continue to strengthen your uppercut and provide helmets for your enemies.

Yours in holy combat,
Serah.

Ghana Cedi is the best-performing currency in the world. The Cedi is up by 50%. It took the new president just 5 months to make it happen.

Carter Efe: "You buy things for Jarvis but complain about sending your mum money. You've not even sent her up to 10M. Sandra isn't telling you the truth. I'm 23 and I hustle for my mum, my wife, and my child. I'm just the third born in my family, and I do my best to make sure my family members are at least, comfortable and I have never come out to complain about it because I see it as a responsibility.

Peller: "You're just saying all this things because you want to trend, you know that once bloggers see my face on your livestream they'll carry it. You want to use me and trend. When you were my age how many people were you sending money?"

This conversation between Peller and Carterefe has stirred mixed reactions online, As many believe Carter Efe may be trying to give Peller an advice that will help him in future, but it appears Peller doesn't get it, because he's "blinded by love".

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is keep growing quietly.
No noise. No competition. Just progress.

An eagle once taught a woman how to raise a child.

— Are you alright, human mother? — the eagle asked.

The woman looked at her, startled.

— I’m afraid. My baby is about to be born, and I have so many doubts. I want to give them the best, a beautiful, easy life… but how will I know if I’m raising them right?

The eagle perched nearby and replied:

— Raising a child isn’t about keeping them comfortable. It’s the opposite. When my eaglets are born, I line the nest with soft feathers and grass. It’s warm, safe. But when the time comes for them to grow, I remove it all. I leave only the thorns.

The woman frowned.

— Thorns? Isn’t that cruel?

The eagle looked her in the eyes.

— Discomfort pushes them to move. The thorns make them want more — to fly, to find their place. Comfort teaches nothing.

The woman hesitated, still uncertain.

— And if they fall?

The eagle nodded.

— They do fall. I throw them into the wind. They drop. I catch them. I throw them again. Over and over — until they learn to fly. And then? I let them go. I don’t help anymore.

The woman’s eyes widened.

— But what if they’re not ready?

— They won’t be, until they try. If I keep them safe forever, they’ll never learn. It’s not about letting them suffer. It’s about letting them grow. Even when it hurts you.

The woman placed her hand on her belly, breathed deeply, and smiled.

— Thank you, Mother Eagle, she whispered. Your wisdom is a gift.

She walked away — ready to be the mother her child would need: not perfect, but strong. A mother who teaches them to fly.

If you want your child to soar high — don’t clip their wings with comfort.
Let them feel the wind.
Let them stumble.
Let them rise.

True love isn’t sheltering them from life.
It’s teaching them how to live it.
Even if that means watching them fall… so they can learn to fly.

The person who you are is the best of yourself

𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 (𝟖) 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐆𝐆:

We have so many things in life that we can handle with strong hands & they can withstand pressure and force. There are things that are so fragile in nature & anyone who wants to handle them must do so with every carefulness and tenderness. I saw a truck loaded with cartons of Noddles. Two guys were asked to move the cartons of noddles from the truck into a shop. You need to see the throwing and catching prowess of this two guys. One was in the truck throwing the cartons to the one at the entrance of the shop and he was throwing it into the shop. The one in the truck can throw about 3 cartons at a go and the one in the shop will catch it so well. They can do it like that because the noodles in the cartons are not fragile.

They can't handle crates of egg like that when loading from a truck into a shop. It takes extra carefulness and tenderness, if I not ,it will break and that will amount to huge debt and wastages.

Friends, there are things we also must carry and handle with extra- carefulness because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back together and once some of these things get broken, they can lead to huge damage and destiny wastage.
Let me mention 8 of those things you must carry /handle with carefulness as if you are carrying a crate of eggs.

1. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Your name is very important and fragile. There are names that stink in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names spoilt the names. The way to handle your name with carefulness is to be careful of your doings. Your actions can rubbish your name. A good name can open doors for you & for your children and generations after you. The Bible says ' A good name is better than precious ointment...' ( Ecclesiastes 7:1). When your name is mentioned anywhere, like in your office, at home, church, on social media like Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc. What comes to people's minds? Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset. Read one of the quotes written by Shakespeare. 'Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed'.

2: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓: Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded and bitter today. One of the factors responsible for this is because many of this heart owners were careless with their hearts. You can guard your heart from being broken and bitter. Run away from people, and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your heart like a crate of eggs. You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully whole!

3. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐅𝐄 : When you put too much pressure on your wife, you will 'break' her. ' Likewise ye husbands, dwell with your wife according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel...' ( I Peter 3:7)
Handle your wife with carefulness and tenderness. Let tenderness flow in your manliness. Don't be wicked to your wife. Carry her like a Queen. She's stron, powerful and wise, yet, she needs to be protected, cared for and handle like a crate of eggs. Treat her like that.

4: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄: Your purpose is your destiny. If you don't handle it with utmost carefulness, it can slip off your hands and gaze and get broken. So many things can come like pressure on this 'crate of egg of purpose'. Discouragement, lack of fund, delayed Breakthrough, etc. These are things that may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don't allow it! Carry it with care. Carry your purpose away from people and things that may want to put pressure on it and break it.

5: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇: You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you throughout your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with carefulness. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can really run the vision like you!

Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless. Don't kill yourself before your time. Do your best to stay alive. We still need you here. Don't use your fork and your spoon to dig your grave. Watch what you eat. Always pray for divine immunization against sickness and diseases.

6. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄.: So many people handle their marriage like a carton of noddles. Let me remind you sir/ma. Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of egg. It must not break! A broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage breaks, many things get broken with it. Husband and wife, please, carry your marriage like an egg. It must not break!

7: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒. : Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words. Once broken, you can't gather it up again. Many people are careless with their words. They speak violently. They make empty promises and break it. Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful with it.

8: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘: Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on earth without thinking of their eternity are not wise! Hear what the Bible says ' Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, they would have considered their latter end! ( Duet 32:29). Friends, the matter of eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you will spend eternity. You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity. Take the matter of your end very serious. Stop living carelessly as if you have extra life. Think about eternity. Don't live for the pleasure of this present moment alone. If you miss heaven, you will cry!

I believe someone here is blessed with this. You can share it to bless others. (don't plagiarize it )

Thanks for reading.
