Helping people is good, but when it becomes frequent, that's dependency right there and it can form codependency patterns. Help people but much more:

Empower people to help themselves, that helps them evolve and break patterns and they can stand apart.
This could look like,
Getting them a job instead of sending them money always
It could be teaching them or paying for them to learn a trade
It could be supporting them to start their own business until it picks speed
It could be cutting off hand downs and teaching them to create
It could be telling the truth to them in love about their flaws
It could be paying for therapy or counseling sessions for them, to help them gain clarity, work out healthy coping skills and strategies to deal to everyday life's stresses and challenges etc ...

How have you empowered someone to help themselves?

Keep unveiling your uniqueness because it is within you that BLISS is found. I love you

During a robbery in Zimbabwe, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."

The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very ******. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!

So who are the real robbers here?

If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.

Skip breakfast and own your day from 11am upward.

Your body thrives when you wait.

No food.
No distractions.
Then see energy sustained.

Whether going to the office or job site—it doesn’t matter.

Morning meals are a myth.

Eat later. Perform better.

The Story of Saturdays

Once upon a time, in the heart of a busy little town, lived a boy named Theo who believed Saturdays were magic.

To everyone else, Saturday was just a day off. But for Theo, Saturdays were treasure chests of possibility. Every Saturday morning, he'd wake before the sun, pull on his favorite red hoodie, and tiptoe past his still-sleeping parents.

His adventures changed every week—some days he’d ride his bike to the farthest hill and pretend it was a mountain summit. Other Saturdays, he'd sit by the old oak tree with his sketchbook, drawing fantastical creatures no one had ever seen. Once, he even built a tiny city out of pebbles and twigs behind the library and named it "Theopolis."

The townsfolk often saw Theo running with the wind or staring at clouds like they were ancient maps. They'd chuckle and say, “There goes Saturday’s child.”

Years passed, and Theo grew up. He went to college, then to a job in a tall glass building, where days blurred into one another. But every Saturday, no matter what, he’d wake early, pull out his red hoodie—now a little worn—and let the magic begin again.

For Theo knew what few remembered:
Saturdays are not just breaks from the week. They're invitations to dream.

THE COCKROACH's CHOICE

Three hungry cockroaches came to a farmer and asked him for food. He willingly offered them some bread and some cheese. They ate to satisfaction and saved food to take home to their families.

Upon leaving, the farmer told them,
"Listen roaches, instead of begging for food as you always do, why don't I offer you a job in my farm? We offer good pay, food, and protection for your families."

The cockroaches asked,
"What work do we have to do, and how much salary do we get?"

The farmer answered,
"There are four positions available in my farm, with each having a different pay. It's up to you to choose which of them you prefer! The worker whose job is to inform my chickens that food is ready gets paid $3,000 every month. The worker whose job is to peel and slice my garlic gets $5,000 monthly. The worker whose job is to chase pesky lizards out of the farm gets $4,000 every month. And lastly, the worker whose job is to sing and dance for my goats gets only $250 monthly. You can make your choice now!"

The first cockroach exclaimed,
"I choose the $5,000 job! I want to peel and slice your garlic!"

The second cockroach chorused,
"I want the $4,000 job! Let me chase the pesky lizards out of the farm!

The third cockroach thought for a long moment, then said surprisingly,
"I would prefer the $250 job! I want to sing and dance for your goats!"

For a moment, the two other cockroaches glared at her and thought she was very dumb.
"How could she have chosen the lowest paying job in the farm? Is she that silly and unreasonable?" they thought within themselves.

The following morning, the three cockroaches arrived for their first day of work. However, as they began their duties, the first and the second cockroaches died all of a sudden.

The curious farmer then called the third cockroach and asked,
"Tell me, why did you choose the lowest paying job?"

She took a deep breath and answered,
"Firstly, chickens favourite food is cockroaches- why would I choose a job where I have to go close to chickens? Secondly, the pungent smell of garlic can quickly kill a cockroach- why would I choose a job where I have to peel and slice garlic? Thirdly, lizards love to snack and prey on cockroaches- why would I choose a job where I have to chase lizards out of the farm? It's not about the money at all, it's about putting my life into consideration."

LESSON TO LEARN:
Be careful of the deals you accept from people. Don't jump into every offer made to you. Don't be so blinded by money and material things that you refuse to pause and carefully consider the ramifications before taking a decision. Be wise!

*REASONS WHY YOU'RE ALWAYS BROKE EVEN THOUGH YOU WORK HARD*




(Hard work alone no be enough. You need sense, strategy, and discipline to win.)

You wake up early every morning, hustle till your body complain, but at the end of the month, your bank balance still looks like an empty pocket thief struck. You ask yourself, “Why are rich like those guys?”

I get news for you:your habits and mindset does not sabotage your grind. Village people are not your problem, your own lifestyle is.

1. YOU WORK HARD, BUT YOU DON’T WORK SMART
You hustle physically, you run errands, you do odd jobs, but you never think about how to multiply that hustle. You run like rat with no cheese.

Meanwhile, other guys are using their brains to invest small small, learn skills, start side hustles, build passive income.

Working hard is good. But working smart is the key to escape a poverty trap.

What to do: Learn skills that pay well. Invest in knowledge, not just sweat.

2. YOUR MONEY HAS NO PLAN, NO TRACKING
When salary enter, you just spend anyhowly—no budget, no savings, no investment.

This is why every month, you are broke before payday.

What to do: Budget your money like a CEO. Know where every coin will go.

3. YOU CARRY TOO MANY PEOPLE ON YOUR BACK
Your salary is not just for you — it’s for mama, uncle, cousin, friend, street people... you are playing6 Minister of Finance for everybody.

But no one does the same for you.

Reality: You can’t build wealth carrying 10 people. You must build yourself first.

What to do: Help when you fit, but put your future first.

4. YOU’RE ADDICTED TO SPENDING, NOT INVESTING
You spend on luxury, new gadgets, slay queen maintenance, designer labels… but when time to invest come, you suddenly “have no money again.”

This lifestyle is a silent killer. You build others’ businesses, not yours.

What to do: Switch your mindset from consume to invest. Use money to grow assets.6

5. YOU LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK WITH NO EMERGENCY FUND
Every little emergency crashes your finances—no backup, no plan B.

So when things go wrong, you borrow, borrow, borrow until you fall into debt trap.

What to do: Save at least 3 months salary as emergency fund. Build cushion.

6. YOU FAIL TO MULTIPLY YOUR INCOME SOURCES
Relying on one salary? That’s like sitting on one leg and expecting to run marathon.

True wealth comes from multiple income streams—business, investments, side hustles.

What to do: Start small side hustles. Learn to create money streams outside salary.

7. YOU WAIT FOR MIRACLE WHILE DOING NOTHING
You pray and wait for miracle money. But no action follows.

Prayers without hustle and procrastination with spiritual flavour.

What to do: Pray with your legs and hands. Action is the partner of blessing.

FINAL TRUTH:

Hard work is important, but without planning, discipline, and smart decisions, you will remain broke.

Village people are not the cause of your poverty; your habits and choices are.

If you want to escape the poverty cycle:

Hustle smart, not just hard.

Budget and track your money.

Cut unnecessary spending.

Build emergency funds.

Multiply your income sources.

Stop carrying unnecessary financial burdens.

Pair prayer with action.

If this post hit you hard, don’t just scroll. Change your mindset, change your life.
