Over the years, humanity has been putting themselves in problems for wanting to appear differently to who they really are.

We all want to have some dignity, and we end up hurting ourselves than helping ourselves.

We want the whole world to see that we are comfortable when we are struggling. We want to appear rich when we are in abject poverty.

Well, their is nothing bad in using denial as a psychological means of getting over an unpleasant situation. But not to the extent of lying to ourselves

The poor keep buying expensive items to appear rich, while the real rich people are still living a low key life. Hmmm

Robert Kiosaki said in one of his quotes that the poor buy the luxuries first, while the rich think of investment first.

This quote is not just ordinary, it helps in differentiating the real differences between the rich and the poor.

When you invest your resources before you spend them, you will always have more to invest and to spend, but if you spend before you invest, you will always have little to invest and to spend

I love one of my very old quotes, let me share it to prove a point

If you save money, you would be broke, if you spend money, you would be broke. While not save money and be broke.

See, nobody is interested in you impressing them. In fact, the world is too busy to notice that, you do yourself a lot of harm while trying to impress people

While would you go for a flat when your income can only get you a self-contain?

While would you buy a car, when all you can maintain is a bike?

While would you go for Range Rover when all you can maintain is camery?

While would you do things to impress others, when the real you is not happy inside of you

It is always good to aim better, to want better and to think better, but all the same, you are the only one who know who you are

Because your younger brother just built a secondary school does not mean you should start building a university when you know you cannot avoid it

Stop killing yourself, stop carrying those unnecessary burdens all around, decide to free yourself today.

Trying to impress people with stuff like that is like standing before mirror which can only interpret your appearance and not the real you.

for mirror is a liar, when you appear before it smiling, it would tell you you are happy, when you appear before with with your face frown, it would tell you you are sad. But your true picture can be seen in your heat.

People might tell you what you are not based on your appearance, but your heart would always reveal the real you that is in you to you if you try to seek your heart

Why all the debt in the world?

Their is a popular say that say you should cut your coat according to your size, but I say, cut your coat according to your cloth size.
If your cloth is not enough to make you a flowing gown, I'm sure it would be enough to make you a short

Don't allow what you see to push you, don't go for things you know you cannot maintain.

A lot of people are already in mess, for trying to be someone else

It is not too late to turn a new leaf, desire to change for a better today. Let the whole world begin to see the real you, we all want to enjoy your unique originality. Stop faking it.

Thank you for reading through, I do hope you get some help from it.

I'm taking out time to celebrate my brother @emmakkayluv who celebrated his day yesterday, you can visit his blog to show him some love... Happy birthday once more bro

Yeah, you are right. I keep wondering why people love to live the standard they are not up to. The fact that Mr A bought a car doesn't mean Mr B must ditch out his entire savings to be like Mr A. We have our different lifestyle.

One thing I have noticed is that the reasoning of the rich is very different from the poor. The rich are always aiming to invest first while the poor are always eager to wear flashy stuffs immediate they get little money.

I have always tell people that we all have to stay real.

Hmmm, this is so inspiring. We will do ourselves a lot of good if we can all abide by this simple rule.
Glad to have you here

Wow! We must cut our cloth according to our sizes. Thanks man, am inspired!👏💖

Cutting your cloth according to your size is no longer correct, you have to cut it according to the size of the cloth... Smile
Glad to have you here.

Exactly, now I've learnt a new one. Thanks boss.👏😘💖

Wow, so inspiring. I love this piece. We can't save ourselves from a lots of problems if we can just abide by this piece

Thanks bro, I so much respect your intelligent

You are most welcome
