Isn't it funny how; Hard times build strong men Strong men create good times Good times create weak men And weak men create hard times...?

Steadfastness is underrated. It’s not loud. It’s not viral. But it’s what builds legacy. You don’t need to be the fastest. Just don’t stop. You’ll get there— Brick by brick. Day by day.

When the hype is gone and the noise dies down— will you still show up? That’s the real flex. The silent wins. The quiet grind.

Discipline will get tested. Emotions will rise. Motivation will fade. But your consistency must speak louder than your feelings.

Being steadfast doesn’t mean being rigid. It means being rooted. You may bend with the wind, but you don't let it break your direction.

Life will throw curveballs. Plans will shift. People will change. But your commitment to your why must stay grounded. That’s what it means to remain steadfast.

Morgan Housel calls luck and risk the “real but invisible” forces that shape our stories. They distort success and failure—and most times, we don’t even notice. So when you’re analyzing outcomes, avoid black-and-white thinking It’s not always cause and effect. Sometimes, it’s randomness.

The next time life surprises you, ask: “Was that skill… or just the flip of a coin?” Luck exists. Risk exists. Play the long game anyway.

The takeaway? - Stay humble in success - Stay grounded in failure - Learn the lesson, not just the result - Judge less. Understand more. Because everyone is playing a game you can’t fully see.

In life (and money), not everything is in your control. You can do everything “right” and still lose. You can do everything “wrong” and still win.

Two people take the same risk. One wins, one loses. It’s not always about being smarter. Sometimes it’s just: luck vs risk.

What’s a recent thought that lowkey shifted your whole perspective? Here’s mine (especially when I catch myself feeling ungrateful or entitled): For every good thing happening in my life, someone out there is going through the complete opposite. Keeps me grounded every time.

It was raining all through the night and it inspired me to cook up something short this morning. I hope you like it. The sky lets go in long held sighs, Soft tears that fall from heavy skies. Each drop a note in nature’s song, A rhythm we've known for too long. It taps on roofs, it taps on skin, A quiet cleanse from deep within. Washing streets and clouded minds, Leaving softer thoughts behind.

Woke up and realized I clocked like 6+ hours of sleep 😴 Not the best, but we move. Today— We chase purpose over vibes. Let’s get it!!

Life doesn’t need to be perfect before you act. Take charge—right where you are, with what you have. That’s where growth begins.

Excuses feel good at the moment. Progress feels better in the long run. Choose your reward.

You can blame your past all you want... But it won’t build your future. At some point, you’ve got to switch from “why me?” to “what now?”

Taking responsibility doesn’t mean you caused every problem. It means you’re choosing to be the solution. That’s power.

The harsh truth? Nobody's coming to fix your life. Not your parents. Not your friends. Not some "perfect moment. It’s on you. Own it.

Honestly it's really annoying to work on a project for months only to get a meager pay. Wasted resources 🤧😒
