PEOPLE ARE ASSETS

Your future is connected to people.

You will always need people in your life.

A man with money but without people is not different from a poor man.

Never underestimate the importance of people. The truth is you cannot amount to anything in life without cultivating meaningful and healthy relationships.

Relationship is the engine of the vehicle of life. Life has been designed to revolve around relationships. Man has been created to be dependent and interdependent in one way or the other.

The devil also knows the power of right relationships; so he vehemently attacks relationships by sowing the seeds of discord, disagreement, and conflicts. One formidable weapon that the devil has used to destroy many relationships that could have been beneficial to people's lives and destinies is the weapon of offense.

Please, don't allow the poisons of doubt, suspicion, resentment, bitterness, anger, hatred, envy, and unforgiveness to separate you from the most valuable commodity on earth which is people.

The journey of life can sometimes be rough, hurting, frustrating, and discouraging, sometimes from the very people we trust most.

But there is room for forgiveness.

You may have been wronged, betrayed, let down, misunderstood, victimized and unjustly treated by people who are supposedly close to you. That does not mean there are no fine qualities in these very people who have "hurt you".

Bitterness can never make you a better person. Bitterness is a heavy burden to carry. Drop it because it retards progress and it is a hindrance to making Heaven.

I must admit that forgiveness is not fun. It takes effort and hard work, and sometimes it is very painful, but it is a necessary step to take towards going up in life.

Forgiveness restores relationships to the very people you were meant to bless or who are appointed to be a blessing to you.

It is far better to forgive and forget than to harbor grudges and hate.

Burn the bridge that takes you back and away from people. You will always need people even though you don't necessarily have to depend on them.

God has always used people for people most times.

If you keep staying away from all those who offend you, then you will either not have friends again or you will be surrounded by pretenders and sycophants which is not good for you.

I hope I just blessed someone reading this post.

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

My 96-Hour Goose Chase

A few days ago, I embarked on a journey I never imagined I would experience. It all started with a simple goal: to clear a small debt that had been weighing on me. I thought that taking a small loan would be the best solution to get back on my feet and settle everything. Little did I know that this decision would lead me into a 96-hour goose chase that cost me time, money, and trust. I began my search for a loan online, and after some browsing, I came across a Finance company that seemed legitimate. I reached out to them, eager to resolve my situation. After completing all the necessary forms on their website, they informed me that my credit score was low and, therefore, I wouldn't be approved for the loan unless I paid an upfront amount equal to one month's repayment (450 AED). They assured me that this amount would be refunded once the loan was processed and credited to my account. Naively, I rushed to the ATM to deposit the requested amount. Here's a breakdown of what fo...
