more from that month
Make a life, don't end one. I am sorry I didn't post yesterday, I have been struggling to sleep for some nights now and the last two days weren't cool. I went 48hrs without sleeping for more than three hours, I thought it was the heat so I filled my generator tanks, and surprisingly I couldn't sleep with the fan on so yesterday, I didn't engage that much because I took some sleeping pills which made me weak but I slept well. This morning I feel different, I feel very good to engage.
My topic might sound silly but I want you to read patiently to the end. You do be thinking that as humans, we do not have the power to make a life. That's true, only God giveth life but as humans, we can indirectly make a life if we choose to do so. This isn't about raising the dead, healing the sick, or using technology to make a life, it is easier than that.
**Let's read this story I watched on Tiktok**. A billionaire decided to pretend to be homeless and he associated with some homeless guys. He became very close to one and one day while they were strolling the rich man asked the homeless guy what he would do with a $500 if he gets one. The guy said that's huge because he hasn't had such in years, he said he was going to lodge in a cheap hotel for one night just to have a feel of sleeping on a bed and watch TV again since he hasn't done that for a long time too. He continued, I will get myself some new pair of clothes in the morning. He added that he was going to get a room for the billionaire too so that would have the home feeling again before they return to being homeless. He said after everything, I will go donate the rest to charity. The billionaire was surprised that he even had the time to remember others, he asked the homeless guy why he wanted to help when the money wasn't even enough. The homeless man said we don't have to be rich to make a life, it can be made out of the little things. We work to make a living and we give to make a life, both must be done. Life isn't all about us alone, you doing great, you are prosperous, living large is not the end of it. I think out of that wealth, you are meant to make a life out of it. Let's take Marc De Mesel as a case study, he could have just kept everything he has donated on various platforms for himself. He could have just spent the money on luxuries for himself but he choose to make not just a life but lives out of it, can you guess households are benefitting from his generosity? If we do not open our mouths to pray for him, don't you think he has a special place in God's heart?
I want to believe that we are all meant to make life even out of the nothing we have, a lot of us think it is about showering people with money but it doesn't end there. Is Marc giving you physical cash? He allowed us to earn by engaging with one another, sharing knowledge, and even learning at the same time so this should make us understand that giving money is not everything. Making life means giving but it doesn't have to be only money, you can give more than that. *I brought a mechanical engineer to the platform some time ago because he told me how much responsibility he was handling, I told him that mine was twice his own.* *I introduced him to the platforms, and he did for some time and stopped, I got to understand that the little I would have helped him with wouldn't have made a difference as well*. Sometimes the money you will give won't be as valuable as the opportunities you will give, some situations require instant money while some require an opportunity and we just have to be able to differentiate between them. We sometimes think we don't have enough to do so but that's not true, everyone has the power to make a life. You can give life-changing advice, give opportunity, it can be food, shelter, a job, or even clothes, it might be little to you and it would mean a lot to the beneficiary. It could be something someone's life is hanging on so why hesitate to do it. Some guys in my area changed their wardrobes and dumped the old ones in the dustbin, a few hours later - I saw some kids digging through the bin. They packed lots of clothes and were excited about it, they even went on to try them on and I nearly had tears drop from my eyes. I gave out the leather slippers that weren't fitting me anymore and those kids were excited and I said to myself, wouldn't it have been great if these kids were handed the clothes directly? The things we see as nothing might be everything to someone, you might be making a life in the least expected way you think.
**What would you gain from making a life?** I don't think something should be expected in return if we genuinely made a life, there is a bigger reward that comes naturally when you make a life and that's divine happiness. I don't know how others feel but I feel happy whenever I am able to put a smile on someone's face, I feel great like I am fulfilling one of my purposes here on earth. I see people share ideas about how to make more money on various platforms, @Esmee does that a lot. @PVMihalache @bmjc98 @Fexonice1 @HappyBoy @Pantera and many others don't hesitate to share knowledge of how to make more money in the cryptoverse, they might not know but they are automatically making a life because there are people making use of that knowledge which is changing their life. Shout out to @Olasquare and @Princessbusayo, you guys are having a huge impact on me.
**Why take life from others when you can make a life for them?** I didn't want to mention this but it is important I do because there are people that drain the life out of others, it is a terrible thing to do. Creating a fake project and carting away with people's money means draining life because some gave their all. After all, you made them trust in you. They were trying to make a life for you, building the project was life for you but you went on to hurt them. Taking away from people who are in need is draining life away from them and everyone who is doing that should desist from it because there is always a reward for every good or evil you do.

Some people will not understand what it takes to help someone do something take care of his life on his own by giving him a helping hand with someone tangible and long lasting like a capital for his business or a job. If you can't give then don't take.
I could feel the vibe from you this morning, going a day without having a sound sleep weaken the whole body.. like seriously, is what i always experience and I'm trying to get over it with time... The question is, which impact have we made on people life, is it a negative impact or a positive impact? It's not about how rich you're, but the impact negative impact you have made in people life. However everything is not about monetary issues, we can always give out what we have to make other people to feel good. For me , I will rather prefer to be thought how to fish rather than to be serve with fish because I'm going to consume it all. We should always be there to put smile on people face, instead of adding more sore to the injury...
I felt a lot better and I am even feeling sleepy at the moment. I agree with you on the fact that making a positive impact on people's lives would go a long way, it is better not to add problems when you won't add to someone joy.
Good to know that you're feeling better.
The failure of some people to comprehend what it takes to help a single individual do something to take care of his own life and his family on his own, by providing him with a helping hand with something tangible and long lasting like a capital for his business or a job. They don't understand the mighty law of if can't give them don't take from them. And that is how you actually live a life. This is a very nice article.
Helping someone start a business is a good thing if you have the opportunity, it will go a long way than giving them every time they come to seek for help.
Wise words to absorb from your article this morning. I felt this, the story of the man who threw his used clothes away and those children who came, digging into the trash bin just to get something befitting. Make a life, there are so many people out there who are in desperate need for one thing or the other, even things that are worthless and meaningless to us. (Sighs) thanks for these words George.
For some time now, I hardly dispose things. I keep them until I see someone I can give them to because I have got to understand that there are people in need of those things we see as trash.
The journey makes us all better ... if we want to change! I think you are doing well so keep up with the good work
Thanks for the compliment sir, I really appreciate that.
Ohh it’s truly making a like. Mr. Marc is a generous man and surely he will has a place in God’s heart. The homeless man knows and feels what others are going through even though he’s one of them. He will sure help them to make a life for them.
That's true, the people who have been there ought to understand how it feels but they are the one that eventually lock up when they become rich.
If all of us can just be helping each other am sure there won't be poor people here and there but some people are just to greedy Imagine that guy that created fake project to collect money from people
That's true, the world poverty level will definitely reduce if we see reasons to help one another.
You have said alot sir...giving is one of the things that we cannot rule out of life as it is very important. Thanks for reminding me that money is not the only thing I can give.
Money is not the only thing but we focus too much on many and it makes us forget that there are other things in our capacity that we can help people with.
The first thing i will say is "sorry for the short napping moments you've been having", please try and sleep more sir. To the main article, making a life is what we all really need do, no matter our status, nothing is too small to give out, by doing this genuinely we put smiles on the face of others.
This is why they say; "Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime". Opportunities are truly more valuable than money in most cases and it's better to teach a person how to fend for themselves instead of giving them money, unless the situation at that point warrants instant help in the form of money
Giving a man a lasting solution is better than helping him or her temporarily, bless them so that you can bless others while they bless people as well
It is not all about money but the opportunity you show to people matters. Do not give fish alone but let them learn how to create fish too because doing that, they are also learning and improving themselves and at the same time, earning. When we have an opportunity, and keep it to ourselves, it is a way of draining people´s life but God never wanted us to do that. Help in your way by sharing the knowledge you have of something to others. Thank you for the mention, George ❤
There is no point in keeping opportunities to ourselves, it is best when we create life with the privilege God had bestowed on us.
Giving is not all about money. It is about your time, your talent, your skills, your knowledge, your things that can be given to someone who is need. But giving won't focus on giving alone. You're right that giving them an opportunity to learn how to earn is more than a money you gave. There is joy and happiness in giving. You will receive your reward from heaven.
Heaven indeed blesses those who choose to make a life for others, thanks for checking in.
