I Surrender Everything to God

I am building assets as a disciplined and responsible writer, book author, entrepreneur, and investor in the economy because I want to make money instead of... - calling life unfair - blaming life - living with a regret mentality - spending haphazardly I want to win. I want to never give up for 365 days. I take risks and bet on myself for the glory of God, so that when He asks me what I did with the life He gave me... I can say, I owe and did everything to & for God and I alone was responsible for my life, blaming no one and taking full accountability for my wins and failures. I will say to God that I'm just happy to finally see my best friend, God. In my early 20s... My two siblings went to heaven. The mountain of grief... This one wasn’t quiet or still. It roared. It shook me. It tore through my carefully constructed plans, dismantling the life I thought I knew. Grief is a mountain like no other. It doesn’t let you choose the path or the pace. It demands everything from you—your strength, your tears, your hope. I remember feeling like I was clawing my way up, only to slide back down into the dark, cold valley below. Grief doesn’t ask for permission; it simply arrives, uninvited and unrelenting. It lingers in the quiet moments, in the spaces you thought were safe. But somewhere along the way, I realized that grief isn’t a mountain you conquer. It’s one you learn to live with. Its presence never fades entirely, but it stops feeling like an enemy. Instead, it becomes a part of the landscape, shaping who you are and how you see the world. Each of these mountains changed me. They stripped away my pride, my certainty, and my need for control, leaving me with something far more valuable: perspective. They reminded me that life isn’t about avoiding challenges, but about facing them with courage and grace. They taught me that strength isn’t the absence of struggle—it’s the ability to keep climbing, even when the summit feels impossibly far away. Grief, I’ve learned, doesn’t wait for an invitation or give you a chance to prepare. It barges in, rearranging everything. But the beauty is in realizing that you don’t have to defeat it. You just have to keep moving, step by step. The climb isn’t about getting to the top—it’s about learning to live with the mountain, to let it shape you, not destroy you. It reminded me that the hardest battles don’t leave us weaker. They carve us into something stronger, someone who sees the world a little differently. That’s what I read today. And honestly, it still cuts deep. But instead of thinking of the pang of pain, I think of myself as a diamond emerging through the thick of the smoke and the punches that life throws at me. As a result, I became a published book author of My Journey, a book in memory of my two siblings. I wrote there, A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. I wrote, I hope and pray My Journey inspires you to honor your own journey. Fast forward to 2025, I'm a writer, book author, entrepreneur, and a disciplined and responsible investor in the economy, so that I preserve my wealth instead of spending haphazardly. When you're not losing, you're winning. I have dedicated my life to discipline, knowledge, education, hard work, integrity, and charity for the glory of God. A fiat currency can only stretch so far even for the sharpest financial minds, but the value of a life well-lived? That’s priceless.
