Few days ago...

I walked into a very beautiful eatery, well arranged, smelt like a flower garden and the air conditioning made it feel like I walked in from a furnace.

I did not expect to walk out irritated.

The security man who welcomed and opened the door for me was immaculately dressed. He greeted me with a warm smile to which I responded.

I didn't want to eat—all I needed was some peace and quiet, so I ordered water (I'm on a soda-free month).

The waiter reminded me of a flight attendant from one of James Bond's movies; I think it was the way she walked.

I decided to leave after around 30 minutes of chilling because it would be awkward to drink only a bottle of water for too long.

The counter was east of where I sat and that's where everything went south.

“What did you have, sir?”She asked.

“Why are you addressing me as 'sir'? Do I appear to be that old?” I replied sarcastically. "I just had water", I added.

"Sir, your bill is 400 naira."

She nodded when I showed her the bottle (which said 100CL).

"𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘰, 𝘯𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳, 𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭 𝘰", I was serious and didn't understand why she was smiling.

I gave her the money after about a minute of staring at her.

Just before I reached the door, for some reason, 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘦.

The security guard smiled as I walked to the door, but my chest ache prevented me from replying.

“Why did I pay 400 naira for 1 bottle water(100CL)? Is that not the price of 2 bags of sachet water (1000CL)?” I murmured.

Then it occurred to me that I had not paid for water.

I paid for the packaging...

We'll talk about packaging another time, I want you to focus on the value (water).

Value, in itself, is priceless!

Price is determined mostly by the value that's added and not necessarily the main offer.

Sachet water is 20 naira but when you put it in a bottle, it's 100 naira.

What changed?

That's exactly why the Eva bottle water that trended for a while had so many variants in price.

Digitally, value (mostly information-based) is almost free and the only payment it needs is attention—to PAY attention.

Here's what you want to do, get value - practice - refine - redefine.

The reason why some do not get value from their timeline (time online) is because the distractions they allow make it difficult for them to PAY attention...

Here are 3 important tips to help shut out distractions and focus on value:

✅ Unfollow and unfriend people who distract you from what you want to become. If you don't want to unfriend them, mute them!

✅ Deliberately follow and friend people who help you grow and are experts in your field.

✅ Tune your environment: I'm not just talking about physical environment, I'm also talking about your Facebook news feed, tik tok feed, youtube feed or whatever platform has been feeding you.

Sidenote: Ohh, did you just realize that social media is a digital canteen? Now you know why you're fed up, sounds like you just got served, right? 😂

The 3 tips listed above makes it easy for you to pay attention and get value from your timeline (time online).

You may never need a masterclass if you can effectively rinse and repeat those 3 tips.

Now? I'll head on to facebook and tell them I don't want to keep seeing a particular ad(vert) so I can easily pay attention.

What will you do?

I would love to know...

Drop a comment or be free to send me a message...

Before I go, something else you should pay attention to is that you're the Luz Del Mundo!

Did you ever hear someone say 'I'm chasing the bag' or '𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺' (in English - I'm looking for money)?

The first reason why you're still broke is because you have given money too much credit.

How?

You can't chase money because it doesn't run. You can't find money because it doesn't hide.

So, what have you been looking for all this time? The concept of money.

What should you do now? Where do you even begin? you really need this money, abi?

Keep reading.. I'm not a politician, I'll tell you the truth.

One way to get started is to accept that the concept of money you've been chasing is NOT real.

𝘈𝘩𝘩, 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥, 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦.

Money is only a representation that a transaction has taken place.

What you should be after is the ESSENCE of that transaction - 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 .

'𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘗𝘶𝘵' didn't have to chase you to give her the fee for the mountain of rice and hot chicken pepper soup which you washed down with that chilled bottle of coke 𝘢𝘣𝘪? No.

Why? That's because she already EARNED it by filling your stomach for you.

If she decides to find the money and take it from you when your stomach is still empty, you'll call her a thief right?

That's exactly why you've been broke. You've been trying to look for and take money from other people's pockets.

I'm not a policeman; I'm your friend, I'll help you out.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦.

1. Money is commanded by value.

2. Value comes before money.

BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE, YOU MUST BECOME!

Becoming a person of value gives you the ability to attract and command money.

Now do you realise why you do not need money? What you need is the essence of transaction (Value).

Stop chasing the bag, rather become the bag and people will gladly fill you up.

How do you become a person of value? Start by following this page.

Then, learn a skill.

Before you run away, read the next line to make sure you don't make the same mistake again.

Don't learn a skill to chase money. Learn a skill to SOLVE an existing problem.

You're VALUABLE not because you know 'how to', but because you've identified a problem and have a solution.

You will not only be paid for this skill, but you will also be able to create a system that works for you (even when you're asleep); using the solution you just created.

The rest is history.

You're welcome.

Oh yeah, you're also the Luz Del Mundo.

PS: For those who are serious, we have picked out the best resources and skills to get you started on becoming a person of value. Just signify in the comment section and we'll reach you.

Did you know the moon is also a star?

Before you join the crowd in yelling "Fallacy," read all the way to the end.

Have you ever been referred to as "Sunshine"? (_Where have all the lovebirds gone?_)

If you're a female reading this, I'm sure that was your sobriquet (pet name) at some point.

If you're a man, you should know better because you're primarily responsible for the name.

There's always that fuzzy feeling when you call someone that name.

Scientifically, the name is derived from the fusion of hydrogen and helium atoms (Oshey fusion, so thoughtful).

We can't imagine a day without a star as spectacular as the sun, can we?

On the other hand, the moon, to many is a big mass of rock circuiting the earth, right?

We notice it on some days, other days we're probably too tired or it's too cloudy.

It doesn't have a light of its own, it reflects sunshine.

Guess what, that big mass rock, flaws and all, never aspires to be like the sun.

It doesn't just decide one day that other planets should orbit it.

The moon realizes that even though its job is to shine someone else's light and only appear in the shadows, it is still indispensable.

Yes, indispensable; there would be no earth without that massive mass of rock, which regulates the tides and ensures the earth's balance.

You, reading this, may be like the moon; you're not always in the spotlight.

You're always working behind the scenes, making things happen without being noticed.

I want you to know that you're a superstar, not just a regular star.

You're always the one behind the lens cap that shines the spotlight on others.

Hear me out: it's okay to be purposeful while not being famous.

If you're like the sun, keep shining, but keep in mind that some people rely on your light.

Keep in mind that the large office you're sitting in was cleaned by someone. Acknowledge them..

Remember that James Bond would not have entertained you if it hadn't been for people who chose not to be in the spotlight.

Remember that without some silent but consistent whispers backing him up, John Obidi's voice would not be as loud.

Don't worry if you're reading this and aren't sure which one you are; give yourself some time.

Maintain your process.

Tubers do not grow from mustard seeds.

Don't worry, keep growing.

No matter if you're the sun or the moon...

The light you're meant to shine isn't to make you famous; it's meant to make you a witness.

You're not called to be the Eiffel Tower, you're called to be the watch tower.

This has to be reflected in your character and lifestyle.

The moon may not be a part of the constellation but it is a superSTAR.

Did you learn something? Tell me about it in the comments....

Never forget, you're the Luz Del Mundo (Light of the world).
