I was going through my gallery especially the screenshot section hoping to find a few ones to delete to save space and stop my phone from misbehaving and holding back loading abilities when I found something I had forgotten about. The screenshot read;

And then it struck me again that no matter where I turn the philosophy around money and wealth will never change. Maybe, the only thing that will change is the means through which we will be able to make money and generate wealth. Or maybe this will never change at all as well because Solomon outrightly said in the scripture that, there's nothing new in this world.
We've only forgotten and when it comes around again, we say, it's something new. Whereas, it's the same old thing and he buttressed his point by telling us that everything is vanity upon vanity. That's something the wisest man on earth said.
However, I have come to realize that he's right and the universe has a way of always reminding me, that as long as the rules around money and wealth don't change, we can do it again and again. It will always come around again and again as the wisest man said. Now it's up to us to recognize it when it does and if we made mistakes in the past, we correct them on the next opportunity.
Opportunity is something worth seeking, of course, after all, the scripture also asks to always seek wisdom. And if we look through the lens of life, sniffing out the times, and grabbing opportunities when they show up, we will able to build wealth, using its unchanging principles.
To return to where I started, life will always give us second chances to make things right but if we do not learn the lesson well the first or second time, then, we will keep making blunders, failing, and constantly blaming life to be unfair to us.
When in reality it's not. We are just not taking responsibility for our actions.
But if one fails at making, keeping, and investing the first few rounds of his life, it doesn't mean, all is lost, no. There are lots of motivational packages written around time zones that we ought to pay attention to.
Some people make it early and die early. Some fail early and make it late. Everyone running different races, at different timestamps. The need to run off and try to overtake someone running a completely different race than you only leaves you drained and recked.
Knowing this, eating your seeds while others are eating their fruit is a bad thing to do. For the sake of your future, if you made this mistake before, it's only right to retrace your steps. If you can't find the opportunity to make it right at the moment, don't worry, hold still, keep chipping in, soon, when an opportunity shows up, grab it, but this time, use the past mistakes to make this one better.
When you do, remember all the fixed rules around wealth and money, channel your energy into creating webs, oceans and drops of cents that soon accumulates to something that brings you the best ROI in the world which is the freedom to do what you want, when you want, and at any cost.
