Minding my business is one of the things I'm very good at. As long as it doesn't concern me I'm definitely staying out of it .
I love my own space, working things out, scrolling through the internet. I can't help but feel a sense of happiness and peace of mind and it all thanks to minding my own business.

I could remember an certain day i almost got involved in what's not my business. Few years back when I was still learning graphic design, I also wanted to do some thing else for myself as a source of income, then I decided to create a brand for myself.
Since I had the idea of importing goods from other countries, I decided to do something new, so with my new brand I had, just launched my pre-order brand.
One day, while I was at my working place where I learned graphics design, I found myself getting involved into a heated conversation, about two popular musicians who is more richer and sings more better, others were sharing some juicy gossip about the latest hairstyles, and honestly, the gossip were so juicy, to the extent that, i almost joined join in the conversation.
But then, I remembered I have to stay focused, then i decided that, i would always my business, I took a deep breath and I excused myself from the conversation, and i was focused on creating a good name for my own brand instead.
Moving on today, I'm happy that I need a good choice of minding my business and focusing on building my own brand, I'm glad my brand is doing well, so yeah I'm a young boss . Instead of putting energy on what doesn't concern me I rather channel the energy to something productive.
In my area where I reside, people love gossiping, even if you don't want to gossip or do things that doesn't concern you, they would always find a way to draw you inside a conversation.
I could remember when a pastor's daughter got pregnant in my area, everybody was gossiping about her, she was like the talk of the town, and funny enough this pastor's daughter and I attend the same school. So everyone just wanted me to say something negative about her, while me on the other hand, wasn't interested in saying anything, it's her life and not mine, so I don't see any reason why I should be so concerned about somebody else's life.
When this topic was still hot, a gossiper in my street stopped me on my way to work, and her reason for stopping me was to ask me if I've heard that the pastors daughter is now pregnant. I was so pissed at the same time I try to maintain calmness because she was an elderly woman.
In my head I was just calculating what's my business with this question she's asking me, then I answered "oh I've heard", and this woman started saying all sort of crazy things, she started by saying....
All these pastors children that is how they are, they are pretenders, always living fake life, they would wear long gown to church, and act like a harlot after church"
I was so shocked after she said this words, then I told her we are humans and we are not to judge other people it is only God that has the right to judge. And then she asked if I'm supporting her, I knew where she was going to so I cleared myself, I let her know I'm not in the side of anybody...
This woman was just bent on making me to say something should would use against me, and honestly I wasn't ready for that, I just had to find a way to cut the story short and move on. The human almost made me to miss my staff bus that would be driving me to work.
Honestly I love minding my business, minding your business comes with a lot of advantages, nobody we have anything to say against you, nobody will be gossiping and make reference to what you said to them when both of you were gossiping, minding your business is the best.
You can actually walk freely without having any guilt, of what people would say about you.
Instead of involving yourself in conversations that are not your business, put the energy in being productive, focus on building yourself instead than wasting time and energy on something that is worthless.
Thanks for reading through 🌹❤️

yh, good job staying out of the pregnant pastor's daughter wahala. Gossips spread like wild fire and can sometimes do damage to the people that are talked about. In this case, it will worsen her self-esteem, self-image and overall confidence she has in her self and other people
Besides, this is why we should fight again "teenage" pregnancy...
Yeah, you're right 👍
Thanks for your opinion 😊
This is cool. I mind my business too. Especially does it save time and stress when the topic does not add much value to me. There are lots of controversial issues in almost everywhere. There would be no time to talk about everything. Many people want their voice to be heard. But most times, its best to stay out of divisive topics and focus on being more productive.
Honestly there is nothing more than minding your business, but no matter how hard you try people will still find something about you to gossip with.
