There's so many things you've said here that I love.

First off, I totally agree that consistency can change your life and it's so crazy how when you stick with something long enough, you start to see results.

I've also recently learned that yes, saving is important, but doing things for yourself, investing in yourself is just as important.

Btw, I love message in a hammer too, listening to it gives you the vim you need to live life in this country.

Again, I'm so proud of you and what this newsletter has grown to be. Goodluck with school, I love and miss you! ❤️

The thing with self discovery is the belief that there is a set out path (destiny) for everyone and people believe once they make certain actions or miss certain actions, they could miss it.

Self creation is a much better approach to life because then you know your “destiny” is in your hands and you can create what you want for your self.

Opened my email to check if you had sent a new newsletter and lo and behold, there it was, thank you once again.

Thanks for being consistent with this. I really enjoy how you paint pictures with words.

My favourite line in your post inspired this -

Thoughts and emotions gather,

form a restless crowd in my mind

first they murmur, then get louder,

all speaking at the same time

Now they rave,

Now they rage

but each rioter's

unheard and unseen

Now they blaze

Now they bellow

but the mob stays

enraged and caged in

Overwhelmed at this stage

so I put the pen to page

slowly,

feel the turmoil easing

slowly,

noise makes meaning

slowly,

thoughts find rhyme and reason

sometimes the mind struggles with speaking

but paper always listens

Lesson No. 5 >>>

I think a lot of people have got obsessed with the appearance of looking rich, maybe due to the openness social media has brought to communities?

This article was really interesting to go through, thanks for sharing Treasure🫶🏾

#3 is so relatable to me atm. I’m excited I’ve started working on #5. I now derive joy when I save and invest some funds.

Treasure, you're doing amazing 😍! I found this newsletter through your comment on a marketing newsletter I read.

Firstly, I appreciate your efforts. I have gone through your works here and I love every piece.

I'm working on my consistency, although school is hitting me hard. I'm almost done so I can focus. I don't want to put pressure on myself... I'm living more by living slow (if you get what I mean).

Thank you for this great piece! ❤️
