I used to buy clothes I cannot afford just to impress people for Owambe. I borrowed money to look rich. At the end, I was broke and still not happy.

Last year I made a decision: I will live simple.

I started wearing what I have. I started saying "I don't have" when I don't have. My real friends stayed, fake friends left. My savings started growing.

The Bible says Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:6). When I became content, God opened small doors. I got side hustle. I started this page.

My brother, my sister in Lagos, Warri, Asaba - stop living for Instagram. Live for your future. The people you want to impress are also managing their own problems. They are not thinking about you so don't try to make them feel happy and important when they do not reciprocate please.

Live simple today, so you can live better tomorrow.
