Imagine this.
In your twenties, you are already able to retire your parents.
You take them off work for life, comfortably afford the life you want, and still have enough capacity to uplift other people.
Well, it is not a fantasy or a fairytale.
These are possible realities.
I understand the current state of the world’s economy, but that does not mean I am subject to it.
One day, I was talking to my mentor and he made a remark about how difficult the current economic reality is for many young people, especially Gen Zs.
I understood where he was coming from.
Many young people are navigating rising costs, limited opportunities, and a world that seems increasingly expensive to build a life in.
But my defiant nature refused to accept that this had to be my story.
I understand the realities around me, but I refuse to let them define the limits of what is possible for me.
And when I talk about success, I do not mean money alone.
I mean being healthier, happier, more committed to your relationships with GOD and man, funding GOD’s agenda, and living your best life in the moment.
We are often told about how hard it is for young people today.
I agree.
It is hard.
But it is hard for a reason.
And you must determine to solve problems and break through, because beyond this toughness lies an easier life ahead.
This is why you must spend your youth focused and building capacity while also living it.
Subscribe to fewer excuses.
Bear burdens strategically, but set boundaries.
At the end of the day, time will keep moving forward.
If you are not sowing, building, learning, and seizing your place in life, you may eventually arrive at a life you never bargained for.
This may sound harsh.
It may even sound insensitive.
But trust me, you really do not want to be chasing and striving in your old age.
Promise yourself that you will take every chance.
Make mistakes.
Feel stupid.
Fail.
Succeed.
Try again.
Do not settle for a mediocre life simply because the systems have defined it as normal.
Dare big things.
Be audacious.
Refuse a life of excuses.
My father would say:
“Building capacity prepares you for opportunity.”
I believe that deeply.
Your twenties are not just for having fun.
They are for building.
Building your mind.
Building your body.
Building relationships.
Building your faith.
Building skills.
Building companies.
Building wealth.
Building capacity.
And yes, living too.
You do not have to postpone your life until you become successful.
Build while you live.
Live while you build.
I am not saying this is a license to engage in or actively pursue life-damaging activities.
This is for those treading legitimate paths.
The goal is not simply to become rich.
The goal is to become the kind of person who can carry the life you are praying for.
So start now.
You have more time than you think, but less time than you realise.
See you at the top, my fellow billionaire.
