People put too much value in money.

Mina I dont care for money anymore. I care more for connecting with people and giving each other emotional happiness.

A good heart, pure intentions and making an impact. That is real wealth. Money iyaphela and fake friends will leave you.

When you touch someone’s spirit, you touch their soul, and karma is a real thing. The universe conspires to make you happy and the world is a better place, no matter what you have in the bank. Its cosmic reciprocation, I insist its real.

Ekuqaleni kweCovid, I can tell you that the people that received R350 monthly relief from the government were happier than those locked up in mansions in Sandhurst with fear of even going to Woolies to buy milk.

That money circulated more in the township economy than ever before and the multiplier effect took effect more than ever. There was some happiness there in the lockdowns.

If you are isolated from community, you are bound to be unhappy. However much money you have.

At some point it stops being about self, and becomes more about others. Family, society, heritage, charity, FREEDOM and philantropy if you have made a bundle in your existence.

I’ve had a very long life man. I want to help others now. I want to focus on ukusiza abantu. And thats my name in my dreams, Sizabantu. I’m just about done with me. I have proved enough points to myself.

I’m living for my kids now and the children in my extended family. I don’t have enough money saved up, but I want to do that now. To make every cent count. And to have less of wants than needs, to spend less than I earn and save up for these little rugrats. And invest for and in their future. I’m about that now.

I have done some of my self actualisation. A bit of travel once or twice in the year to the wonders of the world and to some historical places, Im ok to do that once in a while. But at the core, I want to solve problems for my people.

I’ve had a long life, more life than most. I have seen so many ups and downs. I’ve learnt stuff. I stayed in school, throughout my life. A perpetual student.

And these experiences and the education (which was at times expensive) are only worth it if I look back and I bring out the lessons to share with the younger ones, as they set out on their journey through this life.

That makes sense for me. And I will use the cents for that.

Peace be with you fam.
