What an epic experience. I’m so proud of my leader and our boys. What a season! This is another test of faith & my clan remain insanely loyal. I’m heart broken but have to stay strong for my heir. He is definitely locked into @Arsenal for life. Generational transfer completed 🥰

My son Obi (11) is on a mission to bankrupt me. He is reading 4-5 books a week. He ran through the Maze Runner series within a week, now he is 5/14 since the books came on Tuesday last week. I donʼt think I can afford to keep up with this momentum. forum.raptures.io/rooms/2

A week before Mrs Njoku & I got married she had her 2nd miscarriage. On the morning of the wedding terrified she asked me (desperately looking for assurance) that would we be happy if she couldnt have kids. The morning.

When I left university I wanted to be worth $100m by the time I was 40. 15years later & Today I am 40. I'm not worth $100m but 🤥. Mrs Njoku says if it makes me feel any better that at least I am worth N100m 🥺. As I've aged money has taken a back seat to family. When I was ill

Teach your daughters violence. A few days ago much older Russian boy (10+) kept pushing Nnenna at the water park in Turkey. He wouldn't stop. I told Kaego to punch him if he pushes your sister again. He did & she kept punching him until his parents & the life guard intervened🥋

Since I restricted ALL electronics for Obi (10) he has turned into a beast of a reader. Churning through a book a week and he even bugged me to complete the Percy Jackson franchise. This is definitely a big win for the clan. A few years back we had to force him to read. 🙏🏾

Many who locked in fully sacrificing all as you mentioned. Still didn’t win. It’s never that simple.
Some of you are doing some of the right things but the reasons you're not successful is that you are not locked in enough.
And you're not locked in enough because you want to have your cake and eat it: you want to be able to hang with all your friends, eat anything you like, sleep as long as you want and also still win.
The problem is that it does not always work. When you lock in, your circle will narrow to only a few essential folks, you might change a lot about your habits; you might sleep less and a whole lot of other changes.
So you don't do it. You rather "manage". There is a time for everything. If you are in lock in season, please leave everything and lock in.
When you ease off, the things and people you missed will be there. At least the ones that matter.
