10thTenthMan:
1. Analyze, understand and discover yourself, your personality, your capabilities, your strengths, your weaknesses and the Sins you are very susceptible to and battle with. Know thine self in and out. Most times those Sins are why you are on earth to train your spirit to mature and overcome them. And those sins can destroy you. Is it sex,cheating, greed, pride, bad temperament, violence, betrayal, stealing/theft, gossip/slander, gluttony, ungratefulness, etc?


2. Have, set and define your long term goals and aspirations in life. In fact Define who you are going to marry as a matter of fact and when and the number of kids you intend to have. Etc.
Have a vision board for these goals and aspirations.

3. Identify and create your plan and aspiration towards financial freedom. E.g identify what makes you happy and how you can earn from it while doing it.

4. Always Break those goals into tiny steps and tasks and be focused on achieving these in tiny steps so that you are always working towards your goals.

5. Plan every year (January) what targets and objectives you intend to achieve and paste this on your vision board in your room.

6. Take action and DO IT EVEN IF YOU ARE AFRAID. Always take action and do it afraid.

7. Ensure you understand the principle of Unity consciousness where simply put, thought+knowledge+action+affirmation brings RESULTS/MANIFESTATION. Try to imagine only good outcomes. Do not focus on negative outcomes. Everything from your thoughts, words and actions must be geared towards a positive, pleasant and beneficial outcome.

8. Show gratitude whether things work your way or not. You never can tell what you have just been saved from when your wishes/prayers don’t come true.

9. Do not rely on anything or anyone to be happy. Happiness should come from within. Understand and try to ensure you are happy even on your own. Celebrate being alone and enjoy your own company as much as possible.

10. At your own pace, go slowly and be stoic. Do not fret over what you cannot control. And do not fret over what you can control. Just go ahead and control it. Worrying or hurrying is stress. Plan properly so you don’t need to hurry or worry.
best advice by a mile, welldone sir

Getting rich is not the priority, rather develop yourself to achieve greatness. Social life is just a but distraction towards greatness. Look up to achievers for motivation not actors and actress, they live fake lives.

Thank you @all , for the abundance advices.....

It seems all the advice is for me -- from spirituality to woman to money...
Acquiring skills is the best way

Every sentences up there is kinda pointing at me, though i'm 20, life has taught me a lot, but I thank God I didn't give up...

And learning a skill a not as easy as people portrayed, one has to have access to food and equipment for easy and fast learning -- both factors are affecting people seriously...

And I have interest in learning a digital skills but, I'm unable to get a Laptop and also unable to get an Android phone (from a poor familly background) -- how am I gonna cope with learning without having access to the two, I'm honestly tired and nobody wants to help.

Well, as someone said -- Put God First

Relax , worry less about things you cannot control . Just keep improving in all aspects of your life even if it’s baby steps and everything will fall in place .

When I reflect , I ask myself why I was so worried. The things I was worried about didn’t matter eventually. It’s the things I didn’t really regard that came through and now I am building on them. I know it’s hard not to worry but just try. It reduces disappointments and stress.

Ultimately , Que Serra Serra.

No, I don't believe this crap.
Get a good woman early and build with her.

I don't believe in looking for woman at 35- 45

At 20 you should have a girlfriend who cares and means well for you.

Plan your life to get married at 30 years maximum.
Majority of them cheat during those stages though

Old age at 40?

Nah. Old age starts at 70.
You are not old at 40 but that's when the reality of old age starts to dawn on you. That's when you start to watch certain things to prepare you for the real old age coming in front of you. I said that cos his write up seems to suggest he's feeling like a grown up that can now advise, not knowing there are still lots of hurdles and mistakes waiting to be made at 25+.

Be selfish with your time. Acquire and develop any skillset. By the time you hit 28 you'll be above your peers mentally and relatively physically.

Don't let social media teach you what life should be like. 90% information on social media have nothing to do with real life hence they are just contents so that you can make other people rich while you remain poor. You may say its just entertainment, that's how America started and today they have over 2000 genders legitly. Your subconscious mind is very powerful

Be honorable.

Seems like a cliche, but living an honorable life will simplify your life to an unimaginable extent, which makes life worth living. so how can you be honorable? It is simple. In any situation you find yourself, choose the path of honor.

Are you in a position of power and have the ability to punish someone? then don't do it, only punish them if it is within the law, and not because of your vindictiveness.

An example of the above is how a landlord who has a front shop gets angry when tenants buy stuff elsewhere. As revenge, they hike rental prices or torment the tenants in many ways.

Lots of men will only help a woman as bait to sleep with her, that is a very dishonorable act. Help people, and don't exploit their weak state.

Sometimes, you may be in a scenario where you can scam someone and they won't know. Don't do it, because you will always be answerable to your conscience, and even worse when they find out.

When you live life in an upright, straightforward way, you greatly simplify your life. Manipulating the realities of life never ends up good, and if you don't know, it only goes to show the limitations in how you view the world.

What you show you shall reap, it is very true. The world has evolved for millions of years, more than what human knowledge can comprehend. We do not know all the rules yet, and safeguarding yourself is by being honorable.

When you are being honorable, the world will notice, and the world will open itself to you to move forward. Just as people give their best to good leadership (eg as Nigerians migrate to better places), good things in life will come to you if you live honorably.

To be honorable, you have to develop yourself to be more internally focused, and less of this world. Materialistic people are not honorable, since their vanity triumphs above honor.

Be honorable. It will take you far.
Re: Age 25+..what Advice Would You Give Someone Age 18-24? by pansophist(m):
Also, always speak the truth, or at least don't lie.

There is a strategy I use, and it's that if I am caught between saying a bitter truth or lying, I just stay silent. Living a life of truth makes you honorable, and people will value your opinion more than the person who always says what they want to hear.

Not lying is a form of self-acceptance. To accept yourself, you must give the world your unique self, and saying the truth is an expression of that. When you lie, you kill your unborn self. Like a tree bringing out poisonous fruits instead of a healthy one.

Also, the truth is power. You can be a descendant of a slave, but with truth, you instantly become powerful. People in power will tremble at your words, and their wealth and position can do nothing to stop you.

From MLK, Malcolm, Mandela, and Muhammad Ali, all these people rose from nothing just by telling the truth to power. And people hating you for saying the truth is their problem. Because the same people would want you to give them clean water to drink, and not lie that urine is clean
