🌿 Education With Money — My True Definition of Balance
They say education is power, and yes, it truly is — but I’ve come to learn something deeper: education without return is incomplete.
I don’t just believe in learning for the sake of it. I believe in education with money — education that feeds the mind and funds the dream.
When I help someone back home, especially in my village, I don’t rush to hand out cash anymore. Instead, I choose to educate the most promising young one — because knowledge multiplies, and dignity grows when someone earns their own.
Let’s be honest: education is good, but money is even more good when it aligns with purpose. I don’t want to be a broke professor. I want to be a professor who drives the latest Range Rover or Merc, who teaches by example — that you can be grounded, generous, prayerful, and still enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
I want to teach and inspire, not just in lecture halls if ever I will... but in life. I want to be that mother who sometimes misses a school meeting or a rugby game because she’s building something lasting — yet takes her children on a two-week vacation, just us, laughing, resting, and living.
I want to be that friend you call for a spontaneous Dubai trip, not because you need help paying, but because you know you won’t be a burden — because I can afford it, and we’ll both have fun guilt-free.
I want to be the shoulder you cry on when your $300,000 capital is gone, and still remind you:
“You are not your loss. You’ll rise again. We both will.”
That’s what balance means to me.
Even in my faith, as I pray to my Jehovah, I want to align with you — not to change you... Even though once in a while I might share my faith, but is to strengthen you spiritually. Balance is not about being an all-rounder; it’s about being fully present where you are, without abandoning the other parts of you.
God, in His divine humour, never made everything equal. He made contrast — light and dark, joy and pain, progress and pause — because that’s where life breathes. If everything were perfect and similar, life would be unbearably boring.
So here’s my truth:
I want to live educated. I want to live wealthy. I want to live balanced.
Because I’m not chasing success at the expense of peace — I’m creating a life that has both.
