POVERTY

Poverty is like a snake in your room. It leaves when you fight it
So never get tired

Poverty

Poverty is like a snake in your room.

When you see it, you know you have to kill it before you can rest. And if you can’t kill it today, you know you’re not sleeping in that room. Because as long as that snake is there, you’re in danger. And if you leave it, it won’t stay alone — it will multiply. It brings hardship, crime, and broken futures along with it.

That’s how poverty is. It doesn’t leave because you ignore it. It doesn’t leave because you’re tired. It leaves when you fight it, and you kill it.

And here’s the truth: you don’t stop fighting just because you tried once and failed. You don’t stop because you’re exhausted. You don’t stop because others before you gave up. If your family is struggling, it’s not because they were created that way. It’s because, somewhere along the line, the people who came before weren’t able to lay the foundation you need to build on.

And now, it is on you.

If you want to break that chain, your job is to build that foundation. It’s not about curses. It’s not about bad luck. It’s about choices. It’s about sacrifice. It’s about focus. And it’s about having a will so strong that nothing makes you give up.

You can’t afford to compromise your values. You can’t trade your grind for cheap entertainment. You don’t drop your seriousness for leisure when there’s a snake in your room. You stay learning, you stay building, you stay fighting. Whether it’s self-development, communication, business, or leadership — you grow yourself, so you can grow your family, your future, and your generation.

Because until you kill that snake, you don’t sleep.

And when you finally do — when you finally beat that poverty, break that chain, and build that foundation — you won’t just be resting easy for yourself. You’ll be securing peace for those coming after you.

So never get tired. Never relax until you’re free.
Kill the snake.
