I Am 40 Years Today by Telltruth123: 10:06am On May 10
I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be alive today, many have lost their lives and is not by our power but by His grace.
I really appreciate GOD for this opportunity given to me and I pray to GOD that I witness more of it
NAIRALANDERS, please help me appreciate GOD.

I think it's really unhealthy to set rigid time goals for milestone achievements. No one knows tomorrow and it's out of our hands really. You can crush 80% goals only to fall ill or get fired or the economy goes bust and you feel you failed.

I think it's better to line goals up and achieve one at a time. That gives a more positive outlook of what your success is at a point in time rather than what you weren't able to achieve.

Who set all these lifetime goals really? Hearsay or tradition?

I just want to know
Firstly, I am a woman and a graduate of Accounting. I am married with children.
The goal I set for myself is to have my own business and stop salary work by the time I reach 40 years but I could not achieve it because of the following reasons:
1. Underemployment- my salary hardly cover transport and feeding despite my effort to get better job, it is just a little bit better.

2. Marriage Challenges: husband marring additional two wifes when we are still struggling in a rented apartment and me carrying the major expenses, the other wifes have left him, they couldn't endure. When I try to take a break at my parents house, my mummy would come out of the house and disgrace me Infront of the house, I had to go back and endure.

3 No parental Support - even before I got married what my parents were interested is my salary and immediately I got married,they left me with my faith.
4. Closest people I entrusted with the little money I saved doing business with them swindled my money I did not recover a penny .I had to start from scratch.
By the grace of God, I don't have any health challenges.

What I have learned are as follows:
1. Be close to GOD, HE is the director of the universe.
2. Trust no one, your parents can disappoint you, your partner can disappoint you, anybody close to you can disappoint you.

3. Immediately you start work, cultivate the habit of saving so that you will have something to fall back on, as a salary earner save before spending and learn the skill of business because the income is unlimited.

4. Don't do pass your self, nobody cares . don't give yourself unnecessary pressure.
5 Only you can make yourself happy.

I think with the little I have mentioned, I have been able to contribute something.
Thank you.

I am a year older than u and I bet u,u still have bright future ahead of u only if u could work more and start rethinking the areas u failed and the areas u did well and in so doing,u might get better before u clock 50.

I like ur resilience but mine is,ever since I turned 40,I have become very lazy,I now hate going to the office,although I get paid monthly may be because I get income from other sources but the truth is, 40years has indeed humbled me and has made me look back and realised my past mistakes and past lucks too.

Good to hear u out and love the fact u stayed back for ur children there is nothing like it honestly.

Happy birthday to you.
At 40 i don't pray to have wife and kids and of course baggages of problems like you.
At forty i have just few goals to achieve :
.
To have enough in my bank account.
To live my life my way and by my own rules.
To be very far from negativity in every form be it family or friends.
To still be able to enjoy palm oiled rice and beans with action bitters

Congratulations ma'am. It is not easy to reach 2 score age wise.

You have really come along way and most importantly you had kids to show for your journey so far.

Though not close to your age, but life has also happened to most of us. Being responsible (ability to cater for my needs in my little way and little support other there) is only possible for me approximately 3 years ago. Before then, it was total struggle and brokeness. Not there yet, but now is better than the previous few decades of my life.

I still thank God for gift of life and good health over all of us. Hopefully, to get settled down with partner with positive outlook to future without being too materialistic.
