Never forsake the gathering of the brethren...

Jan 09, 2023 4:34 pm

Happy new year once again.

I was having a discussion with one of the gods 8 hours ago…

And during the discussion,

Messages were passed down to me.

Shortly after the talk ended, I had to rush to the bathroom and prepare for the class I had.

Just got back not quite long

Hence why you're receiving your email now.

That's by the way.

Now, let's get into the message that has been sent to you.

I want to rest my head

First name,

It is not everyone that will tell you this…

But because I have you in mind greatly and the gods care so much about you…

I was sent to you.

Let's go into 3 things that you shouldn't do this year.

1. Don't ever abhor love

Yes! You read right.

The norm these days in this part of the world is that…

Once you show someone you love them, they will misuse the affection.

While that might be true(not entirely)…

Because, well we are all humans

There are people that you shouldn't abhor love from.

Like me 🌚!!!

One law of nature that I've come to learn is…

We are expected to show and not abhor love.

So if you're abhorring love because it makes you feel like the alpha male,

Or you're abhorring love because it makes you feel like a strong girl,

DESIST! REPENT!

2. Never forsake the gathering of the brethren.

Relax! I ain't preaching to you yet

But hear me out.

The gathering of the brethren in this context means…

Never ever forsake a growing community.

You see,

There are things that I don't expect to come to me but because of the sake of the communities I'm in…

I enjoy those benefits.

And it won't ever stop as long as I don't forsake the gathering of the brethren.

So, my dear…

Do not run away from a growing community.

Or you can run tho

A word is enough.

And the last "do not" for the week…

3. Do not continue with that bad habit.

Before you say no be you go tell me wetin I go do, calm down.

I was studying Chapter 2 of Atomic Habits last week,

And I got clarity on something.

Your habit is not just about what you do…

Oh! I don't like eating this particular food

I can't quit smoking

I lie a lot and I can't stop it

Your habit is WHO YOU ARE.

It is your IDENTITY.

And this occurred to me that…

The process of building habits is the process of becoming your own person.

So, when you start to cultivate habits that are good or bad…

You are basically choosing who you're gonna be.

I posted a quote on my WhatsApp status some days back and it says…

"Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity."

So, if you want the best version of First name…

You need to stop that bad habit.

And then build good ones.

The gods have sent me and I've delivered.

See ya tomorrow.

P. S.: One way you can stop bad habits is to cultivate new ones.

And one thing that can help you out is:

Go to Google or telegram when you're done reading this mail
Search for atomic habits on Google or telegram
Download the PDF and get the audio from telegram
After you've done that, get yourself into your reading mode and start reading chapter by chapter. You can read one chapter per day.
Practice as you read.
Enjoy building new habits.

Protip: Read the PDF and listen to the audio at the same time.
