Tributaries And Rivers 1 [The Law Of Honor Series]

Trubutaries are rivers or streams that flow into a larger river or lake. In other terms a tributary carries contents to deposit them in a larger body of water, in some sense the tributary empties itself into the large river. 

To get a better understanding it is important to note the following :

Rivers have always been important to people. In the olden times, people settled along the banks of rivers, where they found fish to eat and water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

Later, people learnt that the fertile soil along rivers is good for growing crops. The world’s first great civilizations arose in the fertile flood plains of the Nile in Egypt, the Indus in southern Asia, the Tigris and the Euphrates in the Middle East, and the Huang (Yellow) in China.

Rivers in this way were a clear source of life and proximity to them meant a better quality of life. Today I want to use the Amazon River to drive my main point home, the Amazon is the second longest river in the world and has  1100+ tributaries.

The length of a river is at often times influenced by the number of tributaries that flow into it....( Please pay careful attention) 

The more "streams" of income you have, the longer the main river will be...i hope this makes sense... If you only have one source of money(stream) and that stream dries up for whatever reason your river (lake) will be empty. And a dry river means that all the species and vegetation that live in or rely on the river also "die" sooner or later. 

This means the following :

1 .Your family will be hungry.. 

2. Your employees will be laid off.. 

3.Your business will go bankrupt.. 

4.Your belongings will be sold. 

5.Your lifestyle will take a big "knock out". 

(The list is endless, but what I am pointing out to is that everyone who previously benefitted from your "river" will be negatively impacted) 

Money in this case is the water flowing from the tributary to the main river, so the more streams you have the longer the river and the larger the volume of its contents will be. Every stream of income, is a tributary in the sense that it con-tributes to our wealth /net worth. Just like the water in large rivers comes from much smaller streams it but plays a major role in its growth and expansion. 

The wealthiest individuals get themselves involved in many projects/ideas as a way to grow. The secret to financial growth is learning from others and applying what you learnt in your own life. One thing I have learnt is that most individuals who only have  one income stream do not accumulate wealth but instead accumulate debt. Ask anyone you know who has one income stream if they built their home or bought their car cash, or through bonds and loans from banks...

I am not saying having one source of income is bad but imagine what a 100  streams can do for you.. Just imagine. 

Those who build empires and leave behind legacies know that a 100 streams is 99% better than one stream.My question is do you want to build an empire or not ? Money surely is not everything but having it in abundance will lead to financial freedom.. 

Financial "freedom" is when you are "Free" to do what you desire with your time and you no longer have to "sell" all your time to the highest (or lowest) bidder. You will truly own your time.. also if I may ask.. 

why do you think we have always been forced to go to school, Is the whole point not to get money? 

You can argue and say we go there  to learn about our passions and to learn social skills or whatever..(knowledge)

(1)If you had a billion dollars would you still do things you DON'T want to do? 

Yes/No 

(2) what will we do with the knowledge? .We Sell it for money to anyone willing to pay. That is why there are people studying things they don't like and working jobs they hate, with people they hate.. All for money. But if you can have plenty streams you may no longer have to work a job you don't like only to earn peanuts whilst the "bosses" take the bigger share.... You can be your own boss!! And you can build a legacy. 

Bob Proctor in one of his videos  spoke about something he called "The Money Frequency", He said there is no limit to what one can earn. Furthermore he went on to explain that we need to act like the person we want to become (The Law of attraction). So if I want to be worth a BILLION dollars, I have to study and research individuals who have reached my goal.. Then do what they did... and one of the things the wealthiest indivuals in the world today have is MULTIPLE "STREAMS" OF INCOME, in other words multiple tributaries. 

Lastly I would like to echo this statement again "Money is NOT everything" but having it in abundance is GOOD, for it is our medium of exchange... And if it seems like I am "pro-capitalist" , it is because I am.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
