Vent!

More Money, More Progress.

What is this episode about? The madness that is called life, the beautiful, painful, and gorgeous experience that we live every day, encountering ourselves against people as the mirror reflection that they are.

I face myself every day. I see limitations in my being and fear mongers in my thoughts. I feel heartbreak residue in my heart, I feel the dark dust of worry and anxiety, I feel the pain of having some, not enough.

Welcome to another episode of ABLE.

"I trust myself". These words to me echo forbidden confidence in myself, the great self-critiquing accuser of all. All I have been waiting for has been waiting in my peace of mind, and I have strayed from peace of mind because of the fear of other people's opinions and expectations of me.

Self-abandonment hurts deeper than heartbreak, and that's what I feel heals when I say "I trust myself"; I am returning home.

I love dropping these episodes because they are pieces of my heart.

Welcome to the ABLE segment of the podcast.

* Talent Is Never Enough by John C. Maxwell

I'm listening to Bnxn's Captain Album. It's so good. I have a lot of my brothers, cousins, and friends around me and we speak a lot about similar things, issues, growing up situations. I figure we have the same struggles, similar ambitions, with varied individual sizes. This segment of the podcast is to speak in very clear words about how much growing up feels like for a boy, turning into a man. This is an emotional group chat for the guys. It's been brewing for a while, and now it's here.

Listen, Enjoy, Rate the podcast, and Share.

Ugh! It's been 4 years! The day before the anniversary, I was weighed down by a wave of sadness. I prayed so hard for the next day to shine its daylight, and I woke up the next day with gratitude that I can see today and feel the success and sense of achievement that comes with seeing the consistent streak of growth for this long.

I told my mom about the podcast's anniversary, and she asked me the most important question according to her: "Does it inspire people? How much impact has the podcast had over the years it has been growing?" - truthfully, I felt angry at the question because my first thought of her response was that she was giddy and happy with joy because of the news but after my intense emotions had settled i began to think and slowly come to reasoning with the question and i can say i am satisfied with the impact this podcast has on people, i am priviledged to have carried the torch of inspiration on every episode on the podcast to the benefit and expense of my personal life experience.

I am grateful for everyone who listens to the podcast, and I am grateful for everyone who shares the podcast, I am grateful for everyone who watches and observes - we are all one in the race to eternity and i believe this podcast is a statement of the life and times of myself, Asher Adanehi and the people who feel deeply connected and inspired by the expression on this podcast.

I especially want to thank Progress Ogboji, Victor Nwafor, and Lara for their brilliant conversations that stir up knowledge from deep within my soul that gently paddle me towards personal identity, success, and fulfillment.

Thank you all. I believe God has more in store for us as the journey progresses. I take this as an opportunity to know that the job is not done and there's more until infinity. This work is timeless - transcends magnitude and space. It lives forever. I am grateful to be the vessel and the way of thinking for this expression.

Love Forever,

Asher Adanehi.

My cousins are playing FIFA right now. There's Tobi on the couch, and there's Meech on the floor using my charger, there's Grant and Escobar are holding the game pads (Emmanuel) sitting at the edge of the bed. the game is going 3 - 3 at 100 minutes in extra time. I love them. I win alot of these games, alot, it's easy for me even when someone tries to play tough and head strong in the beginning, i always win the game by an outstanding amount of goals. Burna boy's Dangote is playing in the background. I need to mention that Oloche is sitting next to me on the bed.

I've been beating by life on all sides this year. i'd have loved to say something like "i have stayed strong" but the truth is I don't know how long i can stay strong anymore. I don't know if endurance is for me. I don't know if i can't give up. I am severely broke af building companies that are divine ideas and working on my music and meeting new people.

I hope this is not a downer of an episode description and i doubt if anyone ever reads this part. This is another episode that's similar to "I Thought About Quitting I Fell Sick", this time i'm in my cousin's house.

I feel like quitting. I feel like surrendering all this pain. I need help. As it stands, I am nothing, I have nothing. My Frequency Is Cocaine.

My microphone went off while i was recording this episode. I'm battling a new aspect of my past, something someone - family said about my dreams, goals and ambition out of misunderstanding. The truth is now that i write this i realize there's no need to be angry and bitter at someone because they spoke out of misunderstanding.

So why am i angry? why do i feel hatred? I did not expect more, but this is a new low. The only thing my mind has whispered to me the whole time is that "you have to rise about this". That is the only reason this happened. It's not personal, do not sink in the thought, rise, soar and swim above it. That's how you win.

"All the heavens, all the hells are within you"

It's the Seventh Month of the year 2025. This feels like a diary entry already.

I've gotten past the hurdle of trying to negotiate New Year's resolutions with the universe. I'm more into enjoying goal-setting and scoring at any point in my life and in the year.

This year has been slow, steady, and progressive. A lot of quiet days of contemplation, planning, and praying. A number of fast days full of activities, and time passing without so much eye on the clock. I've felt more pain than progress. More late nights outside than staying in, enjoying the warmth and cooking of my parents' house.

I believe this is my year of healing. I feel sown back together, i feel a large tear in my heart healing and I have to endure the itching and the aches until it is healed.

2025.
