- I used to hate my family
I used to hate my family
But I had a reason.
When I started this journey on X I had a clear roadmap.
Hit 10k followers
Make 10k/month
Move to Dubai
That’s how I saw this opportunity for months.
The reason?
YouTube videos brainwashed me.
I’d “work” in the morning and then watch a podcast or a “7 new businesses you should launch in 2023”.
I wanted to show my uncle and aunts how wrong they were for treating me as a kid.
I was convinced.
I have my life shifted into the “I have enemies” mode.
My anger was my energy.
And I’d stay alone watching my videos, eating my bread, and working on my business.
But it led me nowhere.
Staying alone made me weak.
And I’d hate things like going out or going to events.
I wanted to succeed and make my first million so I could prove to everyone I was wrong.
But it was eating me from the inside.
This anger was too much for me.
And I kept acting that way for almost a year.
Until I went back to my hometown at the beginning of August.
From there, my anger became toxic for me.
I felt stupid not living in peace with my family.
Business wasn’t going well either.
I was following the trends like a fool.
So I decided to take the big step.
In October, I came across Hamza again.
It was very peaceful to listen to him.
And he made me think about something I never questioned before.
Community.
That’s how I started thinking about it.
That’s how I started to live with my family peacefully.
And I switched off this anger in me.
I had no more enemies now.
I didn’t owe anything to anyone.
And Dubai isn’t the only place I can live for my entire life.
It’s a decision that takes a lot of time to make.
The lesson I want to share with you is simple.
The best way to beat your enemies is to make them your allies.
And it took me years to understand.
The more enemies you have, the harder your life is.
More problems.
More anger.
More enemies.
Make your enemies your best allies.
Build a community.
And take care of your family.
Because if you can’t do it, nobody will.
