By income bracket, i mean, your financial level determined by your regular income. The amount of money available to you for your day to day expenses. This will determine how you live. It determines the kind of environment you live in, the kind of food you eat, the kind of clothes you wear, the kind of comfort you are exposed to and the quality of life you live. If you cannot afford it, you cannot have it. Not everybody live the same quality of life because not all are in the same income bracket. When you go shopping, you see some things you like and want, but look away because you cannot afford it, while others have such things in their store they have used and discarded. You get my point. I go out and see the way people spend, some don't look at the price of products, they pick what they want, no matter how expensive, present their debit cards to the cashier, pay and walk out, not in the least bothered by how much they spent. Others dare not do same. They are limited financially. 

Your income bracket can either be a prison or an extravagant hotel filled with all the luxury of life. You want to wear it, but you can't afford it, you want to go there, but you can't afford it, you want to eat it, but you can't afford, you want it, but can't have it. That is a prison or how else do you define imprisonment ? To want it and be able to acquire it without feeling the pinch is a life of freedom. Many, out of desperation for this kind of life do many bad things to have it. I do not advocate this. The end of such is always bitter. 

Without treading the evil path, simply obeying certain rules can give you this life of freedom. The truth is, if your regular income as a family man or woman in this present world is not in the 6 or 7 figures, especially in my country Nigeria and others, life will be hard for you. This is why many live from one month to another month on debts. Start with the cost of feeding, add the cost of car maintenance, water and basic daily house necessities, TV and phone subscriptions monthly, power supply, children and families upkeep (if you have old parents and other dependants), clothing, school fees and other children education needs, recreation, etc. No need to waste time supplying you with cost statistics. We all live in this world and are familiar with what I am writing of. To do all these to your taste and not to feel the pinch, to be free to live to your satisfaction and still have excess; if your regular income is not in the 6 or 7 figure, you cannot have it. Many have accepted their fate and keep away from the good life they wish. Others live it just like breathing. Just visit some homes and see how comfortable they are. Go to restaurants and see some spend the equivalent of someone's one month salary on food. 

THE WAY OUT

I have short motivations that can help you move to the income bracket you desire. Access my short motivations page and go through them all. I should be adding more motivations to the page from time to time, just as I also add more to this blog page. Keep checking the two pages and others. Now go and read them all. Feel free to leave your comments below. 

Only children recently born into a world of rechargeable light, solar and modern power supply options whose parents are rich enough to afford them might not be familiar with the candle. The candle is a stick of wax with a wick in the middle. The wax is made of certain substances that can burn, as it burns, it melts until it can no longer maintain the flame and the fire dies. The candle gives light, but only for a limited period of time. It has its lifespan. The candle is given the chance to burn and make use of the opportunity while it lasts, but the fact that a time will come when the chance will be gone and the fire will go out. Assuming you own the candle and you know this; If you are wise, you will do all you need to do (cooking, eating, cleaning, fixing things, etc,) while the candle is burning before the fire goes out, because once the light goes out, you will be left with only what you achieved while the light was on. 

The same applies to life. You have only one lifetime; not two, not three, not four, etc. Once you leave this world, you are never coming back, unless you are a spirit that can appear and dissappear. The race starts from birth and ends in death, which can be anytime, hope you live long. Your childhood is dependent on others, they raise and determine the direction you should go. 16 years already gone from your candlelight. From 16years old, you are given the chance to start thinking on your own and start running the race of life. You must fix many things in your life before the candle burns out and you can't run anymore. If you maximise the time you have and make the most of it, you might never notice your candle burning out due to your achievements. If your food is ready and eaten, you are already done and ready to sleep, to hell with the candle burning out. You are already satisfied. The period you were given to run in life before the light goes out, is enough for you to achieve all you can, all things being equal. What do I mean ? If things are allowed to run their normal course without any unwanted interruptions, most people would have achieved all they wanted by 40 years old. Unfortunately, these unwanted and unplanned for interruptions have slowed many down, or even ensure they never achieve. When I planned my life years back, I had great expectations, but unforeseen circumstances changed all that. If that has not been, you won't just be hearing of me. I am yet to taste a great part of my desires. Fortunately, my candle is still on and I am still running, i still have some years left. 

Yes, I understand unforeseen circumstances you have no control over can slow you down, I speak from experience. At times, when I look back and at myself now, I say sadly "this is not the way I planned it, nevertheless, I will keep running". This is not peculiar to me, many have far worse stories to tell, yet today they are celebrated. 

The rule is this, NEVER STOP RUNNING ! Let the light be inside you and not outside you. All you need is the understanding of how to beat the opposition, for you will have them in abundance. This world is not a football field, but a wrestling contest where real blows and punches are landed, a survival of only the strong and the wise. 

GET UP AND FIGHT ! 

Do all you can do, in a good way, to achieve your goals while the light is on. Give it all it takes. I had read loads of books on various subjects and researched several subjects even before I graduated from the university in the 90s. Many of the things I write or speak about today, I learnt over 30 years ago. Many books people celebrate today, were books I read in the 90s. When things became rough, the knowledge I already have came to my rescue, even in spiritual issues. 

THE RULE IS THIS, YOU MUST KNOW WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE CANDLE BURNS OUT. 

This is one major reason for motivation. Knowledge serve several purposes, one of which is to help you navigate troubled waters and not drown. My reader, the candle will burn out for you one day, the clock is ticking, let's talk.
