In this episode, I share a Hausa proverb from my childhood in Northern Nigeria, with a different explanation for our busy lifestyles today. Hausa is spoken in many African countries, and the folk tales from Africa often have important lessons. I am not very good with languages, so feel free to comment and correct my Hausa, if needed. We can choose happiness over stress by being intentional about how we spend our time and resources, counting the long-term cost of any decision and being flexible to change and retrace our steps when we know better. I have also shared an AI-generated explainer bonus podcast based on this podcast titled, The Wealth of Presence. Feel free to share your thoughts via Afiniki.co.uk. Have a great week!
