A few minutes back,
I was interacting with someone on the link between alcohol consumption and poverty amongst our people here.
The statistics are so overwhelming in favour of staying away from alcohol if you want to keep some change in your pocket!
(I hope you are aware of these statistics)!

In our back-and-forth interactions,
It hit me how important knowledge is and how vital it is to, to have knowledge of something.
Another vital thing is using this knowledge you have got, right?

So many people make decisions in their lives every day, that either keep them alive or get them dead!
How would it be though, if we all made the best decisions we could, given the best knowledge at our disposal?

We would all love to get an extra buck here and there.
We must be careful not to get hurt or get other people hurt, though, simply because of a bad decision we made, out of being misinformed or under-informed!

I say, “do all you do – more aware”!
What do you say?
I think this is a great way to look at things. I know I make decisions all the time that are spur of the moment and without thinking about them.
😳😳 easy there, girl!
Interesting way to look at life. Awareness is key to correcting your own actions.
❤️🙏🏽
I say we all need to take responsibility and make decisions based on experiences and knowledge. Perhaps an issue is some aren’t afforded the knowledge due to social-economic circumstances?
👍🙏🏽
In my experience, you’ll only do more when you’re aware of what’s going on around you.
👍🙏🏽
It’s hard to overcome alcohol addiction without the support of a community. I agree that knowledge is important, but perhaps even better would be to have people around you that care.
👍🙏🏽
Self awareness is so important to making better decisions.
👍🙏🏽
I think we live in a society where people just act without thinking. It is good to be more aware and put thought into what we do – be more intentional.
👍🙏🏽
The world will be a better place if everyone has self-awareness and awareness of the community around them. This is the best way to look at life, in my opinion.
👍🙏🏽
Having knowledge of things is very important and we all need to work on growing our knowledge. Thank you for sharing!
👍🙏🏽
Inspiring post that encourages self-reflection and mindfulness. It is a reminder to be present in every moment. Great perspective!
👍🙏🏽
Thought provoking piece! I can relate because in my part of the world also this applies. I suppose good decision making can be inculcated by the parents from the getgo.
👏🏿👍
Making decision is always the key point in life, but a person’s awareness and knowledge to support the decision making is much more important. So bad people are mostly not good at those ingredients.
😭👍
Yes, knowledge is king in making decisions – and we all learn from our bad decisions only if we survive them.
👍🙏🏽
What a wonderful post that reminds us to step back and really consider the fact that we are living! To live consciously is the best way to do it, I think this kind of mindset often gets lost in the business of life.
👍🙏🏽
I just read your article about being more aware in daily life, and I wanted to say it really struck a chord with me. Your reminder to savor the small moments is so important in our busy lives.
👍🙏🏽
lack of awareness is one of the main things that causes problems. The more aware you are, the better you do in general.
👍🙏🏽
Your post beautifully emphasizes the importance of knowledge and informed decision-making, particularly in relation to alcohol and its impact on poverty. It’s a powerful reminder to make choices that benefit us and others. Well said!
👍🙏🏽
I think you are right, and we should start making decisions more carefully. But it looks like people just don’t care because they don’t have time, energy or desire.
😭😭
Absolutely, knowledge is power, and it’s crucial to make informed decisions, especially when it comes to important matters like alcohol consumption and its impact on our lives and finances.
👍🙏🏽
I think being underinformed can have dire consequences. It’s important to know as much as you can before making certain decisions, that’s for sure good advice.
👍🙏🏽
Most of the time we do make decisions that are thought of and rational, however sometimes circumstances come when you have to make on the spot decisions and these sometimes catch you out.
🙏🏽👍
great way to look at things thanks for sharing
👍🙏🏽
Awareness is so important, we all need to be present and pay attention. This will keep us honest and from hurting others
👍🙏🏽
Intention & Awareness – key to good decision making! Very well explained.
👍🙏🏽
I think far too much about my decisions if anything. I’m not good at being spontaneous, specifically when it comes to finances or making money decisions. I overthink things until the cows come home.
😂😂🙏🏽
I agree it is always important to try & be aware of your actions and possible outcomes of those actions. Great post, it really gets you thinking and is a good topic to cover.
👍🙏🏽
Alcohol can be expensive, and if you struggle with alcoholism, it’s not a good idea to mix it with poverty. Be aware of your actions and think long-term.
❤️👏🏿
It is very important to use the knowledge you have. I tend to stop and think most times before I act. It seems to work best for me.
❤️👏🏿
A very insightful post. Awareness is important. We must think before we act.
❤️👏🏿
