Maximizing Relationships, Resources, and Opportunities
|
Hi Reader! We have all that we need to be 1% better today, and repeat tomorrow. We just dislike the idea of starting small, asking for help, looking scrappy and enduring the hard things. We want the posh appearance, the expensive gear, the mainstream mentors, the huge capital.. So when someone asks you why you haven't started yet. You have a lot to say. “I don't have money. I don't have a good camera. I can't afford the course. I'm not this, I'm not that..” We love pointing to all that we lack. But I've come to learn that even at our humblest points, we can underutilize what we have because it doesn't fit what we've imagined. Have you ever had a conversation with a friend and got some wisdom? Watched a YouTube video and learned something practical? Prayed and felt peace? Read a book that changed your perspective? Sometimes, it's the wisdom of your younger sibling that'll get you past a tough spot, a sermon or an article that will help you move the needle. Don't ignore the small steps you can take as you wait for the bigger elements to align in your favour. The research on YouTube, the strategy on a document, the first posts, the small business model, the wise friend or family member with deep insight, the close community willing to offer a little help, the books you can borrow. Everything adds up. Pray for wisdom and discernment to recognize the help that's in front of you. There's always something or someone you currently have access to that will move you further along. Are you maximizing resources, opportunities, and relationships? Alright, that'll be all for now, until next Friday. Light & Increase, Osose Christabel.

Friday Cogitations
As the week winds down, Friday Cogitations invites you to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and shape your future through the lens of faith, hope, and your unique journey.
Hi Reader! A close friend (who’s probably going to read this😉) and I had a brief conversation earlier this week. She asked a content-related question, and afterward asked how work has been for me this week. I answered and asked how it has been going on her end. She responded and added, "So this is what we talk about now😂." As we grow older, our priorities and the amount of work we need to actualize our dreams become glaring and take up a greater portion of our lives. But I believe life should...
Hi Reader! I tend to avoid making someone uncomfortable (by initiating a difficult conversation), even when something they did made me uncomfortable, especially when it’s a subtle or sensitive situation. I’m consciously working on that (I still struggle sometimes😭). I try to resolve it internally, but it doesn’t always work. And when it doesn’t, two things happen - either a growing resentment because of unaddressed issues or an uncontrolled moment of outburst due to overwhelming unresolved...
Hi Reader! Humans love conditions. We love outcomes. “I’ll do this if they do that”. “I’ll only go out of my way if I get so and so benefit”, and honestly? Sometimes, we need conditions, especially in work environments, because humans will take advantage of things, processes, and people if there are no boundaries whatsoever. But if a satisfying outcome is the only metric that inspires your decision, would that be an authentic way to live? What if you did things because that’s who you are (or...
