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.

Hi Reader! This is a repost by the way.🙈 Enjoy! Ever witnessed a heated debate about the greatest people in a field? Whether it's football, basketball, Hollywood, Kdrama or a comparison of your local universities. Of course, such an argument is to be expected when people pick favourites even among people, places, or things with great qualities. The truth is, every competitor in a “who's the greatest” debate possesses excellent attributes worth admiring and discussing. But, since only a very...
Hi Reader! Last week, I talked about expressing love and gratitude, but let's keep it a hundred, these aren't the only feelings or expressions we manage in our relationships. The closer you are to someone, the more their words and actions could hurt you because you believe they should know and do better. So how do you express hurt, anger, or disappointment without escalating the situation? Take it from someone who's been on both ends, escalating and de-escalating issues, depending on my word...
Hi Reader! Sometimes, it's hard to express how we feel to the people we hold dear. Especially when the words feel emotional, sensitive, or too mushy and cringeworthy. Your culture, environment, and upbringing will also determine your cringe and awkward metre. However, we want the people in our lives to know how much their presence, support, and consistency mean to us. Like some people, I also struggle with expressing my admiration, love, or gratitude. But I find it's easier when I localize my...
