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! People are always quick to point out how important discipline is and how motivation is overrated. I argue that motivation is the first step to becoming more disciplined. You need a clear picture in your mind of what you desire, so much that you're willing to endure the disciplines it'll take to materialize that image. Humans don't just embrace discipline. We're motivated by so many things, and I believe it's important to examine our motivations to understand what's really driving...
Hi Reader! One thought that has consumed my mind as I'm figuring out life and adulthood is the kind of person I want to be. How do I want people to remember their encounter with me? A few things come to mind, and I’ll highlight one today. Growing up, I've always been among the “smart and outgoing” kids. You know those kids who get decent grades, speak or perform confidently in public, write and memorize well. But in university, especially after graduating, I quickly realized that whatever I...
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...
