Life || Career
We usually start our professional life acquiring KNOWLEDGE, school, university, et cetera,
and when this knowledge is applied, we call it a SKILL.
When you have knowledge and skills, you become professionally valuable to others and your NETWORK grows.
Consequently, when you have knowledge, skills, and a network, your access to RESOURCES expands.
And once you have knowledge, skills, a valuable network, and resources, you will undoubtedly earn a REPUTATION.
Now this law, when applied properly, can actually help in decision-making
when it comes to what to do with your career and your life.

Why?
Stop trying to win too fast.
Just because you want to show people you won.
Calm down!
– Pope
Knowing
Sometimes, the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.

The horizontal connection
1. That you’re going through a difficult situation should not stop you from helping others whenever there is a need to.
2. Don’t turn a blind eye to those in distress as long as it is in your capacity to help.
3. What you’re looking might just be lurking around, wrapped around someone in need of assistance around you.
4. People can introduce you, or share information with you. You never know who has access to what.
5. Just be ready to do for people!
– Pope
That’s not me, not what I seek
I don’t want to be the best.
I don’t want to be better than you
If I seek to be better than you,
Then, I have lowered myself to be measured by you.
Then you are the standard that I aspire to
What I want to be,
Is to be Authentic to who I am.
That makes me irreplaceable.
Because there will never be another me!
– Pope
Don’t, don’t even try
Do not compare me.
That is a trigger for me.
Make reference to case studies,
Be specific about what the other person did that you’d like me to consider or even emulate.
But,
Do not compare me with anyone!
We all have our peculiarities.
– Pope
No rush
…turn your vision into reality, one brick at a time.

Grow, evolve
At a fundamental level, we are influenced by our primal instincts.
As we progress in our evolution, we develop the capacity to filter and guide these instincts.
When someone upsets you, your initial reaction is often an emotional one.
It requires emotional maturity to move past these innate reactions and prioritize logical responses in challenging situations.
Emotional maturity allows us to step back, consider logic, and respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. It’s a key aspect of personal growth and self-control.
– Pope
The Ultimate Factor
God is the guiding force in your journey. You’re essentially a passenger on His boat.
Then a random person claims you’re running behind schedule, and you lose your peace and get fixated on their words.
Ask yourself,
Does God ever run late?
– Pope
Tick, Tock
Time is essential.
3 months is a season.
6 months should give you results.
After spending 180 days (half a year) of your life on something (or with someone) you should be checking for results or moving on.
– Pope
