i think one of the healthiest things i've ever learned is that you should allow others to reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. Give people space to become who they are without assuming you know who they are just because you've been friends/family for years.
Jobs are stressful. So is unemployment. Not finding a partner is stressful. So is having one. Working in an office is stressful. So is working with your hands. Having 50 clients is stressful. So is having none. Life is full of trade-offs. Don’t romanticise options you don’t know.
I am so deeply loved by my mom, sometimes I struggle to fathom it. She’s so soft, so intentional, supportive and open-minded. God really blessed me with the right mother. I’m eternally grateful.
Ethiopia has relaunched its stock market for the first time in 50 years since it was dissolved during the country's socialist revolution. So, why this move is significant and what does it means for Ethiopian businesses? The BBC's @JewelKiriungi breaks it down.

It's really amazing how referrals work. You're just somewhere doing your thing and someone is speaking in your favour elsewhere. Special thanks to everyone mentioning our names in rooms of opportunities.
The older I get the more I realise how important it is to show up for people. We all have a thousand things to do, busy and weighed down and so it means so much more when the people you love take time to show you they love you. I really treasure it.
As someone who’s not super easygoing, I’m impressed by mental flexibility as in people who can easily adjust themselves to get along with the room. They’re not pushovers or people pleasers, they accept differences like raindrops in a sea. They’re both-and instead of either-or
