It's interesting to see how people behave when they start feeling like you may not be able to provide some sort of monetary value to them... they just become cold.
I like to use it as a gauge. I don't even get mad. I just disengage.
If you don't teach people how to treat you, don't be shocked when they treat you the way they only know how to...
Sometimes, I want to complain about people or my struggles, etc, and then I think to myself... does this person know? Does this person care? Does this person's knowledge of that particular situation change anything, or will the outcome be different? Then, I proceed to engage and hopefully confirm my assumptions. Then, I adjust accordingly.
I read something from RamDas once that explained that one of the biggest things that stops us from self-actualization and awareness is righteousness. The need to be right. This forced me to review situations and has saved me from so many problems, but that self-awareness has also become a compass for me in relation to how I interact with people. I don't know everything, so I listen and share my thoughts where and when needed.
So I don't complain... I take it all in. Soak the stress and pressure and then shed it on my way home and then soak myself in the peace and solace I find in my family and close friends. I rest and then return to the field!
It's almost harvest season... #RoadTo40Days
It's time to rest a little! Energy will be needed for the harvest!
Dear Artiste
There's a clause that can be included in your contract that basically says "Hey,if some extraordinary bullshit happens like(Rapture,Pandemic,war, Massive Government BS) happens and we can't fulfill our duties, we aren't liable and it specifies how it'll be handled 👇

I need to pray like I need air.
A few days ago, I took stock of my life because I was unhappy and restless. I was grappling with problems I'd identified many moons before that were still there. But I wasn't gaining traction and felt like a failure.
I finally asked myself a question, "Subomi, when was the last time you felt happy?" It hit me that it was when I used to spend time with God before anything else. I would wake, pour a hot coffee and read my Bible while watching the trees and water. It was a beautiful blend of nature and Jesus.
I spent the first few hours of every day in a world filled with connection, meaning and purpose. God and I would commune and then, I would meditate uninterrupted, my mind brimming with ideas, which quickly filled my notepad. My best business and life ideas came from that place of prayer.

I started to work across time zones and then everything went to shit. I unknowingly lost my compass, anchor, and comfort as I spent my mornings in mind-numbing meetings.
Quality time with God provides the motivation I need to face this tragic, difficult, and painful world. Without this buffer, I am dealing directly with reality every day, and that was never God's plan. He very carefully placed me in a bubble, so I could draw strength. He didn't mean for me to face life without armor.
So now, I'm going back to the place of prayer. It means I will be less available and have reduced work hours. But from experience, the ideas that come from one hour in God's presence are better than hours of independent thinking.
I also like what @GodwinTom is doing with @mbaforafrica. He's not just focused on building skills in the music industry, but also ensuring there's a ready market for those skills.
Markets are EVERYTHING. Secure the offtaker, nail down your distribution and then backward integrate into skills development and products.

As an afrobeat artist working with multiple producers and listening to their materials for inspiration, it's important you know the difference between fillers and straight hot bangers(the first 15 seconds never lies) @KontentSensei
