~ Creatives, I hope you take time to listen and watch other professionals in your field? I hope you pay attention to learning, unlearning and practicing?
These things help.
The older I get, the more I realize the most useful tools aren't always sold as tools.
A muffin tin can:
- Create perfectly spaced seed grids in the garden
- Hold candles safely during a power outage
- Organize screws, nuts, bolts, and small hardware during DIY projects
Not bad for something designed to make muffins.
Here are two very effective ways to recover deleted pictures (including those deleted from “recently deleted” ) from your phone and you can also delete them permanently
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
I have worked with a millionaire (in dollars) who claims he succeeded out of luck & that fool works HARDER than I (or most people I know) do - and they don’t have a drop of the kind of money he does, I literally couldn’t catch up working with the guy.
Elumelu knows that this luck thing is what Nigerians want to hear, makes us feel good - like “hey, I am where I am because I don’t have that much luck”. It maybe true. But…
…again, I will tell you this; luck is influenced by positioning and positioning is influenced by bloody work and input - plus the difference in input between people who are top on their field and everyone else is INSANE.
God’s plans for us are truly 10x better than we can ever dream and ask for.
I’ve studied Tems’ life in an anthropological way and I don’t think anyone understands how insane her trajectory is. There is no way she could have predicted this future for herself. She could have imagined or prayed for a hundred different things, and it still wouldn't touch any of what the past 5 years have been like for her.
NEW: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama gave their first joint interview nearly a decade after leaving the White House.
Thankful every day for the Obama era that brought dignity, hope, and true leadership to the White House.
Class, grace, intelligence, and role models our kids could look up to.
I will never fathom the people that try again and again to discredit or denigrate Michelle Obama. She delivers a speech that will inspire our country but the entire world. Congrats on new Obama Presidential Center.
