That mindset of abundance is so liberating. And I think that there's a need for more conversations to be had around it especially for people who grew up hearing that rubbish Yoruba saying that translates into 'if somebody's not unfortunate, then another person cannot be fortunate' (such a disgusting statement 🤮). A lot of people actually believe that, and it's so sad to see. It's why people are afraid to share opportunities with their friends because they're afraid that they'll get ahead of them or feel happiness when people don't get whatever it is that they are chasing at any point in time (someone who gets ahead of you would light your path, boo. Maybe not all the time, but still. Plus, I feel more sad if a friend and I go after anything if the two of us don't get it than if only one of us does not get it, even if that one person is me).
I believe that the sky is big enough for any and every bird to fly. And although chopping Ls tend to be daunting, I just tell myself that 'God created the heavens and the earth. Surely, in all that vastness, there's a place for me, someone for me.
And yes, that verse, it's one of my favorites in the whole Quran 😊
'God created the heavens and the earth. Surely, in all that vastness, there's a place for me, someone for me...'
I relate so much with this actually. Paraps I should hand over this newsletter to you so I can go on holiday 😂 😂
But on a serious note, thank you Omolewa. Comments like this not only encourage me to write but make the posts more valuable for other members of the community.
I agree with the simulating nighttime thing, it makes it wayyy easier to focus
Omo the abundance mindset is really a good one to have, but sometimes it's hard to think like that sha but I guess we have to keep striving to. And verse, very reassuring 🥺
Thank you Hameed. PS: I really want to know more of your thoughts and opinions on things asides in your newsletters🥺
Fam it is easy to talk (write) about these things but reminding yourself of them in the moment is super difficult. But we no get choice so we have to strive.
To be honest I am not really active on social media rn so this newsletter is my main means of sharing my thoughts and opinions. 😅
