Wealth In The Calabash

Wealth in the Calabash – The Power of Proper Planning

As one bestowed with a calabash of wealth from the Ancient one, I draw from these treasures to offer help to a dear beloved. I am not a Nollywood star, so do not think of diabolic imagery. My calabash is a treasure pot filled with wisdom for productive living. I welcome you to journey with me on this series and be a part of a life changing experience.



Today, we will dwell on the power of proper planning. In architectural practice, a dot is significant. Tiny details can be lifesaving. The engine of any great masterpiece is proper planning. Cracks and falls are not mere accidents, something was amiss during the basal procedure. For our life’s journey, the tool of proper planning gets us on the trail and makes our navigation smooth.

 

What are the essentials of proper planning? The first is knowledge. At the base of every enterprise is sound knowledge. We use the art of reading, searching, and meditating to diligently acquire useful information around our endeavors and make plans to run with it.

 

When you have acquired an idea through knowledge, you move to the next step of committing thoughts to reality through documentation. As one with a calabash, I would recommend you write with pen and paper. Applicable technological innovations are good as well. For me, there is a way my brain connects more when I write with ink. Maybe it is because my calabash has ink paintings, lol, and my neurons are wired to work that way. Documentation is an exercise that walks our brain through our emotions, will, experience and memory. Tell your friend the guy with the calabash said so. It is like a gardening walk in the cool of the day that relieves your nerves. Documentation sets an agenda for the day or task ahead of you.

 

This leads us to the next point which is discipline. Proper planning requires discipline. Mere documentation without corresponding will to pursue is like a mouse running wheel in the laboratory, it goes nowhere. Discipline starts with effective time management. Segment your portfolio into a time frame in line with your plans and stay committed to it. This part may take some time to achieve but the picture of the end goal should be a motivation. Stepwise progress is healthy. Once there is a will, there is a way!

 

The best place to create a plan is where your mind can focus. It is not so much about the location but the state of mind. As I draw this to a close, I would end with a line from my calabash – Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Proverbs 16 vs 3.

 

Until next time, stay productive!!

Plot Twist: The Heavenly Rescue

Image
In the grand theater of Heaven, where celestial bodies shine like warriors’ shields, Revelation 12 unfolds a story that rivals the greatest epics of all time. A woman, radiant as the sun, stands cloaked in light, crowned with twelve stars, laboring to bring forth a child. This is no ordinary child—He is destined to rule the nations. But in the shadows lurks a dragon. Not just any dragon, but a fiery red serpent with seven heads, ten horns, and a tail so powerful it sweeps stars from the sky. His mission? Devour the child the moment He is born. The stage is set for a cosmic showdown. The Cosmic Showdown The dragon prowls, ferocious and cunning, ready to strike. His hatred is boundless—a venomous rage against life and purpose. But just as darkness threatens to consume the moment, Heaven intervenes. The instant the child is born, God snatches Him up to His throne, thwarting the dragon’s deadly plans. And the woman? She is given wings—yes, wings of an eagle—to escape to a place of refuge p...

Making a Friendly Conversation

Image
Many years ago, I told a friend during a conversation, "You don’t know what you are saying." This might be a typical response when you are strongly opinionated and feel your view is superior to others. However, such words are condescending, diminish self-esteem, and come across as arrogant. When my friend called my attention to it, I later apologized and promised to do better next time. Speaking is an art, and we can learn the art of speaking skillfully and professionally. Here are a few strategies that I think would be helpful. Credit: Image by MabelAmber on Pixabay 1. Agree to Disagree One effective strategy is to agree to disagree. Start by appreciating their personality or viewpoint so they do not see your comment as a personal attack. For instance, you might say, "Hmm, your point actually got me thinking, and I appreciate your thought process. But don’t you think…? This is because…." This approach acknowledges their perspective, making them feel valued and int...
