Her Sides

The world is full of wisdom if we look for it, even in the most unexpected places. As a Christian writer, I often find inspiration in both the Scriptures and everyday life experiences. In this blog post, I'd like to re-examine lessons from a post I had written a while back, which explores five essential concepts that could improve the outcome of our life journey through the lens of a farmer's wisdom and the guidance of the Bible.     1. Timing: A Lesson from the Farmer "When a field is ready, they scatter the seeds of dill and cumin; They plant the seeds of wheat and barley in the proper places." Isaiah 28:25   The farmer's story teaches us that timing is essential. Just like the farmer waits for the field to be ready before scattering seeds, we too must be attentive to the right time for our actions. "Timing is everything," as the saying goes. Whether you sense the right moment through intuition or experience, recognizing when the time is right ...

              God has placed in each of us abilities and gifts that he expects us to use impact humanity. True living comes from embracing our gifts' uniqueness and walk in our calling. Every human has a rhythm – the unique combination of inner desires and outer abilities that separates us from others. When dancing to your rhythm, others see your life's glow.   In the rush of life, it is easy to tune your song out and dance to the beats of others.

So instead, focus on your inner rhythm, this is what makes you uniquely you.    The story of Esther in the Bible is one that sums up well what happens when we align our ability to opportunities – purpose is fulfilled, not just for you but for the rest of the world. Esther’s beauty and graceful nature allowed her to move into a place of prominence as a Queen. Her position as Queen put her ...

Today we look at a guide from the bible on how to drive our career and businesses and it's one of my personal favorites - the concept of time and chance. Growing up my parents taught me that every time I happened to come across an opportunity to do something, I should do it well. I have since made it a point of duty in my career to find opportunities and recognize every assignment as an opportunity.   As I grew older, I saw another side of this time and chance concept. Someone who was absolutely not the best fit for a job was asked to do it just because they were the only ones available at the time. And that taught me another lesson—not just to be able to do things well but also to show up where and when it matters. Every employer’s dream is to have capable hands show up when it matters. There’s no point in being the best at the job if you are always unavailable. And there is also no point being at work on the day the boss needs someone to do something urgently if y...
