Eze's Musing

The ancient, Jewish King, Solomon wrote, "A lazy hunter doesn’t roast his game, but to a diligent person, his wealth is precious." (Proverbs 12:27 CSB). This past year, I had this mental laziness and block that prevented me from fully harnessing my earnings, relationships, knowledge base, and writing inspirations. I had money decisions to make, and I knew what needed to be done but couldn't get myself to do them. I had article ideas but couldn't flesh out my thoughts. So, inflation dealt with my purchase value, my ideas got lost, and I led a basic life. I made valuable connections but couldn't put in the required effort to add value to these connections.

The very first lesson in creating and offering value is the lesson on contentment. One needs to find a sense of rest in what one has become. We should never be unsettled by what we are not. We mustn't get the recognition and get the accolades. We don't need to be the guy that fixed it.... We just have to have a contribution - a worth, a proposition.  We simply need to have done the best within the limits of our personalities, dispositions, skills and experiences provide. No matter how good the tongue is, it will not see the road block. The Sun is radiant but it won't take the Moon's place. The butterfly is cool but it can never be the honey bee.
