THE PURSUIT OF LOVE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN

When it comes to the pursuit of love and everything else in between that one might find themselves lacking in, I’ve since come to realise that the embodiment of what is needed is the surest way to come about acquiring it. This is something I touched upon a couple of months ago over on my Instagram in a post where I talked about “The Art of Being”. The art of being happens to be one of the many life lessons I picked up a few years ago. It basically means being what you desire. For example, if you desire love, you have to first learn to give love to yourself and those whom you encounter. You cannot receive what you do not give. The qualities you desire, you can attract by embodying them; the art of being.

The truth is that the world is full of abundance even if it may not be reflected in your life at this very point in time. There is sufficient, if not plenty to go around. But often times some folks want to hold on to everything they have and know. It really isn’t about the material things that one might possess. Knowledge and many good things in life that aren’t always tangible can easily be extended towards others at no cost. The most generous people I know, never seem to be lacking. They share their knowledge with me, and I too return the favour while also passing said knowledge along to other folks who might need it. And that’s how the cycle begins.

Granted, some people might take advantage of your generosity and not pay if forward, but they won’t compare to those who truly benefit from it, which includes yourself. For that which you have freely given will be returned to you in more ways than you can ever imagine.

If you find yourself only giving to those who can return the favour to you then you’re going about it the wrong way as that is a quid pro quo and one that has certain personal advantages which can sometimes be born out of selfishness. Like I mentioned earlier on, embodying that which you seek is the surest way to acquiring it.

A good and personal example for me would be sharing all the knowledge I’ve acquired in succeeding in the influencer industry in my “Coffee Diaries” series over on Youtube. Something that came about because I struggled to find anyone sharing anything valuable that could really benefit me. While navigating my way through it all, I picked up a few things and made sure to share it and still do. How have I been rewarded you might ask? Well, other bloggers and influencers alike who have benefited from my knowledge sharing have gone ahead to suggest and refer me to brands for paid work. I can honestly tell you I am never lacking in terms of the latter. It’s safe to say at least 98% of my paid work is inbound as opposed to me reaching out. And all I had to do was the be very thing I sort after.

Like I said (and still believe) in a few blog posts ago, 2020 is a year of self discovery. If you’re lucky enough to be reading this post and find yourself taking an introspective approach which is something I always encourage, then now is as good as anytime to identify the things you’re lacking in and desire, and start giving it to yourself and others around you. You absolutely have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you find that this approach (all things considered) works for you.

And so, I challenge you to start being. And soon enough, being will become you.
