Make Yourself Available to Abundance

This year is my abundance year.


This has, by far, been one of my favourite and most abundant years.

 For the past eight years or so, I only posted on my blog about 15 times. Only fifteen times in eight years!  


I am a writer and so clearly, something was zapping my energy. This year, I re-evaluated my time. In four months alone, I have created close to 20 posts. The difference is vast.


Do you know why?


It is because this year, I gave myself to abundance. I returned to writing, and I am brimming with distinction. There is a distinguishable difference between last year and 2023.




There is a definite boundary between myself and the people who attempted to suck out my brilliance for their gain, using sly sweetness, calling it volunteering, when really it was just a vile form of control.


Manage your time better. Volunteer to only what is meaningful to you.

Make yourself available to abundance.


Abundance is indescribably delightful.


If you want to keep serving, be discerning. All of us have the spirit of discernment, it is just that we have been seared into believing that we need to say yes to everything.


God is clear that we have wisdom and that He will continue giving it in unlimited measure, as long as we ask. There is no price tag. Just ask for it and use it. Once you do apply wisdom and discernment, you will stop allowing others to control your time and your life. 


You will open your mind to abundance instead of creating a reel of how your day was awful, and how miserable you are. At the end of the day, if you are always miserable and confused, even after giving yourself to others, then that is certainly not the space for you.


 How dare anyone zap your energy, with constant beratement!

 Some people just want to control your time and intellectual resource, because they are afraid that once the world actually experiences your brilliance, they will no longer have control over you.


 They do not want you to share your brilliance with the world, which is why they create systems where they control your time.

 Think about it. You know it’s true.

Have a time limit to volunteering. Make sure that you are available to abundance, otherwise you will live in silent regret, like many people do, already. They are in systems and in groups which are tearing away at their liberty and life. They have let go of what really energises them.


Start to say No.

 

This year is my abundance year. 

I manage my time better. I volunteer to only what is meaningful to me. And even then, I put a time-limit to it. If you want to serve communities, you serve them better when you have given yourself over to abundance, create your success. 


Become wealthy. Go to bed with contentment, knowing that your success is what is truly changing lives. It is a successful, focused person with resources, who will make an impact, not the person who everyday, works to the bone and still resents the people around them.


Make yourself available to abundance. Abundance is indescribably delightful.

 


Bless!

Selective Outrage: What A Script!

Selective Outrage: What A Script!

 

After watching Selective Outrage, it would be difficult not to return to this masterpiece and jot down the many quotable quotes. Chris Rock ripped out his heart at his live performance of, ‘Selective Outrage,’ in March.





The conscientious planning, deliberate punch lines and carefully selected topics, from his children, to his social status, the state of politics and socio-economics in the U.S, his friends like Snoop Dogg, the slap and a lot more.

Chris ably allowed the audience to rethink the need for validation on social media and also reconsider a lot of the abundant victimhood in the world, currently.

The masterful way in which he infused intellect with humor, drawing attention to important issues, without pointing fingers. But just highlighting them honestly.

To imagine that the event was performed live, seamlessly, in a conversation with not only the audience but with the world.

Even with those faithful believers who would frown upon some of the word choice, it is impossible to deny that the script and meticulous planning were at such a highly impressive level.

 

When it comes to public speaking with millions of audience members all over the world, key points to consider would be to make the delivery as globally recognizable as possible. Chris Rock did that. Even if some people may not have been aware of certain incidences, the references to global issues easily gave perspective.

 

Bold colours and monochrome are recommended. The sparkling white monochrome clothes in comfortable and classy white shoes were a befitting choice, both for the audience that watched the live performance and for the viewers who watched it on Netflix, afterwards.

 

Print tends to cause a fuzziness to the eyes, for such monologues.

And the way the show ended, with a joke that punched at the most perfect moment, giving the audience enough time to soak it in as Chris also acknowledged them by raising his hands towards them, pausing enough for the applause and above all, to show his appreciation.

 

If you are a public speaker, watch it.

If you are a performer, watch it.

If you are a teacher, watch it.

If you are a politician, watch it.

If you lead teams, watch it.

Selective Outrage; written and performed by Chris Rock, an American comedian, actor and filmmaker, and directed by Joel Gallen.
