What Do You Do with the Opportunities that You’ve Been Given?
Hello there! It’s been a few weeks since my last blog post. Sending my apologizes for not keeping up. Between work, home, social media posts, and expanding my biz life got a little busy. I can say that I’ve been sharing words of wisdom and encouragement on my IG and FB pages. If you’re needing some support and positivity head over and like Professor Epps.
Now back to the subject at hand: Opportunities. Opportunities are circumstances that arise and make something else possible. Opportunities are vast and varied. Opportunities include additional time, promotions, leadership, and more.
I was talking with my mother a couple of days ago about the students of Morehouse College that had their student loans paid off. We discussed what a blessing that was and how that opportunity can set the foundation for those gentlemen’s freedom.
What opportunities have you received this year? What opportunities are you manifesting that lead toward freedom? Over the last 2 months I have received multiple requests to speak at workshops and on podcasts. Let me be real with you….it felt nice to be wanted, especially after the cancellations of events due to COVID-19. My spirit was ignited when I received the e-mails. However, I did get discouraged because I couldn’t attend them all and honestly, I didn’t want to say yes to each opportunity.
I teach protecting your peace and living intentionally. I believe in mindfulness and knowing your “why”. Every opportunity does not require or deserve a yes. Every opportunity does not lead you into the path of possibility, truth, or freedom. If “it” doesn’t uplift you or bring light, it’s not for you.
When you aren’t sure if you should say yes to new opportunities, take 15-30 minutes and jot down a pros and cons list. If your pros outweigh your cons you have your answer.
Live in truth. Live in peace. Live with intention. What God has for you is for you. Saying NO to 1 opportunity, opens your spirit to a bigger YES.
I have included a “Yep/Nope” Pros and Cons list for you. If you know who E-40 is or if you’re on TikTok you know the Yep/Nope challenge. Play E-40’s song, Choices and ask yourself some yes/no questions while you complete your pros and cons list. This is a lighthearted way to obtain clarity on those big opportunities or decisions. If you’re feeling “extra” you can make your 1st or 50th TikTok.
