In this episode, we talk about one more perspective in life that will help us to overcome discouragement. Listen to this.

Despite the passion and the dedication to music, despite knowing that her vision is to facilitate healing through music, at some point in time Price Love considered giving it up altogether. She even considered suicide.
Listening to her story, you learn quite a bit about gifts and talents, family, purpose, passion, work as well as resilience. This is one of my favorite episodes because we are soothed in there by her wonderful music from the "Adungu", a traditional musical instrument in Uganda.
You really want to listen to this.

All humans of all walks of life will experience discouragement. As already discussed in the previous episode, discouragement is a merchant of death, sapping out the life off many peoples and pursuits.

A lot that shouldn't have been lost has been because of discouragement. I could easily say that discouragement is a merchant of death, not just the physical death but death of projects, ideas, relationships, etc.
It kills momentum and slows us down. The interesting thing is that the discouragement could be an illusion. Whether real or illusionary, we have to learn to deal with it. Listen to this.

In life, as long as you are human, even though you protect yourself from it, discouragement will always waltz itself into your life. As such, we have to be aware of it and prepare ourselves accordingly.
The easiest way of fending off discouragement is to not get involved in life, lack passion, direction and purpose...even then you can't escape it. People of purpose will be discouraged. How do we handle it? Listen to this.

What makes this world move is connections. Close connections such as friendships can easily be taken for granted but when they aren't there, we miss so much.
In purpose pursuit, we need as much help and connections as we can get. So as we keep moving on in life, it is not only good to offer friendship but to receive it too. Here are some of the advantages of friendship in purpose pursuit.

There are different laws of life, the universe and nature. Certainly, the laws of humanity are different from those of the wild. One of such laws is the law of connection: the world is structured in such a way that we compliment each other.
That's why we have friends. We get very many advantages from our friends even as we pursue our purpose. Here is but one of those many benefits. Listen to this.

Amos Wekesa of Great Lakes Safaris brought Gerald's story to my attention when he highlighted it on Facebook. I went down to his workshop to have a chat and was greatly inspired. I still am even as we continue keeping in touch.
Childhood play and passion can be taken for granted, but from Gerald's story, I have reason to believe that the passion is installed in us for life. As a child, what you are passionate about might find no relevance in life, at least the way it has been structured by Status Quo.
In this conversation, we learn the importance of passion, persistence as well as "divine connections" in the pursuit of our purpose in life. Listen to this.

We cannot be self sufficient in doing life. No matter how much we want it, self sufficiency is not a principle of life. Life is structured in such a way that we will always need each other.
Friendships therefore are a crucial life ingredient. The deeper the friendships we have, the more vibrant our lives become. If you wanted to know the level of your friends, check them using this simple yardstick. Listen to this.

"Friend". A term thrown around so loosely these days. In the days past, a friend wasn't a "follower" on social media or someone with a profile online with clout.
For some wonderful reason, friendships are indeed a pillar of humanity the whole world over. Jesus Christ himself in reference to his purpose called those who helped him "friends". Think about that. So how many do you have? How many have you? Listen to this.

You will be amazed that it is possible to connect everything you own, all the achievements you have made as well as the pain you have experienced to friendships.
Daily, either directly or indirectly, our lives are being shaped by the company we keep. It is therefore critical to take into consideration the quality of the people around us. Listen to this.

We live in an interconnected world. The human being is a social animal. We depend on one another. If we were deprived of friends, our lives won't be the same.
That's why one of the most sinister ways to punish a human is to send them to solitary confinement. In our purpose pursuit, friendships are critical. Let's explore that in the new series.

The fact that I need you for one thing or another doesn't mean that you are any less than I am. The fact that we need each other doesn't mean that we are deficient.. it's simply how the world is structured to operate.
As such, subtle connections in life are very powerful in our purpose pursuit. There are quite a number of advantages that accrue from this. In the episode today, I summarize about five benefits of subtle connections. Listen to this.

I just had an engagement with a consultant. They understand what to do but they don't have the time to focus on what's not their core function. That's why they needed my services.
I got back home and the mechanic had to help me with my car. It took them less than five minutes to fix something that made me look for alternative means of transport.
As you can see, we need each other's strengths to compliment our purpose pursuit. Here is why subtle connections are important. Listen to this.

One of the ways to identify your passion and purpose is adversity. Patricia Opio has a powerful and inspiring story. Her brand, "This is Me" is born out of the ashes of her life and now it is a story of 'beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning and peace for despair".
I had a chat with her and was blown away by her story. I am sure you will be inspired. Listen to this.

At times you have an idea or a project that in your estimation, it you were to do it alone, it would take you decades to pull it off. And then a subtle connection comes your way and propels you to complete it in record time.
That's one of the advantages of subtle connections in life. We look at that aspect in this episode drawing from the life of Steve Jobs and Jesus Christ. Listen to this.

As sure as we are all alive each day, we need each other in varying degrees. When I talk about needing each other, Many people take it from the angle of receiving, and not giving.
The giver is not any better than the receiver for the giver is a receiver in another capacity. That's how our world functions. There are various advantages of subtle connections in our lives. Here is one more advantage. Listen to this.

I have belaboured the point that we all need connections in our lives. There are many advantages for connecting, but we have to realize that the very structure of the universe shows that life works through interdependence.
In this episode, we take a look at one advantage of connections in our lives. Listen to this.

Nepotism, tribalism, cronyism etc stand on one side while "Merit" stands on the other. We preach merit all day long and preach against connections with disdain. Is that in order?
Whether we like it or not, we are living in a universe that chiefly operates on connections more than on merit. If anything, connections are a foundational principle of how the world works. Listen to this.

We don't have to see the whole staircase before you get started to climb. In life, you might not have everything in place before you can do something major... and that's how we get stranded.
That's why we need to leverage the most of connections in our lives. However, the connections we are looking for are themselves waiting for us to be in motion and be in position to effect the connection. Listen to this.

One of the most powerful things about the universe, it's structure and way of operation is dependence on parts. Every whole has a part. That's just the structure of how things work.
That's why we should not feel guilty when we seek to get connected to others. And and of ourselves, we cannot succeed in our purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

We err when we think that the Most enlightened thing we can do is to work on our weaknesses until we become complete and all rounded. By the time we get there, we are already average and just spread too thin
The world is instead structured in such a way that we make the most of other people's strengths and passions so that we can concentrate and develop ours. We therefore need connections for this to happen. Listen to this.

Mark Gungor makes a hilarious illustration about men and their brains. That they are made up of little boxes each containing one thing that can only be accessed one at a time...and that the boxes don't touch.
Then there are women's brains. Everything is connected to everything... including the most unrelated things...and dates. That's exactly how life is. Everything is connected and that is why you need the power or subtle connections in your life. Listen to this.

Look around you. I believe that whatever you see doesn't stand alone without there being a need for connecting. In fact chances are that without connecting, nothing really happens.
That's true with our lives too. We need connections not because we want to circumvent merit, but because we cannot survive and thrive without connecting. Listen to this.

No man is an island. We thrive through connections. Stephen R Covey taught us crucially about independence, dependence and interdependence. Those are three critical levels of connection that we need in life.
When I talk about subtle connections, I am talking about what we do not have control of but what connection that can multiply our value and vision exponentially. How do we position ourselves to get the best out of this connection? Listen to this.
