So, I thought the traffic was fun then but I have slowly, but surely come to realize how sad it is. Anyway, we did not allow that deter our 'hustling' spirit, or better say our 'diva' spirit (according to Beyonce's definition). My business partner and I found ourselves hitting the road at early hours of the morning and coming back late at night after 'gathering' our merchandise.We would take these items for sale to offices and we did not believe we had any obstacles. Boy, did we achieve a lot!
During one of those trips to the market, we stumbled (literally) to the section where beads are sold and guess what, we found ourselves buying beads to string without having the slightest idea of what to do with them! We would stylishly ask our beads seller what some of the instruments were used for (with effizy of course, as if we just wanted to compare notes, lol), luckily for us, he would give us tips...:)
We got home, pulled some trial and error stunts and came up with different designs. That same evening, we came up with 3 or 4 sets for sale and immediately started marketing our products! Yaay!!! We sold the first two and got some promises, but we were really encouraged by the feedback( to think that we did not get any formal training in this). We were so excited!
Recalling this experience reminds me that God has given each of us gifts/talents. He has equipped us with tools we need to survive. We just need to be diligent enough to discover our various abilities and utilize them.
"The gifts God gives us are like little seeds planted inside us, but for them to grow we have to use them. This means that if you can’t identify which “Gift Seeds” God has given you, try doing new things that interest you. Through these new experiences, God will reveal more to you about who you are and how He has called you to serve Him."
Luke 19:11-27; Matthew 25: 14-30
I'll end this with one of my favorite thoughts..."where there's a will, there's a way!"
Ttyl...
