Sharing an article and interview today


You are always living a reflection of whatever you are outputting. And so, if you get into a little pocket where a lot of people are being rude, it's probably because you are being rude -- or because you have been aware of people being rude. Nothing ever happens to you that is not part of your vibration!"

- Esther Abraham-Hicks, is a best-selling author and speaker.

This article is an interview with the founder of the Company that I work for in Uganda

    Interesting article. I agree that large businesses should benefit from international donor funds, but not at the exclusion of the small entities. I'm sure that Victoria seeds started small and look where it is now.

    Other fledgling businesses also need that chance to prove their potential and grow until they reach a stage where they can make a positive contribution to the country's development....never forget the "little people"

    I think what she was alluding to was that the old ways of disbursing and working aid which have been used for years and years isn't working. It may not necessarily be large businesses but let's look at trade and not aid! Provide these businesses with the support, not only money to grow!

    Oh yes I agree with that. Too often people come together in groups just to get some grant funds - there is no cohesiveness, drive or vision for the future. Persons just create a business and then ask so how much money are they going to get out of it? (this "me,me" mentality is what stifles alot of potential businesses

    They write a nice project on paper, and do the necessary paper trail to get the funds and after that?....six months after all funds are disbursed, every one goes their separate way and the cause is lost or the money was not utilized in the true way that would create sustainablity, so the business continues to flounder.

    Funds can be helpful for those with a true entrepreneurial spirit, but if that support is not also there...many will continue to fall by the way-side.

    What I realise here that with a grant provider they are not in a competitive business environment so many of the challenges faced by a business or risks a business will take they are exempt from so its a safer existence! Being on the ground and seeing the challenges and triumphs gives you a different perspective! When its hard earned funds decisions are different!

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
