THE WEIGHT OF THE RIGHT ROOM

Another day to remind you about the power of association. But first, allow me to re-echo this: There are some rooms you should be in!

Yes, I know I’ve said this before, but seriously, association opens you up to a level of possibilities that is astonishing.

What you believe is possible is often shaped by the people around you. They influence not just your mind but your entire perspective, guiding how far you can see.

Recently, I connected with a friend and joined a community operating on a level way ahead of me, and it has been both overwhelming and inspiring. To be honest, it has also been depressing. 

You know that moment when you see people your age leveraging opportunities you're capable of handling, yet you're doing nothing about it? It stings deeply.

There’s a difference between hearing about possibilities from someone far away and seeing it lived out by someone close to you. That proximity makes the truth hit harder.

These kinds of moments can make you pause and ask, “What am I even doing with my life?”

But what if those hard questions and the feelings of doubt are the very things that push you toward your answers?

Most times when I ask myself that question, I tend to brush it off because the weight of it can be heavy. But I’m reminded of King Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes: “Sorrow is better than laughter, for by a sad countenance the heart is made better.”

Dear reader, my advice—which is not just for you but for myself too—is this: ask the heavy questions. Enter the rooms that sharpen your understanding, even when the truths they reveal are hard to hear. Be intentional about who you associate with.
