You need people, you need friends, companions or whatever Circle to leap you. No one man has ever achieved success alone, I don't know if you have your own proof to counter this but at some point someone always steps in to enlighten dark moments. You might start alone, no arguments yet it comes a time of friction and the demand for external wheels is inevitable. I keep on saying this over and over; 'No matter the problem a man has, connection can solve it'---dani-asi. Be it natural or supernatural, we are talking of connection here.
Why many of us find life very difficult is because we are yet to find the right people. That someone that is ready to sponsor that idea that others call crazy, that someone who is willing to see you grow even if it will take him time and resources to make it a fruition. Life is a chain of upward pulling although the majority are ignorant of this. I have seen someone fail with capital in his pocket and I have also seen someone fail because there was no capital. To simply put, the knowledgeable needs capital support and the well capitalized needs knowledgeable support and to achieve this it will take people.
Who you meet affects your future

I am always on the hunt to find those individuals or groups of persons that can positively affect my life. note, it is not ALL people you meet that will support you financially; information can change your entire life. It's only a pity a lot of people are always after those that give them financial support but fail to understand there is even more if only you are willing to demand. The 'teach me how to fish' is more prioritized by me. I heard one story of someone making another a financial promise and getting close to the day of that promise the person died; perhaps he should have been more concerned about how the person makes the money.
Some of us miss groundbreaking opportunities just because we don't know we've met our life changer. That's where humility always plays a huge part. Applying the secret of 'time and chance' carefully can end your long years of suffering. As an entrepreneur, I have to be ready for every moment. The question of 'what can you offer?' always pops up like a child's play and is followed by 'take my number'. From my experience, I have met business clients who have patronized my business through this process. I have seen a man in which one contract ended his years of struggles courtesy of meeting with a destiny helper. When someone senses your level of humility backed with a skill or qualification, you are good to go. It's all about you always being prepared for a change.
Where you are affects your future

To be very sincere with you, I don't especially like overcrowded environments that have nothing to offer. That's why some of my friends may feel I am a ghost as I once in a while pop in and out of such places. I can't stand any toxicity in a world in which we are all in a countdown. The web2 environment was not really my thing. No doubts others have succeeded there, I guess we all have where we blend. Even as we speak, one web2 media I use daily is WhatApp because of some level of privacy( hoping they'll keep it long enough). Expressing myself more started when I joined Hive. After I found out the level of information, knowledge and reward that is jam packed here, it triggered my dying potential.
Iron sharpen iron, a creative environment will eventually make you creative. The question of 'how can I be of benefit and also benefit from this platform' pushed me to become better. Of course I met people who from their years of knowledge and writing inspired me to continue reading and writing. My life changed, I saw the needed improvements I had longed for a while. My love for tech was retriggered and I am working to become even better. We all have potentials lying still until we meet the right people who take us to the right place. There are opportunities everywhere, and trust me you may not be able to reach many through personal research. I had been making several of such but never considered web3 or even found Hive in the process. So you see what I mean here; there are people who go ahead of you for you.
To conclude, let me add, no matter how big a dream is, you will need eye opener individuals, motivationers and supporters to thrust you. Most times it's not about perfection, don't let anyone deceive you; favor is real. Trusting wholly in hard work and grinding is not enough At some point, burden easeners must step into your life, it's called 'midas touch' where the flourishing is triggered. I am not saying you should relent or remain idle; nevertheless, understanding time, seasons and the interconnection we have as humans will be a needed hedge. Keep your hustle positive yet never be ignorant that the change you need will come from somewhere.
