It's not so bad, you can figure this out. (Even without a phone)

Tomie and phones Whew...that's like a match made in heaven NOT If you ask my husband, he'll say 'We need to build a phone whose screen can't break (even if you smash it on a rock), is water resistant, won't ever have issues with voice speakers and has, at least, a 20 yr warranty.' Lol This week was a tad frustrating. My house didn't get flooded (Due to heavy rainfall, we experienced a flood in some areas in Lagos last weekend), but my phone fell into water. I couldn't make any calls , post on Instagram or do anything (funny how our phones define our lives) I went from almost pulling my hair out, trying to use an old patchy phone, to calm Yes, calm. and suddenly, I realized I was actually enjoying the calm Now, this is not a lesson on how phones are intrusive, so you need to deliberately get unplugged more often. That's important But this is me sharing how to make the best of every situation and connecting it to some of the questions I get from those who want to start investing. When I took my phone in to get fixed and I was told it would take 3-4 days to get fixed.   Once it hit me what my reality was, clarity came like a bang and I told myself 'Tomie, stay calm, set priorities and focus on what is within your control' That's when I remembered I had an old phone I could scrub up to manage for a while. When I saw that I had received so many messages on WhatsApp I had to respond to, I remembered I could respond using WhatsApp web and I took time off some other platforms. I've had a couple of conversations and sessions recently that make me realize clarity is a treasure. Clarity helps you make the best of every situation. so for instance, you think you don't have money to invest? How about tracking your inflows and outflows to see where the money is really going.
