WHO NOT HOW: THE POWER OF COLLABORATION AND CONNECTION

-

 


As I sat down to write this blog post, I found myself reflecting on a powerful concept that has truly changed the way I approach my goals and challenges. The concept is simple yet profound: Who, not how.

For years, I used to believe that the key to success was figuring out how to achieve my dreams. I thought that if I could just come up with the right plan, the right strategy, the right set of actions, I could overcome any obstacle and reach any goal. But I soon realized that this approach was limiting me, holding me back from achieving my full potential.

It wasn't until I stumbled upon the "who not how" concept that everything changed for me. Instead of focusing on how to accomplish something, I started asking myself who could help me achieve it. Who had the knowledge, the expertise, the experience to guide me? Who could support me, mentor me, or work alongside me to make my dreams a reality?

By shifting my focus from "how" to "who", I discovered a whole new world of possibilities. I realized that I didn't have to have all the answers or do everything on my own. There are countless people out there who are willing and able to help, if only I'm willing to ask for it.

This concept has had a profound impact on my mindset and approach to life. I've learned to seek out mentors and role models who have achieved what I aspire to, and to learn from their experiences and insights. I've also surrounded myself with a supportive network of friends and colleagues who challenge, encourage, and inspire me to be my best self.

As I've embraced the "who not how" mindset, I've found that my goals no longer seem unattainable or overwhelming. Instead, I see them as opportunities to connect with others, to collaborate, to learn and grow. And I've been amazed at the progress I've made and the doors that have opened for me as a result.

So, if you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by a particular goal or challenge, I urge you to consider this simple yet powerful concept: who, not how. Seek out those who can help and support you, and watch as your world expands and your dreams come within reach. You don't have to do it all alone. There are people out there who want to help you succeed. All you have to do is ask!

JOHNATHAN'S JOURNEY

-

  Sitting across from me in a small, sunlit park, Pastor Johnathan Miller doesn't look like the man he once was. Once the charismatic leader of a bustling megachurch, Johnathan is now unhoused, his belongings tucked neatly into a worn backpack at his feet. Yet, as he begins to tell his story, it's clear that his spirit is anything but broken. "I never imagined I'd end up here," he says, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "But I've come to see that this is exactly where God wants me to be." Johnathan's journey began in the suburbs, where he grew his church from a modest congregation of a few dozen to a thriving community of thousands. The church's success brought with it a host of responsibilities: managing staff, overseeing numerous programs, and addressing the myriad needs of his flock. "It was fulfilling work," he recalls. "But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of my true calling. I was so caught up in the administration...

SUDDENLY

  In a world filled with noise, the still, small voice of God can often be drowned out. We are surrounded by a cacophony of sounds—traffic, chatter, the constant hum of technology—that can overwhelm our senses and distract our spirits. Yet, amid this noise, there is a profound yearning to hear the voice that truly matters: the voice of God. The Sound of Divine Movement Before a mighty move of God, there is always a sound. This is a principle we see throughout Scripture. When God was about to do something significant, there was often a precursor, a sound that indicated His imminent action. Whether it was the sound of a rushing mighty wind at Pentecost (Acts 2:2) or the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees before David's victory over the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:24), these sounds signaled God's presence and His power at work. The Sound of Silence In 1 Kings 19:11-12, we find the prophet Elijah experiencing a divine encounter. God was not in the powerful wind, nor the ...

EMBRACING SECOND CHANCES

In the journey of life, we all encounter obstacles, setbacks, and moments of darkness.  For some, these challenges can manifest in the form of mental health struggles, casting a shadow over their daily existence.  However, amidst the shadows, there exists a glimmer of hope—a chance for redemption, renewal, and a fresh start. Second chances are often celebrated in tales of triumph over adversity.  Whether it's a character in a novel overcoming their past mistakes or a real-life individual rising above their circumstances, the concept of redemption resonates deeply within us.  But what about those who are grappling with mental illness?  How do we extend second chances to individuals whose struggles may not be immediately visible or easily understood? The truth is, everyone deserves a second chance, regardless of their mental health status.  Mental illness does not define a person, nor does it dictate their worth or potential.  Yet, stigma and misconcepti...
