Greetings, and welcome to our journey together this March. Following our previous discussion on "Unveiling March: It’s Time to…", I promised to share some strategies for diversification. Let's delve straight into the topic.
When I became convinced of the necessity to focus in this manner, I began by conducting an audit of my abilities and resources, including human resources. What exactly did I do? I started with my body, recognizing that I possess more functional than nonfunctional parts. I evaluated how I utilized them and identified areas where I could enhance my use of my brain, eyes, and fingers, particularly in writing to engage readers like you and spread messages of hope. While writing books may take considerable time, I realized that some individuals in need of these messages cannot afford to wait. Hence, blogging and posting on platforms like TikTok emerged as viable options.
Additionally, I nurtured my love for gardening, continually seeking opportunities for improvement in that domain. Given the breadth of this topic, I will pause here to provide you with actionable ways to diversify yourself:
Utilize Meet ups: Leveraging meet ups can serve as a valuable resource for connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Whether it be through friends, colleagues, family, church groups, or online platforms like social media, actively participating in these gatherings fosters diversity in experiences and perspectives.
Join Hobby Groups: Engaging in hobby groups offers opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals who share similar interests and passions. By spearheading or participating in such groups, one can cultivate leadership skills while enriching their personal and social networks.
Explore Your Industry: Take advantage of professional networks available within your industry. The internet has revolutionized our ability to connect and learn from professionals worldwide who share our skillsets and aspirations, providing invaluable opportunities for growth and collaboration.
Read More: Delve into books and various written resources to expand your knowledge and understanding of the world. Reading not only exposes us to diverse cultures but also allows us to become experts in areas of interest, irrespective of formal certification. Consider joining a library, participating in a book club, or exploring audiobooks on platforms like YouTube. Try out the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Here is the link.
Learn a New Skill: Embrace the opportunity to acquire new skills, even if it requires minimal adjustments to your daily routine. With the abundance of free online courses available from platforms like Alison and Udemy, as well as institutions like HEART/NTA, learning has never been more accessible. Utilize your devices wisely to prioritize continuous self-improvement.
Repurpose Things and Spaces: Adopt the habit of repurposing both physical objects and spaces to maximize their utility. Convert spare rooms into Airbnb accommodations, propagate plant cuttings from garden trimmings, or organize garage sales to declutter and contribute to charitable causes.
Incorporating these strategies into your life can lead to greater diversity in experiences, skills, and perspectives, enriching both your personal, financial, spiritual and professional endeavours.
Let's march forward together towards a more diversified and enriched future.
