Highlights From The Episode
Wisdom isn’t a vibe—it’s a strategy. It builds homes, strengthens relationships, stabilises finances and shapes legacy. You don’t need more effort, just sharper tools (Ecclesiastes 10:10). Rental mindsets don’t produce ownership outcomes. Tenants wait for peace—owners build it. Storms come, but damage isn’t inevitable (Matthew 7). Lasting impact requires depth, not just construction. Your struggle might be a season of digging— Wisdom starts underground, clearing trauma, ego and inherited dysfunction.
Practical Steps You Can Take
· Audit your finances: Review your last three months of spending. Create a budget and address debt. See Proverbs 21:5.
· Rethink your relationships: Are they rooted in truth and tested under pressure?
· Stop chasing titles—build skills: Focus on excellence now; let God open doors in His time.
· Slow down spiritually: Reconnect with reverence. Let the fear of the Lord be your foundation (Proverbs 9:10).
· Silence the noise: Temporarily log off social media. Let your mind be still enough to hear wisdom again.
· Start rebuilding: Whether you inherited broken patterns or just got distracted, wisdom and understanding allow you to rebuild stronger than before.
