Are You A Resourceful Person?

Here is today's quote: “Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.” (Ernest Hemingway)

It's frustrating to make a plan and then discover you are lacking in the resources to fulfill it. If such is the case, then you must find a way to use what you have. It is often not the missing resources that cause the problem; it's a lack of resourcefulness.

You have a chance to bring your creativeness into play. It's time to think outside the box. If you can't find a ready solution to a problem, look around you at what you have available, and find an original method to solve your difficulty.

You can't wait around for life to supply your solution. Waiting around might well lead to boredom. Instead, be proactive! Don't wait for things to come to you, but go out and get them for yourself.

Perhaps you can discover new tools. They may allow you to move forward in a way you hadn't considered before. For example, have you investigated ChatGPT to learn in what ways this new innovation could be helpful?

Often, a resourceful person can see opportunities where another might see nothing but obstacles. Be original in your thinking and produce a unique solution. If a traditional solution fails, use your resourcefulness to find a new way.

As Napoleon Hill tells us, if you are resourceful, you can make an opportunity fit your needs. Maybe it will require some original ideas, but you can develop them. Don't let the lack of resources shut you down. Your own resourcefulness is key. Develop it.

It’s a great quote. When you live in supposed 3rd world countries and see what can be achieved it gives hope for the future. Unfortunately I look at the opioid epidemic in TheUSA and see what is thrown away ( no blame attached) and compare to poor countries that have nothing but conviction and I know where I want to live.

We are indeed fortunate to be where we are. Gratitude is a great way to acknowledge that.

Take those lemons and make lemonade...it's really all about being able to think outside the box when you need to find solutions. Great thought-provoking post, Fran.

Thank you, Susan. You are correct -- turn the bad stuff into something good. It's all there -- we just have to find it.

A great quote by Mr Hemingway there Fran!

There is certainly a huge difference between having resources and being resourceful...

I have been playing around with some of these AI tools recently and whilst a bit sceptical to begin with.... when used correctly, they can certainly aid us in our businesses!

The resourceful person will always find the right resources my friend! :-)

4

That is true, Jessie. I plan to tackle the AI later today.

3

Best of luck with that my friend and let us know how you get on!

3

Oh, I will.

2

I can't wait to hear Fran!

2

Well, my first problem...my phone would not call with the code they sent. So, now I have to call the phone company.

1

Sorry to hear about that Fran, but... what code and for what??🤔

2

They wanted my phone number. I put in the number and was told they would send me a code that I needed to enter. The call never went through.

1

Mmm? Sounds a bit suspicious Fran....

What tool were you trying to use?

2

Oh, it was for the ChatGPT. If they sent the code, I never received it. My phone did not ring.

1

Strange... when I created an account with them all I needed to enter was my email address and create a password!!

2

Guess they wanted to challenge me...lol...I'll get it fixed when I can call them.

1

I'm sure you will Fran!

2

Thanks Fran for an uplifting post!

I see how so many people forget what is in their own cupboard of tricks to get through some orders of the day!

I grew up in a resourceful household thankfully, I appreciate that it requires finding our talents and leaning into that gift. Things appear when we are clear on what we want!

Kind regards
Erica

Oh, I've had that happen...I'll need a certain thing and it will suddenly appear. That happened once on Spruce Island at my homestead. We needed another wood stove, and, lo and behold, it appeared in a most unexpected place, free of charge!

2

Oh, that is a lovely story ,Fran!

I fight myself when I get into the poor thinking of nothing happens for me. I remind myself of so many times when I have not had something and how it eventually appeared into my life from constant attention and focus.



2

For the most part, Fran, I would say that I am.

Jeff

I'd agree, from what I know of you.

2

Thank you, Fran.

Sounds like my day today. I was so looking forward to using ChatGPT to find topics for my niche

That was a big disappointment, so I did something that I've never done before

Not sure where I got the confidence but I went to my target audience and asked the group 3 questions

I was amazed at the participation from them all

Now I have information that can help me to create blogs for my website, ebook and other worthy lead magnets plus guides to lead me to complete my social media marketing.

What a beautiful day.

4

And, what a beautiful example of using resources you had available. Yes, you have been resourceful, and you have benefited!

Thank you, Fran :)
