The Conditions For Which Good Things Come
Published 2 months ago • 3 min read
Hello Reader,
I apologize for no roundup for last week and for this newsletter coming later in the day. Last week was a bit of a drag and by the time the weekend came not only was I still working on some content, I also had a meeting that I had to go to; which by the time it ended suggested to me that the content I was producing wouldn't have been done justice if I just rushed through it. I will highlight some content in the spotlight section, but first I want to unpack the significance of the meeting I went to this past Saturday.
On Saturday August 2nd I had the pleasure of sitting down with my new pastor and or at the very least a man of wise counsel. We connected and spoke about several things, but then, right at the tail end of our conversation he said something to me that i'm still unpacking. He was telling me about how his church has grown, and then he said with respect to my story that i'm ready but i'm waiting for God's timing. I have a chapter in my book that alludes to kairos time, and the only other time I would normally think about kairos time would be in the context of some sort of content.
Kairos time isn't alway top of mind for me but when I was given the stamp of approval in terms of being ready to advance but not being in my appointed time for advancement some dots began to connect. Those dots are still connecting so I don't see the full picture yet but I recognize that there are things that i've consistently wanted and or I am consistently pained by that might be in the state they are in because of where I am with respect to God's timing for my life. Again, that's not the most satisfying answer for me, but it's what I needed, to at the very least shift my way of thinking, not just for the last five or six years, but for the last 25+ years. Sometimes you can be in the right place at the wrong time and you have to take that into consideration with respect to what you do next.

Here is some content from last week that I didn't get to share in this capacity along with some other potentially meaningful content for this week (click the image to view):
I’ve already been healed, I don’t need vindication or validation from anyone, especially if it’s not being easily offered.
When you create a critical mass reaction in your finances there will be a sense of freedom and responsibility that comes with the idea or realization that depending on how your finances are organized you may not have to work again for the rest of your life.
This week I want to encourage you to seek new direction. Everyone sets out on a journey for various reasons. The main reason a person ventures out into the world is to create a life for themselves. A new direction serves as a response to new information. One thing you shouldn't do is learn something new and then act as though you haven't. And sometimes people get hung up because they are incapable of learning something new. A new direction inherently means a change of course but that change of course doesn't necessarily mean you're changing your destination. As someone who is used to living in or near big cities I understand that if one road is crowded I can go at least two or three different ways and still get to my destination. Change fatigue is real and I don't want this information to come off as maybe you should start over again somewhere else. Maybe you should, or maybe you just need to get off the proverbial road you're currently on and get on another one that will take you where you need to go quicker and easier.
Thank you for your attention. We'll keep doing our best to improve and provide you seamless personal and professional development content. You can contact me by responding to this email or here.

Hello Reader, I need to focus on other stuff. Welcome back to the crash out. As you may know i've been crashing out and using Life with Ken as a medium to process through it. It started almost a month ago when I burnt out from working. I usually try to avoid burning out but it's hard for me for more reasons than one. I hate whining on my platform, but for the sake of the crash out, essentially I'm doing too much stuff and the stuff that I am doing is unfulfilling. The reality is in some...
Hello Reader, I feel good going into this week. I was spending a lot of time bogged down by things but now I have re-adjusted my focus. Not everything that is important requires immediate action. One of my many shortcomings I feel, is that when I start something it can be difficult for me to stop until I finish. The feeling of finishing is satisfying. What's additionally satisfying is getting to start something else without still having something left undone. I'm going to New Jersey in a...
Hey Reader, So, I burnt out last week. Everything came to a halt. Virtually by Wednesday I had no gas left in the tank. I am sorry to say that I don't want to do this anymore. But, I am going to continue to do so. Here's why: If I Stop Life with Ken I Silence Myself - This endeavor was conceived on financial health and wealth generation, and on giving myself a voice. Back when I started this I didn't care who was listening because I understood that probably no one was. No one was really...
