Have you ever asked someone for a pen and the answer was: “Where on earth do you expect me to get such?” And then you asked someone else and the answer was: “Oh, I’m not with a pen now but let me see if that guy over there has”.
The difference between the two individuals is in their resourcefulness. Some people are dead end on an open road while some other people are open road at a dead end.
- We not have answers to all questions
- We not have solutions to all problems
But a positive disposition in all situations is a great blessing. There are limitations in life, no doubt, but a man is only limited to the degree of his own positiveness. In other words, limitations in life is directly proportional to our attitude either positive or negative
We talk of Men on means. This is beyond physical assets or monetary value. Real men of means are “men of access”. Men who see “something” in every “nothing”. They see because they believe, they do not necessarily wait to see before they believe. Resourceful men are men of means. They find a way where there is literally none. They generate Ideas and find alternatives. They take the first step into the unknown. Creating opportunities where there “seems to be none”…Trailblazing!
More often than not, we do not have problem with resources, we only have problem with being Resourceful. Resources without resourcefulness eventually become a colossal wastage. Sometimes what we need is to be more resourceful and not more resources. Many would rather complain and find fault rather than find a way.
The truth is, if that is what you have, it is enough to take you from where you are to where you want to be. The difference is not in resources but in resourcefulness. The story of Talent in the Bible is a typical example. Your greatest Rescue in life is in your Resourcefulness making the most of your situation either good or bad.
Obstacles are stepping stones for a resourceful person. A resourceful person will always be in advantage position because where other sees obstacles, he sees opportunities. He is able to do more with less and even with nothing. A resourceful person is not bothered about what he does not have but concentrates on making the best of what he has and in the end making available that which he did not have
Satisfaction in life is largely a function of your Resourcefulness, what you make of your resources and not the resources in themselves. Resourcefulness makes no room for excuse or blame game. No man has been resourceful who has not been progressive. Resourcefulness is the father of all inventions. It makes your creative juice flow. It excites your productive capability. Ralph Marston has this to say: Being truly thankful makes you infinitely more resourceful. By sincerely appreciating what you have, you find new and valuable ways to make use of it.”
Hear what Jezz Bezos, Amazon Boss has to say: Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful. Resourcefulness is about starting where you are, using what you have, doing what you can.
- Don’t make people feel hopeless
- Don’t ever tell anybody it is impossible neither say to anybody they can’t do it
- Be a motivator
- Encourage people to attempt the seemingly impossible
Resources are everywhere but resourcefulness is rare. Our true constraint is not in our lack of resources but in the lack of our resourcefulness. And when you do not have resources, depend on your Resourcefulness. The greatest resources ever is you and you can only be maximized to the extent of your Resourcefulness
