Lessons With A King

Lesson 400: Every Decision Led You Here   We might not want to accept it but when we sit back and think about it, it is very true. Everything we have done has led us to the place we are. The decisions we made led us to this spot. If we don't like where we are, we should consider the decisions we make.   PROMPT: What ways do you practice acceptance?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 399: Make Each Failure A Step Towards Your Goal   Here's one for you: no matter how great you are at the things you do, you will fail, eventually. That isn't a bad thing. We are human. We fail from time to time. However, we can use the lessons from that failure to build towards the goal. Ok, I tried it this way and it didn't work, I'll try it this other way and it just might work which will lead me closer to my goal.   PROMPT: What was your last failure? How did you handle it?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 398: Leave Things Better Than You Found Them   We are really not doing a good job of taking care of this planet. That's not a good thing. We really have to do better. A good approach is to always do anything with the mindset of leaving things better than you found them. Learn how things currently are and then put in the work to make them a lot better than when you first experienced it. Yes, it's a lot of work but it is really rewarding work.   PROMPT: What is your reason for leaving things better?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 397: Step In The Ring   We can read all the amazing books about a subject. We can watch YouTube tutorials. We can go to seminars and workshops but till we actually get into the fray and do it, we are not going to learn as much. To actually experience it, to actually start building our experience of the thing, we have to step to the right. We have to do the thing.   PROMPT: Step In The Ring   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)  

Lesson 396: Build On Your Flaws   We all have flaws and that's all good because we are human, we are fallible. However, we can work on getting better by working on those flaws. We have to understand that we won't fix everything because we can't be perfect but we can definitely work at being just a little bit better.   PROMPT: What flaw are you currently working on?    #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 395: It's Not Your Cross   Life can be interesting and difficult for empaths. They feel so much and want to fix everything. Well, no one can fix everything. It's ok to listen and be there for people but you should let them know that you can't do more. We all have our cross and while you can help others carry theirs from time to time. It's ok, to let go and just focus on carrying yours.   PROMPT: When was the last time you carried someone's cross?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 394: Set Stretch Goals    When you set out to work on a goal, it is a good idea to also have a stretch goal. A “stretch goal,” simply put, is a target set above what is expected to be accomplished. Say the goal is to create three pieces and your stretch goal is to create five. By having that stretch goal in place, you might surpass way more than you thought you originally could and end up creating seven or more.   PROMPT: What are some of your stretch goals?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 393: Always Show Up With Your Special Thing   There are times we want to hold back from showing our special skills. We believe that by holding back and waiting for the "right time", we will be more effective yet we forget that there's no need to hold back because we might not find that "right time". Whenever you show up, always put your best foot forward, let them see that special thing you have as long as it fits with what is going on. Don't wait for the "right time" because it just might never come.   PROMPT: What's your special thing?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 392: You Will Need To Adapt   In life, no matter how much you plan, things might go awry. That's when you'll see how important it is to adapt. The ability to adapt is going to give you an edge in life because when things are not going as planned you can adapt and pivot to a different way of doing things quicker than most will be able to.   PROMPT: When did you last adapt? What did you do?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 391: Be Wary Of Quick Fixes   When things go sideways, we know we have to fix them. Sure, there are things that can be fixed quickly but not all things are and sometimes, a quick fix will only make things worse. Take the time to fix the issue, learn the lesson and then you can get back into the fray. When you slap up a quick fix, don't be shocked if things go to shit shortly after. Take your time when it comes to fixing things.   PROMPT: Have you had a quick fix that ends up making things worse? If yes, what happened?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 390: Work On Reducing Errors   In life, we will make mistakes from time to time. However, once we do make that mistake, we should do all we can to make sure that we learn and we work on reducing the errors that led to that mistake.   PROMPT: What was the last error you made? How are you working on reducing it?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 389: Outsource Things You Suck At No matter how good we are at doing things, there will be some things we suck at. We should do ourselves a favour and outsource those things to people that enjoy doing them. It makes everyone's life a lot easier and makes things move along better. PROMPT: What are some things you outsource? Why?

Lesson 388: Connect Offline   We all had to start working from home because of the pandemic but thankfully, bit by bit, life opened up and we started doing things in person. While chatting on Zoom, Slack and other apps helped with connecting, I believe they pale in comparison with meeting in person and that is something that we all miss and we all should do, safely, when we can.   PROMPT: When did you last connect with someone else?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 387: Create Better Feelings   Life is difficult and we all deal with not so good things from time to time. We should work towards ensuring that the interactions we have with people will leave them with better feelings. We want to have them leave our presence feeling good, feeling a lot better than they did when they met us. It differs from person to person but one thing is universal, smiling makes others smile and then you can build from there.   PROMPT: When was the last time you gave someone a good feeling?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 386: Don't Be Afraid Of Ending Things   When it comes to the end, there's a part of us that wants to delay it as much as possible. An end means something we might care for is about to disappear from our lives. However, an end just means an opportunity for a new beginning so once that thing is nearing an end, rather than get sad, smile because you are about to start a wonderful new journey.   PROMPT: What was the last thing you ended?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 385:  Not Everything Is Nice   It would be great if everything in life was nice but that isn't possible. Plus, I do think it would be boring if everything was just perfect and nice. There won't be much room for growth or learning. When we have some not so nice experiences, we get to learn and we get to grow. It will suck but we come out on the other end better for it.   PROMPT: What was your last "not so nice" experience?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 384: Have A Defined "Only I..." Sentence   One way to strengthen your business is to have a defined "Only I ..." sentence. Only I do "x" and make sure X is something that gives value. When you have that x, work on it, fine-tune it so it gets even better as time goes. When people know you are the person to reach out to for X, that reputation grows and that's a good thing.   PROMPT: Fill this out... Only I...     #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 383: Ask More "What If...?" Questions     Curiosity is important. We should be comfortable with asking questions and one of my favourite types of questions to ask is "What If". I get to play different scenarios and think things through. What if things don't go as planned? What if things actually work perfectly? What if? What if? What if?   PROMPT: What "What If" question will you ask yourself today?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 382: Wealth ≠ Virtue   There is this misconception that wealth means a person is virtuous. Sure some might be but it isn't an automatic indicator of virtue. Know the person and don't let the wealth blind you.   PROMPT: What are you doing to increase your virtue?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 381: Growth Comes From Goodbyes   Letting go is difficult. Saying goodbye can hurt but more often than not, when we let go of things, when we say goodbye, we give ourselves an opportunity to grow. It's scary but you should not be afraid to let go and say goodbye.   PROMPT: What was your last goodbye? What growth did it lead to?     #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 380: Be Crystal Clear   When we make comments, or present or speak, we have to make sure the audience understands us. We have to make sure they don't try to look for a meaning that isn't there. We have to be clear with the point we are trying to make.   PROMPT: How do you ensure they understand you?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 379: Try Things That Might Not Work   It's ok to try things that might not work, the keyword being "might". If you are sure it won't work, then there's no point. But if there's a chance it just might work, go ahead try it. If it does work, amazing. If not, all good, you get to learn something new. Don't be afraid to try new things that seem not so sure of working.   PROMPT: What was the last thing you tried knowing it might not work?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 378: Don't Get Too Attached To Ideas   Ideas are amazing. From ideas, we get to build awesome things so it's understandable that letting go of ideas can be a difficult thing to do. However, you should get comfortable with letting ideas go from time to time. If there is a good reason why you should let that idea go, then you should. Sure it hurts but if you hold on to it, you are just holding yourself back from getting new and better ideas.   PROMPT: What idea did you have to let go of recently?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 377: Everything You Hate Is Someone's Favourite Thing   We are all different beings and we all like what we like. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean everyone else loathes it. We should learn to be understanding and accepting of people and what works for them. It doesn't have to be your cup of tea but you have to be accepting of the person's thing if you do accept the person.   PROMPT: How do you learn to appreciate things you don't care for?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 376: Have A Cause   When you have a cause you are focused, you are driven and you are inspired to do what you can for that cause. Hopefully, the cause is a positive one because positive or not, once you have a cause, the focus is honed in and you will do what is needed for the cause.   PROMPT: What cause do you support?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Audio only:  

Lesson 375: Make A To-Do List Of Difficult Things     I'm lazy and most of my friends know this or at least are tired of hearing me say it. However, what helps me get so much done is that I create to-do lists full of difficult things. The idea is that if it's on the list, I'll buckle down and do what needs to be done. If it's not on the list, it's most likely not going to get done.   PROMPT: What difficult thing will you do today?   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Audio only:

Lesson 374: Create Your "Square Squad"   From Brene Brown's Dare To Lead: "Get a one-inch piece by one-inch piece of paper and write down the names of the people whose opinions matter to you. It needs to be small because it forces you to edit." Your square squad is the very short list of people whose opinions matter. These are the people who care enough about you to be honest, rather than telling you what you want to hear. They should not be people who just blindly agree with you no matter what. I call them my Avengers.   PROMPT: How many people are on your square squad?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 373: Remix Your Old Work   I'm always remixing my work because every time I go back to something I created, I get to see things in a brand new light. It's beautiful and it keeps growing. Go back to the work you've created and see what elements you can remix. It's a beautiful thing.   PROMPT: What old work of yours would you love to remix?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 372:   Introduce New Ideas Slowly   Change isn't always welcomed so when you have a new idea, no matter how amazing it might be, it's a good idea to introduce it slowly. Keep what they are used to and introduce elements of the new idea then keep building. Bit by bit, till the new idea seems the norm to everyone.   PROMPT: What new idea are you introducing?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 371:  Stay Flexible   If you stay rigid, you will break easily. If you are flexible, you have longer staying power. It's a good idea to embrace flexibility in everything you do.   PROMPT: How flexible are you?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)  

Lesson 370: Be Wary Of Variable Rewards   People get hooked on slot machines because of the power of variable rewards. One push might give you a thousand dollars and the next ten pulls give you nothing but pull number 11 might give you ten dollars. The variable rate of rewards keeps the person hooked. When you are dealing with people or situations that have variable rewards, it's a good idea to take a step back and think things through before you get completely sucked in.   PROMPT:  What in your life has variable rewards?     #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 369: Know The Boundary Of Your Competence   Faking it till you make it should come with a caveat: don't stray too far from your boundary of competence. Faking that you know how to fly a plane when you have zero ideas about what you are doing is a very bad idea. Faking that you can carry an interview when you love asking questions isn't straying too far from your boundary of competence. The key is to know yourself and your capabilities and staying within or at least close to that realm. Now, once you know what your level is, you can level up by putting in work and in time your boundary of competence will expand.   PROMPT: How often do you push the boundary of your competence?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)

Lesson 368: Respect Their Boundaries   When someone shares their boundaries, respect them. Do not have them have to keep reminding you. Sure you might forget but put in the effort to remember and stick to their boundaries.   PROMPT: Pay attention to their boundaries   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 367: Make Sure They Know Your Boundaries   It's one thing to have boundaries but it's another for people to know what your boundaries are. No one can read minds so make sure you let them know what your boundaries are. Be specific. Don't make them have to read between lines. This is what my boundaries are and it is important to me that you respect them.   PROMPT: Do you share your boundaries?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 366: Set Boundaries   Set boundaries in everything you do and everyone you deal with. I will do this but I won't do this. They might not like it but you are doing it for yourself, to take care of yourself. Do set boundaries and stick to them.   PROMPT: What are your boundaries?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Audio only: Support this podcast

Lesson 365: Have A Life Audit   It is a good idea to have a life audit. A life audit according to https://xsvengoechea.medium.com/how-and-why-to-do-a-life-audit-1d8bfbe1798 (Ximena Vengoechea) is an exercise in self-reflection that helps you clear the cobwebs of noisy, external goals and current distractions, and revisit or uncover the real themes & core values that drive & inspire you. Also known as spring cleaning for the soul. It is an involved process but it will take you to the next level.   PROMPT: When was the last time you did a life audit?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 364: Learn Something From Everyone You Meet   If you meet them, learn from them.   PROMPT: What did you learn from the last person you met?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Audio only: Support this podcast

Lesson 363: People Can Change   It isn't that people can't change because they can. It is that people are not as willing to do the work that is needed for them to change. So the question isn't can they change? It is, are they willing to do the work to change?   PROMPT: What was the last change you noticed in a loved one?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Support this podcast

Lesson 362: Replace "That Was Stupid Of Me" with "That Was Human Of Me" What was the last mistake you made?   As a human being, we are all fallible and that's just par for the course. It hurts when people talk down on themselves because they are ignoring the fact that they are human and they can make mistakes. It's ok. Just fix things and learn from the mistake. Replace "That Was Stupid Of Me" with "That Was Human Of Me" because you are human after all.   PROMPT: What was the last mistake you made?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Support this podcast

Lesson 361: Find A Partner That Wants To Build With You   It's possible that you find someone that is already made and doesn't want to build anything new. All good. However, if you meet someone that is still building and they don't consider building with you, that's a good sign that the relationship will not go anywhere. When you build together, the bond grows tighter and it makes for beautiful stories to share in the future.   PROMPT: What are you building with your partner?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 360: Everyone Has Their Burden   We all have things we carry. We all have our baggage. We should learn to be more understanding because we all go through so much and we never know how heavy the other person's burden is.   PROMPT: How do you carry your burden?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 359: Boring Now Might Be Interesting Later   I really don't get bored as long as I have access to a few things, a computer, the internet, a book, my phone. However, there are things that we might have to do that we consider boring. One way to approach it is to go in with the mindset that this boring thing might end up becoming interesting later. I've found the more you do something, the more interesting it gets. It's a beautiful experience. Sure, it might be boring now, but keep at it and you'll find it interesting.   PROMPT: What was something you found boring before but find interesting now?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 358: Bring Extra To The Table   Make sure you have some tricks up your sleeve. Whenever they think you've wowed them way beyond expectation, hit them with, well, there's one more thing. Always have extras to share.   PROMPT: What extra will you bring to the table?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Audio only: Support this podcast

Lesson 357: The Unexpected Should Always Be Expected   Life is beautiful. There are times things just fall right where you want them. However, there are also times when things just don't work out. Things we never expected to happen, end up happening. When those do occur, we should make sure we accept them because in life, there's always a chance of the unexpected thing happening. It's also good practice to have contingencies in place, just in case.   PROMPT: How do you handle unexpected experiences?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 356: Question Everything   There is nothing wrong with asking questions. If you don't know something, ask. If something seems unclear, ask. If something seems off, ask. If you don't ask, you won't know. So ask as many questions as you need to get to the level of comfort that works for you.   PROMPT: How comfortable are you with asking questions?    #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK)   Support this podcast

Lesson 355: End One-Sided Relationships   If you are carrying the relationship, maybe it's time you considered ending it. A relationship doesn't necessarily have to be 50/50 all the time but if it is one-sided and you are doing most of the carrying, it's time to evaluate things. It's also ok to end it.   PROMPT: Do you have a one-sided relationship?    #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 354: Give Value     In every situation you find yourself in, make sure you bring value. It is super important to bring value to the table. The more value you bring, the more important you become. Remember, value is subjective so just because something is valuable to you doesn't mean it will be valuable to others so make sure you understand what's valuable to them and then give them that.   PROMPT: What value do you offer?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 352: Strengths > Desires   Just because you desire something doesn't mean you'll get it. We desire a lot but we have to be honest with our strengths. Once we know our strengths we can align our desires to suit that. It isn't a case of killing the desire, it's about being honest with ourselves. Now, if you really want that thing, that's an incentive to work on increasing your strength to align with that desire.   PROMPT: Do your desires align with your strength?   #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast

Lesson 350: Use Oblique Strategies    Oblique Strategies is a set of cards that will help unleash your creativity. According to the Eno Shop, "In 1975, Peter Schmidt and Brian Eno created the original pack of Oblique Strategies cards, through thinking about approaches to their own work as artist and musician. The Oblique Strategies constitute a set of over 100 cards, each of which is a suggestion of a course of action or thinking to assist in creative situations. These famous cards have been used by many artists and creative people all over the world since their initial publication." The cool thing is you can get the app too. When you are stuck, just open it and pick a card that points you where you should consider going.    PROMPT: Download the Oblique Strategies App    #LessonsWithAKing   https://www.instagram.com/israeliekanem/ (@israeliekanem)   https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=QN68BLL5D4552 (Support LWAK) Support this podcast
