A Modern Tall Tale inspired by Proverbs 11:18: There was a man named Evan who made money faster than most people made coffee. He flipped deals from his phone. Negotiated through DMs. Closed contracts without ever looking someone in the eye. His calendar was full. His inbox never slept. And his bank app sent him daily reminders that he was “winning.” People said, “That guy knows how to play the system.” And he did. Evan chased margins, loopholes, shortcuts. If it was legal—or gray enough—he took it. He sold promises dressed as solutions. Metrics instead of meaning. Appearances instead of outcomes. Every night, he scrolled through numbers glowing on his screen: Revenue up. Followers climbing. Lifestyle funded. Success felt…instant. But something else crept in quietly. Despite the money, Evan slept poorly. Despite the praise, he felt hollow. Despite the wins, nothing ever felt finished. He kept upgrading—phone, car, apartment, watch—but the satisfaction never downloaded. Across town lived Marcus, a man most people overlooked. Marcus ran a small operation. Not flashy. Not viral. He showed up early, charged fairly, paid people on time, and told the truth—even when it cost him. He invested in people, not hype. Built relationships, not funnels. Planted seeds that wouldn’t trend—but would last. Evan mocked him. “You’re thinking too small,” Evan said. “Integrity doesn’t scale.” Marcus shrugged. “Maybe not,” he replied. “But it compounds.” Then came the shift. Markets tightened. Algorithms changed. Partnerships vanished overnight. Evan’s income—once so impressive—became unpredictable. Numbers still flashed on his screen, but they didn’t mean anything anymore. Contracts dissolved. Trust evaporated. The wins he built on pressure and persuasion quietly reversed. One night, Evan sat alone in his luxury apartment, staring at a phone full of notifications that suddenly felt weightless. Paid. But empty. Meanwhile, Marcus’s world stayed steady. His business slowed—but didn’t collapse. People stuck around. Work kept coming. His name meant something.

"Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?” 🟣 Hard truth: The ant doesn’t wait to be motivated. It doesn’t need supervision. It works now so it’s not desperate later. 🟣 This isn’t about hustle. It’s about responsibility. Preparation. And honoring what God has entrusted to you. Small daily disciplines beat last-minute panic every time. ❓ What’s one small, intentional step you know you need to take today— not tomorrow—that your future self will thank you for?

"Jesus Christ was born into this world, not from it. He did not evolve out of history; He came into history from the outside. Jesus Christ is not the best human being. He is a Being Who cannot be accounted for by the human race at all." — Oswald Chambers The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." — Luke 1:35

Our knee-jerk reactions often come from wanting to control the situation and yes, to protect our peace but also because certain people trigger wounds we’re still healing. When you’re dealing with irrational or difficult individuals, those buttons get pushed quickly. What I’ve learned through my own personal work and what I teach at Kashmere Hands Academy is this: Disengagement is a form of self-respect. Some people will never show up in a healthy way, no matter how much clarity or kindness you offer. Over time, you learn what conversations to have, what to release, and where silence is the healthier choice especially when you must maintain some form of connection with them. Always choose to be a grounded example for your children, your friends, and above all, yourself. This is how you preserve your energy, nurture your inner peace, and maintain the level of self-care needed to thrive in your life and purpose.
