The Four Anchors of LIFE ⚓️

⏳ Time, presence, faith, and foundation : the four anchors that keep us steady long enough to see our blessings arrive.

🐬 The temptation when things feel uncertain is to get frantic, to numb out, to fall back into the very vices we said we’d let go.. but blessings don’t bloom overnight. Seeds need time, roots need depth, and storms need patience to pass.

💡 Our brains are wired with a negativity bias, meaning stress makes us over-focus on threats and under-notice opportunities. That’s why building a foundation gives our nervous system the calm to actually see the good when it comes. (Foundation course available now in classroom tabun SKOOL app)

📖 As Marcus Aurelius said: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Even our struggles are shaping us to receive what’s meant for us.

🙏 “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

So don’t block your blessings by running back to comfort when things feel heavy. Stay focused on the prize, stay present with your intention, and trust that the time you invest in your foundation is the very soil your blessings are rooting in.

💬 What blessing might already be growing in your life that you’ve been too frantic to notice?

Enjoy your weekend - 🫡🐬 Hakeem
