“Not every opportunity is an opportunity. Sometimes it is a distraction.” 🎯💭

How many times have we said yes to something just because we felt like we should be grateful, even when it completely drains our energy or pulls us backward?

In S2E4 of The Check In with Sade Speaker, Author and Coach Tamu Thomas @tamu.thomas shares a massive truth about discernment: we have to stop offering vulnerable parts of our journey and ambition to people who simply don’t have the capacity to meet us at the level of our self-esteem. A word!!

When you win, you deserve people in your corner who champion you out loud & when you’re nervous, people who send affirmations and speak life into you instead of projecting their own limitations.

Surround yourself with people who can hold space for the full version of who you’re becoming. We want us all winning! 🤍

Be honest: Have you taken an “opportunity” recently that turned out to just be a distraction? 🙃👀
