Approaching life with the abundance mentality is the key to meaningful relationships and success.

When speaking with ESPN, Basketball Africa League player Terrell Stoglin provided his thoughts on J. Cole receiving the opportunity to play for the league’s Rwanda Patriots, suggesting that Cole took an opportunity away from other, more deserving players.

This mentality is emblematic of our approach to life through the scarcity paradigm.

Is it about foregoing our moral obligation to help uplift the race, or is this just an examination of how women need to lighten up and gain a better understanding of modern dating and where they fall in the pecking order with respect to men who have options? Women need to accept that they’re going to have to compete!
