People are often more focused on creating results without paying attention to the causes that generate them. Instead, we should learn and understand the resources that we have so we can utilize them. Resources are categorized into two: external and internal. External resources, like assets, time, and natural and social resources, are things we can interact with, but we can’t inherently change their quantity or value. While we can’t increase or alter how much of these resources we have, we can still make the most of them by finding effective ways to utilize them.

On the other hand, internal resources such as labor, intellectual, and relational assets are inherent to us. These are resources we possess and can leverage to their fullest potential. It’s best to understand who you are, what you have, and what you want, as this self-awareness helps you nurture your growth and potential.
