In parts 2 to 4 of this series, We looked at 3 examples of our free resources for fulfilling Purpose. In this 5th/last part we will be looking at examples 4 to 6 of those resources.
4.Social capital: This refers to resources or things you get from people other than money that can help you achieve your vision.
For example you decided to start a church and don’t have any personal hall or space to use and you also don’t have money to rent one. You decided to tell a friend about your vision of starting a church and your challenge. Then this friend you told about your challenges decides to offer you his or her sitting room to start your meetings for free until you are able to rent a meeting venue.
Another scenario could be that you told someone about your vision and then this person who doesn’t have the means of helping you directly but has a friend who has the means of helping out. Like in the case where space was the need, this person now talks on your behalf to someone he or she knows to have a hall or warehouse for rent and this third party, that is the owner of the hall or warehouse decides to give you the hall or warehouse for free because of the relationship between him and your friend. That’s called social capital.
Thirdly you want to do your school project but don’t have a computer system and a friend of yours you told about your plight decides to lend you his or her laptop computer system. That’s another example of social capital.
The main elements in all this situations you should bear in mind are the words friendship, connections, network, contacts and relationship. These elements summarizes what is meant by social capital: things given to you to support your vision because of your friendship or relationship with others.
5. Public libraries and all resources and programmes from charity organisations such as churches, mosque, non-governmental/non-profit organizations
6. Free resources on the internet. These includes Publications, articles, journals, webpages you browse and explore using google search, training courses and videos on YouTube, webinars, e-libraries, and all free educational Resources on the internet and social media.
A very good example of point 5 & 6 is our institute ‘Thought Force International Institute's social media posts, trainings, seminars, workshops etc.
