I want to be humble and generous enough to give without receiving.
All in Building Character
What I was told would lead to success, led to fragility. Hard things, as it turns out, lead to courage and inner-strength.
We can’t “teach” our kids character, but we can debrief it.
Some questions in support of your 2020 holiday reflections.
I am grateful or a lot this Thanksgiving. But what am I doing for others?
Thinking of who lifted me up, gives me courage and strength.
A note about 2020, algorithming ourselves to find our individual higher purpose.
A Jimmy Fallon Clip with Chadwick Boseman changed the way I think about role models.
Reflection changed my relationship with my inner-critic.
A thought experiment, just like an athlete would do to visualize their peak athletic performance.
When I’ve already committed to making an impactful contribution, what will I do?
This exercise is how I am trying to vaccinate myself so I don’t continue to be a carrier of hate, disrespect, and fear.
Getting up off the mat is not the act that matters, it’s a prerequisite.
This is the first question of my morning reflection. It forces me to honestly evaluate the previous day.
Expressing gratitude helps me keep my mind right and my emotions stable. It’s my first order of business at work, and I look forward to it every, single, day. I recommend doing it daily.
It’s crazy that even this soft position is probably radical: I believe that the ends may never justify the means.
If we look in the mirror, we don’t think we’ll like what we will see.
It would be tremendously transformative if we all taught our kids to tell the truth. When we don’t, it leads to tragedy instead.
What we do and how we do it aren’t always in tension. But it happens often enough. And when they are in tension, the choice defines me, defines us.
