Safety starts with certainty.

If we know what to expect, we feel safe.

This is true both physically and emotionally.

In order to change for good and for the good, we need vision. Forced change without context and internal motivation will never last. Vision comes from seeing beyond the current reality with hope and belief that tomorrow can be better and different.

Accepting truth and reality as-is today does not make you a cynic or pessimist.

Accepting the current situation as permanent does.

How we see the world is not based on what is outside of us, but rather, what is inside of us.

If we see something as positive while others see it as negative, that is a difference of perception and internal belief, not fact.

Never confuse something that is good with something bad, those are the assumptions that ruin growth and relationships.

Cynicism produces pessimism.

Pessimism always results in negative feelings.

Positivity produces optimism.

Optimism creates opportunities and better experiences.

The best business, organizations, and families are only great because they have great people.

It is also the people that limit the growth of every group as well.

When fear is first, growth and innovation always come last.

Follow the ones who have done what you want to do.

Follow the ones who have been where you want to go.

Don’t listen to the others.

Act out of love, not fear. Sometimes, all it takes is a willingness to not adapt to what others want from you. When you can act with courage without thinking about the opinions of others, then you know you are able to be your true self and help others. Acting out of love lets us forget our fears.

Just like gravity, “the lie” is always there, always working.

The lie is that you are not enough.

The truth is that you are enough.

Make sure the truth works harder than the lie.

Terrible ideas and words create terrible actions.

Watch your thoughts and speech so you don’t have to watch your actions.
