Trust is a feeling, a chosen state of being and receiving. When we choose to trust it is because many elements are coming together to make that feeling acceptable, right, and comfortable. Helping others feel trust enables better relationships and growth for both the individual and the group. 

Every step in the wrong direction wastes your talent, potential, and abilities… unless you commit to learning from each mistake and misstep. 

If, you don’t know what you want, it is super hard to get there.

That is why purpose, vision, and commitment are so important.

Every decision becomes easier when you are guided by your own and your team’s Purpose, Vision & Commitment.

The biggest blinder and obstacle to feeling good is comparison. 

Comparing what we don’t have,

comparing what we once were, 

comparisons never end, and we will never measure up. 

The trick is to let go of comparisons, so true gratitude can fill our lives. 

Validation is fine, and sometimes good, as long as the validation is not your source of self-esteem and confidence. 

The best way to find out what you want is to write it down and then take action. 

If after writing, and it doesn’t feel right, change.

If you start doing, and it doesn’t feel right, change. 

If you want to be influential:

serve first, 

and,

serve last. 

Those who work hard,

will always feel better, 

and find more purpose, 

then those who lay around and wait to feel better,

and wait for purpose to find them. 

If someone is helpful, 

and works hard, 

and is consistent, 

and they show concern,

and their actions match their words, 

and they don’t ask for praise, 

they are the ones you can trust. 

Often the right next step isn’t more, new, or different action, it is actually just awareness. 

Awareness leads to better decisions. 

Better decisions leads to better actions, which could mean fewer actions. 

Focus on being aware of yourself, others, and the thoughts and feelings on all sides, and watch your actions improve.
