What & Who

What we do, shows exactly what we value.
Whom we help, shows exactly who we are.
Intent matters.
Actions matter more.

The more you care, the more right actions you will take.

 

Choosing Pain

All of us will face pain.

Sometimes we can limit that pain with better choices.

Sometimes the best choice is to endure the pain because that is the best choice.

The more pain of endurance and resilience we choose to embrace, the more chance for ultimate success.

Don’t Trust All of It

Theories are all partially true. Just because one aspect is true, it doesn’t prove every claim to be true. You don’t have to trust everything to trust something.

Find truth and throw away the rest. Don’t let the dogma, pressure, or influence of others cause you to believe it all.

Every theory has holes. None are whole. Truth is truth no matter where you find it. Lies are lies no matter where they come from.

Systems Save You

Your system is your safety net. Your system is your foundation. When the right systems are followed with the right actions, moments of genius are welcome but not required. This is why consistency works – continuous action at the right time for the right purpose always beats out one-time brilliance.

More Than Empathy

The data shows that empathy is good, but without compassion is damaging to all involved.

Empathy is feelings, compassion is often considered “advanced actionable empathy” since it includes the desire to also help, to relieve the suffering and burden.

If you have the desire to help, then your entire approach changes and everyone eventually benefits.
