People connect with people. 

We connect with stories. 

The stories we tell others, but even more important, the stories we tell ourselves.

We are our stories. 

If you want to give advice, make sure you are actually in a position to do so. 

Is your experience more relevant?

Is your perspective unique? 

If not a yes to both, hold off giving advice.

Learn more. Listen more. Be more.

 

Teaching courage is hard.

Initiative covers a multitude of weaknesses.   

What to be aware of and watch for:

• Laziness
• Procrastination 

Solving those attitudes is difficult, teaching the right skills to a willing and engaged team-member is worth the effort. 

 

Getting rejected is scary. 

What is more scary? Not fulfilling your potential. 

Internal connection is just as important as external. 

External connection is connection to others. 

Internal connection is making sure your mind, body, and spirit are aligned. 

Greater Than Leaders: 

• Embrace others. 
• Honor others. 
• Respect others. 
• Show true gratitude. 

Consistently. All the time. Everyday. 

Often you don’t need to forgive others. You need to not get offended in the first place. It is so much easier to not get offended than to forgive someone. Working on ourselves is easier longterm. 

Faith helps us understand things that we are supposed to know, trust, and do but cannot see, feel, or touch. 

The fastest way to eliminate your enemy is to truly get to know them, get to understand them, focus on their perspective. Once you truly connect in those ways, it is almost impossible for them to remain an enemy. 

Nature is rational.

Humans are part of nature, yet… 

The mind tries to be rational, and sometimes falls short. 

The heart almost always falls short. 

Get in touch with nature, and your ability to create rational feelings (long term thoughts and emotions) improves. 

As we find the flow of nature, the flow of our life smoothes out.
