Creativity is founded on curiosity. Creative solutions don’t have to be unique, they just have to be different than the current plan or path. 

Every person needs to know that what they have built has been worth it, has made an impact. 

If you have the chance to tell them, tell them. 

High performers always want to improve. They often can’t see their own greatness. 

It is the role of the leader to recognize greatness, call it out, and nurture it. 

One good, well-delivered question is more valuable ten thousand answers. 

We learn when we find the solution on our own. 

We convince ourselves when we have to respond to questions. 

So, use questions to help others teach and convince themselves. 

Them or you.

You or them. 

It doesn’t have to be this way, but usually is.

If that is the case, understanding who is really “you” is the only thing that matters.

If the answer is not 100% yes, then obviously it is no. The right answer is always right. The wrong answer is always wrong. Yet, our desires often get in the way of seeing what is right or what is wrong. If we can set aside our wants, align our passions and values and principles with the possible outcomes, then finding the right become so much easier. 

 

If you can soften the edges, admitting true feelings become much easier.

Sharing true feelings allows you to build better relationships. 

Pure sacrifice holds the idea that whatever you are giving up might never be realized, could be forever destroyed, or even eternally lost. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Mom! Thanks for your sacrifice.

Underestimate the value others will contribute so that way you need to bring more to the table. And once you bring it, notify them. The more you deliver, and let them know what you delivered, the more others will appreciate your value. 

When we get offended, ego is the culprit. 

Ego hides behind the false idea that what we think and feel is more important than truth. 

Ego lies and tells us that our emotions dictate our feelings and responses. 

Ego is full of righteous victimhood. 

Getting offended, or feeling oppressed, or feeling wronged has nothing to do with what has actually happened, since the past doesn’t exist anymore, it is not real… the only thing that actually matters, or is actually true is how we decide to respond to those events.

The best way to respond is always to move past (ignore) our ego, and then, when things calm down, we can review everything with awareness and a calm heart.
