The best way to initiate and drive true change is to build trust first. Never expect people to accept change when trust is not the foundation of the relationship. 

As we look to see others for who they are, we forget about what we think they should be…. but then, our eyes open, and we see what they could be. 

If we want to do something that doesn’t seem possible, we just need to find enough faith. Faith can be created. Faith can be manufactured. If want to believe, then decide to believe, and then truly beleive in something that is true, then we can build all the faith we could ever want. Once we have faith, all we need to do is take action, act with courage and impossible is now a reality. 

Truth can be found if we honestly search for it. 
Truth is found only when the heart and mind are willing to accept new ideas. 

When it is easy at first, you know it will have to be hard later. 

Complaining is easy…

Negativity is easy…

Blaming is easy… 

…until it is not.

In the long run complaining, being negative, and blaming others makes your life so much harder.

As we assume to know, we create imagined expectations. 

Those expecations turn into our own personal reality. 

When that reality gets shattered, like it always does, that is when we need to find humilty in order to admit and then let go of our assumptions so we can start over, start fresh and do so from a clean and open perspective. 

Smart isn’t doing everything all at once,

smart is doing what needs to be done at the right time. 

Arrogant folks always find a reason to be offended. 

Small-minded people seem to see the worst in anyone with a different perspective. 

Hypocrites easily find ways to make themselves (and thier tribe) the victims, at all costs. 

It is never all or nothing. If someone says it is, they are lying or their agenda has brainwashed them. 

There are always options, always multiple perspectives that can change things.

Connect more.

Listen more.

Be more. 

Kindness always comes back. Kindness is not 1 for 1. It multiplies. It always comes back stronger than how you gave it, just not always in the ways you want or expect.
