This morning got me fired up about politics in #UK and #USA but I know that resistance isn’t the way.

What you resist does persist.

What you focus on becomes true.

If we are going to have the world we want to live in we need to focus on what that looks like and focus on that vision - here’s how:

In toxic cultures, people get promoted for results even if they destroy relationships. Abuse is a price to pay for high performance.

In healthy cultures, no level of individual excellence justifies undermining people. You’re not a high performer if you don't elevate others.

In heroism " In fact, it’s just the opposite: it’s regular, flawed human beings choosing to put others before themselves, even at great cost, even if no one will ever know, even as they realize the walls might be closing in around them."

"Remember they win when you lose it "
To recap: don't feed into the anger/ rage bait. You know the game, you're smart enough. You've done this before. You've seen this before. Don't give them your sanity. Seek higher ground. You'll handle the difficulties better if you have a clear head. Remember, they win when you lose it.

How do you help someone find the confidence to take a promotion that you know is perfect for them?
January 6, 2025 at 1:08 AM
Confidence doesn’t wait for perfection; it thrives when you honor your journey, your efforts, and your growth.
When you offer yourself daily encouragement, even in the smallest ways, you create a ripple effect that builds self-belief and confidence.

One of the things I miss most about living in NYC was walking everywhere. It was so much more interesting than taking the train and you got to spend time outside.
when I lived in DC I walked to work an hour each day for like 4 years. fuckin loved it, lost a lot of weight and got through so many audiobooks
Describing a 10 min walk this way is the most American thing I've ever read

Today HUD released data showing homelessness has reached a record high in 2024, jumping roughly 120k compared to last year

The jump was especially pronounced in New York, which saw a 55k increase compared to last year, and Illinois, which saw a 14k increase.

Fox closed her eyes, felt the cold on her face
She smiled at the darkness, lost in winter's brace

Solstice had come, the promise of more light
Nature's cycle was done by end of this night

She wished all souls love with the return of the sun

Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others.

Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, integrity, curiosity, humility, and wisdom.

This is the most powerful question in my arsenal, and I close every session by asking it. At its most basic, mentoring is about sharing experiences, helping people grow, and assisting them in finding their path. Help is the common thread that connects everything in this space. #mentor #leadership

The courageous list! It’s a good list to check yourself against. I’d say it’s a good list to help in developing #selfawareness - and it’s ok not to be courageous sometimes because life’s tough #higherself #leadership
