F’ffed up? Hey, we all do it. Sometimes bigger than others. In any case, is it a setback to be ashamed of and kick ourselves over, or a learning opportunity that can produce a future altogether more powerful than the one we’d have had were this to have never happened?

It’s a decision.

Do you and those you work with nurture and empower your prospective clients with the bravery to do what is best for them?

Will you stay attached to these “because they’re yours”,

Will you release what won’t get you where you need to go, for the benefit of your cause and those pursuing it with you?

There are enough obstacles out there. Lean into them, and consider doing so with a letter from your past - a living memory - to help you stay the course.

We all have goals. The trick is being honest enough with ourselves to know if we’ve really set the right ones.

Exactly who are you doing all of this for?

My gift to difference-makers like you has become a gift to me, too.

Thank you.

Allow me to pose it to you: What are some ways someone can ‘love them first, ask questions later’?

Authenticity is important, such as in a trusting personal relationship where you go to heal, grow and nurture. But in the marketplace, authenticity’s praise often casts a shadow over consistency, sensitivity and empathy.

You’re there for them, not for you.

So what’s the solution to the noise? Care more.
