  "And in between these doors, in this liminal space where my friend exists right now, I'm finding profound meaning. And simply being present, simply loving. Simply being. Bearing witness to this sacred transition. Thank you for listening, for sharing the space with me, for understanding that sometimes we need to speak our grief out loud to make sense of it. Maybe we all learn to love without holding back, knowing that loss is part of the bargain. But never reason enough to love any any less."

  "Parents use it during those sleepless nights with a newborn instead of fighting the exhaustion. We accept that the phase is hard and temporary. Students, our students, they're back at school exam periods. Instead of being overwhelmed by stress. You remember those all nighters. They acknowledge that intense studying is a part of the process. We celebrated all nighters in midnight breakfast. The magic happens when you shift from I hate that this is hard to of course this is hard. What the fuck?"

  "You've got David, who just landed your biggest client, but his bonus is the same as everyone else's. How motivated do you think he'll be next quarter? Here's the truth. Bomb talk is cheap unless you back it up with money. Good leaders don't just manage people, they invest in people. They understand that compensation should reflect contribution. So what's the game changer here? Here it is. The solution that changes everything. Make sure your people's pay matches their contribution."

• September 09, 2025@OnAcornBay | #DailyAcorn - Mind Shifting to The "ALWAYS A LEADER" Philosophy.

  Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
  
  "And I'm reminding you that leadership isn't a role you play. Sometimes it's a responsibility you carry, always. Some of us are trying not to be leaders and are just stepping in it all day long. It's okay. It's a lot more fun being a leader because you're leading yourself. You're the person you're leading. You're the team. You're the corporation. Imagine that. Thank you for listening. And thank you for working with me on this mindship."

• September 09, 2025@OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - From Transactional to Heart-Centered Communication.

  Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
  
  "I've watched people transform their marriages by simply starting to say, I missed you today instead of how was your day? I've seen friendships deepen when someone finally said, I've been feeling distant from you lately and I miss our connection. Your children, your co workers, your neighbors, they are all hungry for real connection, real human connection. When you model heart centered communication, you become the catalyst for something that is more authentic. Everywhere you go, authentic relationships. You become that catalyst."

  "Not because you don't care, but because you have shifted. So if you are in the healing phase, honor your need for privacy. Create boundaries around your energy and your story. If you are in the growth phase, embrace being picky. Your standards aren't too high. The wrong people just can't meet them. And if you found peace, celebrate, celebrate. Celebrate being unbothered. You've earned the right to move through life with grace rather than reactivity."

  "It was such a big aha moment. The fact that I was doing what I. What motivated me and doing it so well, and then to realize isn't actually what lights me up. I was just doing it because I had to do it. And I just do things well. I strive for excellence. You might realize you've been ignoring your values in certain areas of your life. You might uncover dreams you've been too busy to acknowledge. Here we are."

• September 07, 2025@OnAcornBay | Preparing For Grief.

  Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
  
  "But grief is also surrounding yourself with people and things to distract your brain from reality. Anything to get a moment's peace. The weight of it all. Grief is ugly and rough. It's not Instagram worthy. It doesn't follow a schedule. It shows up at grocery stores and in the middle of work meetings and at 3am when you're trying to sleep, sleep. So if you cannot understand why people grieve so hard for so long and so deep, consider yourself lucky to not understand."

• September 07, 2025@OnAcornBay | The Space Between Heart Beats - the Dance Of Loyalty. it was about love wearing the armor of commitment.

  Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
  
  "What if disloyalty is sometimes the highest form of loyalty? Think about it. When someone betrays a corrupt system, aren't they actually being loyal to a higher principle? That brings me to a third aha moment. The deepest one. Loyalty isn't about never leaving. It's about how you stay present, even when everything inside you wants to run. Even when staying means becoming uncomfortable with who you're becoming. I knew a woman once who stayed loyal to her marriage for 40 years."

  "And if you're going through what I did, guess what. Fixed. We're going from fixed growing instead of. I'm bad at this. I'm bad at this. Say I'm still learning. This is the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. I'm bad at this. Closes the door. Bam. I'm still learning. Opens a window to possibility. The little word still implies movement, progress, and hope. We're talking about progressive language progression."
