DAY 061 – Learn to Love Kindness

Taking revenge even against someone often hurts you more. It takes an incredible amount of energy to think, plan and execute on revenge. You may think, “Oh I would never hurt anybody!” But revenge isn’t always about physically hurting another person. Something as simple as spreading a false rumor can have a butterfly effect that almost always comes back to you. I remember talking with my ex’s aunt and uncle and said somethings about my brother. In a matter of days I found myself three states away in a driveway at night having to explain myself to my brother! I’m thankful for that lesson. It taught me firsthand to learn to love kindness.

DAY 060 Find Something You Love and Fight for It

To fight for something is as human as our need to breathe. People fight for relationships, jobs, pets, and even their ideals (wrong or right). We even get caught up in the fights of others, sometimes before we even understand the reasons. I’ve been spending more and more time, fighting for the things “I” love. I’ve been putting in the work. Building key family brands and helping organizations tell their stories visually is my passion.

DAY 057 – Take One Step

What saves a man or woman is to take but one step towards their goal. Every journey begins with but a single step. Imagine that.

It doesn’t matter how big or how impactful your first step is. Just make the movement. Make some movement

DAY 056 Living in the Past

It is hard to dismiss our past accolades. I have a shelf full of trophies and awards that I have gotten throughout my life. I know people in their 40’s still boasting of high school sports feats. I can sense their genuine excitement, so I know the feeling is real. The danger comes when we fail to move forward and strive to be better. I was once manager of the quarter at AutoTrader / COX Automotive, but I wouldn’t dare approach new jobs and projects as if I deserved a hand up because of that. You rarely get a team full of superstars at a company with the best benefits where everyone makes their desired salaries and customers never complain. See how far-fetched that sounds?

DAY 053 Your Experiences Make You Who You Are

I often talk to those that I mentor about their experiences and how they shape who they are. When we are young, we often make bad decisions based on several factors including fear, peer pressure, and ignorance. As a manager, I often have employees confide in me about things that are not necessarily work related. Early in my career, one particular employee was struggling with life and self confidence at one point and my response begin with “you are a beautiful and smart woman….”. She stopped me mid-sentence and told me she did not care about her being beautiful. She asked me what that had to do with anything.
