Changing culture takes time. Every day is a battle against ego, insecurity, self-preservation, busyness. What was good yesterday can be on shaky ground today. But the fight is worth it. Believe in yourself, your people, and the vision. Celebrate progress. Show up daily.

Are you looking for things to complain about or for things to celebrate? You’ll find what you look for. Perspective is everything.
