It's depressing to ruminate about the doors that closed yesterday. It's liberating to look for the doors that are open today. You can't change who you've been. It's never too late to choose who you want to become. Identity is a decision, not a destiny. nytimes.com/2022/02/25/opi…

'Listening allows us to practice two elements of mindfulness: awareness—⁣bringing attention to the present moment by observing one’s thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment—and acceptance of whatever is happening in that moment.'

What a gift this is going to be from Lisa Baylis !

Kindness goes a long way.

The person who makes you smarter isn't always the smartest one in the room. Often it's the most curious one in the room. "Why do we do that?" leads you to question old assumptions. "What if?" opens your eyes to new possibilities. Inquisitive people are catalysts for learning.

Thank you for bringing more beauty into this world 💕

Don’t mistake a lapse in judgment for a lack of character. We all have moments when we fail to live up to our principles. Humility is how quickly you recognize it, and integrity is how hard you work to rectify it. Character is striving to become the person you claim to be.

“Accountability means being responsible for yourself, your intentions, words, and actions. It means entering a space with good intentions, but understanding that aligning your intent with action is the true test of commitment.” — Elise Ahenkorah (she/her) link.medium.com/H6A7O7dCopb

We often underestimate introverts because they exude less confidence than extraverts. What matters is the competence they possess, not the conviction they express. Bet on the person who does the most preparation over the one who shows the most passion. tedtalks.social/WLAdam
