I've learned that without my challenges - there is no call to my better self. No demand for action, for strength and confidence and hope.

The challenger can help us become the next best version of ourselves - able to perform whether or not the change sticks around.

Today I will…..

Why I do what I do - and why I love it!

We all find ourselves holding out our cups, from time to time. Looking for a little kindness from a friend, a stranger, a passerby. A moment of patience, a little hope, a smile or hug. A tiny moment of help that’s become scarce. Moreso, online.

Unlike the business model of modern media, most of us do not hover at the thin edge of an angry, screaming breakdown when dealing with strangers. The ordinary every one of us does not seek road rage, a conflict with the restaurant hostess, or to turn an airplane into a public political agenda venue.

While it’s easy to focus today on what we can’t do anymore - in many cases only temporarily - ignite your imagination with what is finally changing after decades. Then take a moment to wonder, “Can we do better?”

It doesn’t seem healthy to comment on everything and everyone. It must drive our adrenaline crazy.

While it’s easy to focus today on what we can’t do anymore - in many cases only temporarily - ignite your imagination with what is finally changing after decades and generations of “We’ve always done it that way.”
