We are making the world so much BETTER because of this
I wanted to start off with a quote by one of my favorite European street artists and political activists of our modern time.
“Your mind is working at its best when you’re being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.”
Come on- we are the leaders, the business owners, the creators, and the people to make things better. Let's figure this out...
It all seemed to flash before our eyes in just 6 months, our lives as we knew it could be taken away from us in an instant.
In no particular order of importance:
A global pandemic that can take health & loved ones away.
Exposure of the systematic failures in our country that can take innocent lives & rights away.
An economic downturn that can take money, business, legacy & fortune away.
And even more evidence of the crippling actions to destroy our planet & environment that can take our future away.
Alright, now what?
We know our power here. We've been hurt and felt so robbed of life itself. But what has this done to us to make us better?
What are we doing with this newfound understanding of what can be taken away tomorrow from us and how can we protect what we value most?
How much clearer do we now see in the purpose of living a fulfilling life and building a business to make the world a better place for those around us - it's right here, today, right here, right now!
It seems like moving forward is the biggest challenge of all
It’s been depressing, frustrating, and filled with pain over the last 6 months. DRAINING is one way to put it.
It's in our personal lives, our relationships, and in our business. It’s noisy. It's loud. It’s distracting.
Before you know it, you are filling up your entire week with things you don’t want to do, hear, see, or experience because we have lost clarity on what our intentions are on making proactive choices on how to lead and guide us as problem solvers.
It's okay, this hasn't been your fault at all. But we do now know what we need to do-
It’s time to get intentional.
I hope you find this email series coming to you each Sunday to not be depressing and shining more light on the problems of the world. I really don’t want you to feel that at all!
Instead, to be refreshing, uplifting & a reminder to just stay connected to your true purpose.
You see, when we are intentional about the way we start to approach the world, create a vision, and to get the path of action steps laid out, great things start happening, especially in our businesses.
Our businesses DO make an incredible impact on the world. Don't forget that!
Taking these intentional thoughts to start with our understanding of what we want, how we are going to get there, and visit our plan frequently - it actually makes a difference, makes an impact, and we can work toward the change we want to see to make things BETTER!
