#Theweekthatwas @ 01/03/2026
An up and down week, taught me that:
If your growth doesn't scare you, you're not growing enough
When we feel overwhelmed, focusing on what's in our control will shift the energy instantly
In matters close to our hearts, our Spidey senses may require some calibration
It's a sad state of affairs when corruption and evil is acceptable because it's dressed in a suit and tie
Illness of the body isn't nearly as toxic as illness of the heart
When you focus on your own growth, others around you will naturally benefit
Presence, while seemingly simplistic, is immensely powerful
"I just need to tell you something from my heart," is a wonderful way to open a tough conversation (Nancy E Presser)
"We need to talk" leads to "I need to run", Lee-Anne Werner
Fear has many faces, most of which are masks
Sometimes the excitement of a challenge is extinguished by the realities of responsibility
Much of leadership has lost its value because those holding power have forsaken their accountability
Apparently it's ok for a bully to punch a kid and then to be upset when that kid punches back
When you see yourself as a perpetual victim, you end up harming yourself and your own
When you convince others that you're the perpetual victim, you get licence to commit all forms of atrocities
Faith in the goodness of humanity has never been required more than right now
