Courage is a mindset

Twitter screen shot quoting Ukrainian President Zelensky
Twitter, Feb 26, 2022.

It’s embarrassing how much emotional labor i’m investing in our small neighborhood division – division that prompts some neighbors to stop waving, stop saying hi, and stop communicating altogether.

Ukrainian President Zelensky is facing a literal certain death.

The world is watching.

Can you imagine being him?

Can you imagine being any Ukrainian citizen?

Can you imagine the feeling knowing the whole world is watching, but that’s literally all it feels like to you – just watching.

Zelensky sums up USA’s offer to evacuate him from Kyiv so simply,

The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Volodymyr Zelensky, Feb 26, 2022

Noteworthy: America had to offer the evacuation. It’s the American thing to do. It was a legit offer.

Stop quoting others

Taking the path less traveled (by Sandhill Cranes).

Quote others for as long as it serves you.

Be present, mindful, and motivated to recognize when it’s time to stop quoting others.

When you shift to being in charge of your life – CEO of You, Inc – you should only quote yourself. Why? Because you should be able to internalize life’s most important “quotes” in your own words.

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Persistence can’t be lonely.
