A battle between two wolves is inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth. Which wolf wins? The one we feed.
“Power alone can erode empathy and cause conflict whereas gentle power is balanced… courage without violence, strength without harshness, love without anger.” @EmiliaLahti
@EmiliaLahti “When we give someone space to share what they're going through personally or professionally, we help them feel seen, heard, and valued. Empathy is essential to good leadership.” @simonsinek
@EmiliaLahti@simonsinek “When you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize that they create their own love, manufacture their own meaning, generate their own motivation.” @neiltyson 70/

When day comes, we step out of the shade,
Aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it,
For there is always light if only we're brave enough to see it,
If only we're brave enough to BE it. @TheAmandaGorman✨71/
@EmiliaLahti@simonsinek@neiltyson@TheAmandaGorman Confess your hidden faults.
Approach what you find repulsive.
Help those you think you cannot help.
Anything you are attached to, let it go.
Go to the places that scare you.
