The horizontal connection

1.⁠ ⁠That you’re going through a difficult situation should not stop you from helping others whenever there is a need to.
2.⁠ ⁠Don’t turn a blind eye to those in distress as long as it is in your capacity to help.
3.⁠ ⁠What you’re looking might just be lurking around, wrapped around someone in need of assistance around you.
4.⁠ ⁠People can introduce you, or share information with you. You never know who has access to what.
5.⁠ ⁠Just be ready to do for people!
– Pope

That’s not me, not what I seek

I don’t want to be the best.
I don’t want to be better than you
If I seek to be better than you,
Then, I have lowered myself to be measured by you.
Then you are the standard that I aspire to
What I want to be,
Is to be Authentic to who I am.
That makes me irreplaceable.
Because there will never be another me!
– Pope

Don’t, don’t even try

Do not compare me.
That is a trigger for me.
Make reference to case studies,
Be specific about what the other person did that you’d like me to consider or even emulate.
But,
Do not compare me with anyone!
We all have our peculiarities.
– Pope

No rush

…turn your vision into reality, one brick at a time.
– Pope

Grow, evolve

At a fundamental level, we are influenced by our primal instincts.
As we progress in our evolution, we develop the capacity to filter and guide these instincts.
When someone upsets you, your initial reaction is often an emotional one.
It requires emotional maturity to move past these innate reactions and prioritize logical responses in challenging situations.
Emotional maturity allows us to step back, consider logic, and respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. It’s a key aspect of personal growth and self-control.
– Pope

The Ultimate Factor

God is the guiding force in your journey. You’re essentially a passenger on His boat.
Then a random person claims you’re running behind schedule, and you lose your peace and get fixated on their words.
Ask yourself,
Does God ever run late?
– Pope

Tick, Tock

Time is essential.
3 months is a season.
6 months should give you results.
After spending 180 days (half a year) of your life on something (or with someone) you should be checking for results or moving on.
– Pope

Presentation

About saying hard things!
The tone will do more damage than the truth you were trying to articulate and communicate if not said out of compassion.
It’s not just about getting it off your chest, it’s about speaking it in a way that it can be received in their chest.
If you can’t say it in a way that they can receive it, then don’t say it.
– Pope

Fail, Fall, Fear

When I’m not afraid to fail, I won’t.
When I’m not afraid to fall down, falling down won’t feel like failure.
I have fallen down enough to get more comfortable with it, to know how productive it can be, how necessary it is to growth.
Still, when I sense the ground beneath me giving way, I have to remind myself that it’s OK if I falter.
I have to remind myself that it’s more than OK!
– Jan Denise
