If you want different results, don’t start with rules—start with experiences. People’s beliefs and actions come from their lived experiences. When leaders dismiss feedback, employees stop sharing ideas. When students fear mistakes, they stop trying. Shift the experience, and you shift the mindset—driving real, lasting change.
The world will try to harden them. But we don’t have to. I choose to guard their hearts—so they can stand strong in it. Because love is patience—long-suffering—enduring chaos for joy. Guard your heart—it’s life’s wellspring. Then guard theirs.
Self-awareness is the foundation of everything. Without it, teachability stalls. Attitude is reactive. Relationships suffer. Significance fades. The moment you truly see yourself—your patterns, reactions, and values—you begin to shape not just your own future, but the future of those you love.
A lighthouse does not move toward lost ships; it stands firm, shining so that others can find their way. A true leader does not just accumulate success; they illuminate the path for others.
