Flippin’ amazing, just like she had hoped. Like the prediction yesterday, the desire to be flippin’ amazing paid off.

We know this, no?

As our patience grows in our impatient world, we become better leaders.

In a world touting fierce, fiery, impatient leaders (think Hell’s Kitchen), we are perversely led to believe that this behavior is gutsy and commanding.

Commanding yes. Gutsy, no.

Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama.

We may never understand this.

Lack of understanding never diminishes it’s secret power.
