Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.
Guess that makes some people geniuses.
Have made more mistakes speaking than most people have given speeches. Meaning, have easily made 1,000 speaking mistakes (accidents) and few people have given 1,000 speeches.
Crave two types of failure.
Unintentional (accidental) failure.
Intentional (over-focused) failure.

Racism, to me, feels like an extension of a larger issue, discrimination. i am not smart enough to speak expertly, only as a novice. A novice with 60+ years of observation experience.
Discrimination, in my opinion and from my six decades of experience, is rooted in strongly held stereotypes.
Ironically, stereotypes are nondiscriminatory.
There are many “categories” ripe for creating stereotypes.
Age, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual preference, height, weight, hair color, hair style, hair length, the car (or truck) you drive (or public transportation you use), job experience, socio-economics, clothes, marriage status, kids or no kids, zip code, political affiliation, accents, glasses or no glasses, education level, hobbies, active or inactive lifestyle, and a litany of endless other categories.
The older you get, stereotypically, the more you’ve seen, learned, and experienced. You learn there are now things that matter that you didn’t think mattered before. You learn there are things that don’t matter that you once thought were written in stone (for example, marriage is between a man and woman).
Here’s to a future that’s not only better than now, but much better than now.
A future with no negative stereotypes, no racism, no hate. A future filled with positive stereotypes, unconditional acceptance, never-ending love.

A smart person in our circle of trusted friends believes An Inconvenient Truth is a lie.
Copy and paste from yesterday’s email to him…
Watched An Inconvenient Truth this morning. Assuming you’ve seen it. Can’t tell if it’s the slickest sales presentation ever or perhaps the most compelling thread for transformation global change.
Song from the movie, performed by Melissa Etheridge.

When you don’t surrender.
Not surrendering to your artistry holds you back.
Being held back denies what could have, should have, would have, been.
Regret seeps in slowly and over your lifetime you become a shell of the person you had hoped to become.
Learning how and when to surrender, and continuously honing this skill, allows for healthy risk-taking.
Healthy risk-taking leads to break throughs.
Breakthroughs define and enhance your artistry.

Only three things happen naturally at work (in careers): Need, anxiety, and a rut so deep you can’t climb out. Everything else takes a growth mindset.
Work vibrancy is easier with a growth mindset: intentionally over-focusing on becoming an artist in a way that your younger self under-focused on or ignored.
