To whom are you loyal and why?

 

To whom are you loyal and why?

Many organizations lose good employees, not because the company is questionable, but because a particular leader is.

A daily obligation to make people feel something.

Inspiration is the main job of leadership.

One of society’s dirty little secrets, and a great source of codependence

American Flag blowing in the wind with dark skies behind it

 

While celebrating our birthdays is socially acceptable and expected, finding our life’s purpose is not.

One of society’s dirty little secrets, and a great source of codependence.

The norm is to get a job to pay the bills.

Because it is such an overwhelmingly common, well-worn path, we will die not ever really have lived.

Break the mold.

Follow your own path.

Do good and decent work.

Be inspired and inspiring.

Happy birthday Chapin.

Do the mundane with joy and gratitude

 

Be positive and find joy and gratitude in the ‘have-to-do’ parts of your job.

Why?

Because all ‘get-to-do’ parts come with a price.

Be willing to pay it or do something else.

And know the grass ain’t always greener on the other side.

This isn’t rocket surgery.
