"Notes" of An Elder ― 3.7.25

Nothing in life is of any value unless it is shared with others.

"Notes" of An Elder is a depository of pertinent information, knowledge and wisdom. Available weekly will be an elder's "thinking menu" for your use. Enjoy this bounty.

• Coaching is not about control; it's about connection. And life, in its essence, is not about winning but about showing up for the people and the missions that matter most.

• Do not shrink yourself. Do not silence your gifts. Keep moving forward, step by step.

• In a world that constantly demands your attention, find moments for stillness. For connection―with yourself.

• Never take a job for money. Always take a job for opportunity.

• It's never too late for a new beginning. The rest of your life can indeed be the best of your life. 

• Sometimes, doing the right thing is neither easy nor popular, but it is in these moments that our character and integrity are truly tested.

Ownership of the Day

• Body & Time

• Energy & Mind

• Behavior & Self-Talk

• One of the most underrated aspects of leadership is our ability to lead ourselves.

• You have to let yourself hear that still, quiet voice within, the one that whispers of a higher calling, a greater contribution.

• Don't wait for some future moment to start living your life. Start today.

• Your journey is yours, and every experience—every high and low, every joy and ache, every moment of calm and chaos, confusion and clarity—is shaping you.

• Life is short. No matter how many years we are granted, our time is finite. Yet within this reality lies a profound opportunity—to leave an imprint, to let our presence, our light, and our essence be felt. To touch and transform another life. That is a sacred responsibility.

• When the mind bullies you into believing all its worries, when it tries to drown you in doubt—pause. Breathe. Trust.
