"Notes" of An Elder
Everyone else is already taken, so realize we're only shortchanging ourselves and those we lead if we don't show up as ourselves.
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.
Each day is a unique opportunity to plant the seeds for the relationships we envision for tomorrow.
As leaders and positive difference-makers, we are responsible for pouring empathy, courage, and compassion into others.
When we take the time to distinguish between internal and external motivators, we can improve our relationship with ourselves with greater intention, clarity, and connection.
Understand we have a choice of either welcoming change or resisting change.
Realize there’s always a price we have to pay directly or indirectly as we grow.
To lead others, we must also cultivate moments each day for ourselves, our own growth, and our own discoveries.
The Currency of Life
Relationships are the currency of life ― and the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself.
Relationships are investments of:
time
creativity
energy
and equity
When we make daily deposits into our personal growth, we focus on the task at hand instead of drifting too far into the past or future.
If we are constantly consumed by our mental chatter, technology, or reacting to external situations, we become unaware of our breath and own state of being.
Each day we should let go of the role of feeling the need to be perfect. It only creates stagnation, procrastination, and inner turbulence.
The seed of greatness takes time to grow and blossom. Patience becomes a transformative virtue.
Everyone else is already taken, so realize we're only shortchanging ourselves and those we lead if we don't show up as ourselves.
Magic Question
As a leader, regardless of my profession, how am I actively contributing to leaving the spaces I occupy and influence better than I found them?

Future of Smart Shades
Missed Out on Shark Tank’s Big Wins? Don’t Miss RYSE
The hit show Shark Tank has introduced the world to some of today’s most successful brands:
Bombas – raised $200M in follow-on investment
Scrub Daddy – over $300M in sales
Ring – valued at $7M on Shark Tank, later acquired by Amazon for $1.2B, after all the Sharks passed!
Now, Dragon’s Den (the International version of Shark Tank) is proving to be another launchpad for promising brands, and RYSE Smart Shades secured not just one, but two offers from the Dragons. For a limited time, you have the chance to invest alongside the Dragons in a brand that could become the next household name.
With their breakthrough smart shade technology and distribution already in 127 Best Buy stores, RYSE is poised to be a big thing in tech!
This is your chance to invest early in a smart home company with big momentum.
