The device you're using to read this is less than 10% of your visual field right now.

Who or what is in the other 90% that might be better deserving of your attention?
I'm not judging. I'm reminding myself.

Action is the shortest path to clarity.

When something is different or unexpected, we snap to attention.
When a small act of kindness is done to/for us, we get the warm and fuzzies and feel a little better about the world.

The recipe, then, is to do an unexpected act of kindness.
(Or do it in an unexpected way)

You've heard this quote before. But what will you do differently this time:

"I have learned that people will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

Your memory is state-dependent.
When you're upset, you can think of all of their violations and faults.
When you're grateful, you can remember all of those wonderful moments together.

Change your state and you'll literally change which memories are available.

Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, McDonald's, Fan Duel, Philip Morris, etc.
They devote billions of dollars to influence your loved ones to do the very things that you're trying to undo.

But, you have a secret weapon that they don't - the one-on-one connection.
Don't underestimate it.

Humans are far more nuanced than the posts in your feed imply.
Give the humans in your life some grace.
Give them the benefit of the doubt.
Do the same for you, too.

Small shifts can create avalanches when applied at the right moments.
But can those small shifts happen in a single conversation?
Yep. And I'm going to give you the map (soon):

Hearing and listening are not the same thing.

One has intent.

In a time of uncertainty, we tend to do what the group does (social proof - Cialdini)

So… be VERY careful about your group.

Energy follows attention.
Attention follows influence.

You have a choice. You can be deliberate about it, or
You can be subjected to it.
If you scroll, you made a choice.
If you close this app and reach out to someone (who might really need it btw), that's a far better choice.

You're either influencing yourself
or someone else is.

You're either influencing those you care about
or someone else is.

One of the single, highest-yield things you can work on this coming new year is your own self-talk.

About you. About others. And about events that occur in your life.
That little voice inside of your head is a habit.
Treat it that way.

Today is my birthday.

If I have ever served you - in my speaking, teaching, coaching or even just general kindness, I’d love to hear about it.

Many people think difficult conversations fail due to the words we say.

They usually fail because of:
• bad timing
• emotional unreadiness
• weak rapport
• poor framing

The conversation starts before the first sentence is uttered.

There's someone in your life who would light up if you reached out to them right now. So, duh! Do it!

Brighten their day. Stop scrolling for a second. Let them know you're thinking of them.
