Spent some time Sunday hopping across tree stumps with these 7-year-olds. I got a little scared of shinning myself at one point and hesitated, to which one of them yelled, "USE ALL YOUR BRAVERY!!" which is really the best pep talk I've ever received. Sending it out to you💚

We know meaning when we see it or feel it, but what exactly is meaning? Why do we put so much importance on it? And how do we create it?
