There’s a time to work
And a time to make merry 💃🏻

This is the last week of 2022
And I hope you get to let your hair down 🥂

Happy Christmas 🎄

A true sign of personal mastery is to move from reaction to response, and the biggest challenge here is when someone falters.
We all make mistakes and we all have our inadequacies but when you're a team lead it's critical to focus on the important things, in order to
🎯 Build a resilient team
🎯 Boost employee morale
🎯 Get the job done

Remove the person from the mistake and focus on making progress.

Have you tried any of these strategies?
How do you deal with your team's mistakes?

Are you confusing your identity with your sense of self worth?

Simone Biles, one of the greatest and most dominant gymnasts of all time, is in the news for showing grit and courage, yet again.

And this time, she has shown the courage to choose her own feelings over some mindless pursuit of further greatness.

Simone Biles withdrew first from the women’s team event, and then, yesterday, from today’s individual all-around event citing mental health issues.
This was meant to be Her Olympics. She was not just slated to win but also set a new benchmark for herself by beating her own previous achievements. However, she decided to withdraw instead, challenging the notion that elite athletes are forged of steel in mind and body, and must not show vulnerability or frailty.

“We have to protect our mind and our body rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do,” Biles told the press.

She is a brilliant role model for everyone who confuse their titles, designations, and workplace achievements with their true worth in life.

You are more than your title.
You are more than your net worth.
You are more than what the world knows you for.

Do not confuse the current identity badge you wear with your actual self worth.
You are more than your accomplishments.

Step out to embrace yourself in all your glory.

There was a time, several years ago when all I spoke about was doing something meaningful with my life.
What I really wanted was to resourcefully use my time and do something for myself that made me feel fulfilled.

I was tangled in my own confused mess because what I actually did was to allow everything and everyone else take priority instead.

Setting the bar too high and too far made it more confusing and frustrating.
Until I finally learned to break it down into the smallest, nearest and simplest activity, preferably within my existing ecosystem.

I spent time with a mentor. I found myself a coach. I started working out with my neighbours.

These small successes helped channel my energy, focus my thoughts and inspired me to take bigger leaps into setting up my business and registering my own company.

Now what’s the one idea you’ve been sitting on for a while, or years!?

What’s the first step you’re going to take this month?
