Words have weight. A simple comment—thoughtless, casual—can shape the way we see ourselves, especially as kids. When my son fell while skiing, a woman told him, “You’re an accident waiting to happen.” She probably didn’t mean any harm, but what if he believed her? What if that label stuck?

In life, we all carry words that were never true to begin with. The question is: Which ones are you still holding onto?

We think we’re listening — but are we?

Most of us listen to agree, disagree, or respond — not to truly understand. But what if real listening means letting go of our filters and looking for value in what’s being said?

In a world full of noise, real listening is a superpower — and it can change everything.

Just for today, what if frustration and overwhelm weren’t an option?

Small actions done with consistency create velocity. And it's the velocity that we all want.

Confidence? Nah, you don’t need it.
