Things that deeply motivate me…
As i've matured...aka become slightly older...I'm very conscious of my finite time and energy. I can't be all for all so I have to weigh my effort/energy against the value both short/long term that I believe I can provide. Making the world a better place is not just for me but it is for you, it's corny but it is for us.
More personally, I want my 2 yr old son to live and work in a world that is kind, generous, open and inclusive. He has to carve his own path but I'm hoping the world he lives in as well as the world I get to see is better than the one I landed on :)
You will make my freakin day if you…
It's amazing what happens when we are open about our problems, challenges and what we need help with. It may feel scary to acknowledge but when you do it gives others the permission to do the same and helps to normalize the behavior and demystify the feelings behind the behavior.
We aren't know it all so why pretend that we are...you know what I mean.
