Scientists believe it takes around 100,000 years for light to go from one end of the Milky Way to the other.
How about we take a few seconds and share the light with the person we pass on the sidewalk, at the coffee shop or down the hall at work?
Have you ever noticed the relationship between wind and fire?
The same wind can put out a small flame and feed a large inferno.
So can the words from your heart. They can overpower the weak when delivered without care and love.
They can also be the encouragement and motivation even when the strong are struggling.
Sometimes we have to be told.
It can be to ground us or to inspire us.
And, in a word, it can simply refer to a land mass in the western hemisphere that separates the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It can be North, Central, Latin or South.
But to most of us, it is simply home. A home that is founded on liberty and freedom, ideals that should never be taken for granted.
Keep your spirit high. Face new frontiers. Spread your golden dreams.*

As leaders, we often want to “fix” a problem when we see one right in front of us.
Instead of fixing, can we turn it into a teaching moment? Handling a situation gently is much better than stepping in and wrecking the whole thing.
If you constantly tell your team members the answer to the question instead of teaching them how to discover a solution are you really leading?
“Give a man a fish . . . “
