Leading Thoughts for November 14, 2024

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:

I.

Josh Axe on building communities of greatness:

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking you are better off alone or that the ‘friends’ you have on social media are enough to complete your community. Instead of simply casting a wide net, go deep with your relationships. Don’t settle for having only online social media conversations or waving hi and bye to people in the school car line. Invest in communities of greatness, find a mentor, and be a mentor. We can only become who we are meant to be through the people who surround, come alongside, lead, abd follow us. Don’t just think about who you can become. Think of who your community can become.”

II.

Bob Chapman and Raj Sisodia on the ripple effect of caring:

“When so many people go home each night feeling not valued, it is no surprise that we see so much conflict in families and our communities today. We in business are creating that problem because we see people as objects for our success and not as precious human beings. If we send Steve home feeling better about himself and he, therefore has a better relationship with his wife, his kids are going to see the model behavior of their parents, and we’re going to raise happier, thriving children. This is how we can start to heal our brokenness: sending people home as better spouses, parents, children, friends, and citizens of their communities.”
