Getting along well with other people is still the world's most needed skill. With it there is no limit to what a person can do. We need people, we need the cooperation of others. There is truly very little we can do alone.

Each day is a seed… Journaling didn’t change my life overnight—It changed me, and I changed my life.

No textbooks? No problem. 📚

There were no textbooks, so we had to write them. ~ Katherine Johnson

This quote from Katherine Johnson captures her resilience and resourcefulness. As a mathematician and NASA scientist, Johnson made groundbreaking contributions to space exploration, including verifying calculations for John Glenn’s orbital flight in 1962.

Her statement reflects the innovative mindset required to overcome challenges in uncharted territories like space exploration.

By writing the textbooks, Johnson and her colleagues not only solved immediate problems but also laid the foundation for future advancements in aerospace science. Her legacy is a testament to the power of ingenuity and determination in achieving extraordinary feats.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. The incremental, intentional steps we take shape the thought patterns and momentum that propel us forward in life. ~Earl Nightingale

Three decades after Earl Nightingale’s timeless recordings, I continue to be amazed by the depth of our potential—and how intentional action is key to creating meaningful impact.

A person finds themselves by finding their place, and they find their place by finding appropriate others needing their services and their need to care for them.

Through caring and being cared for, we experience ourselves as a part of nature; we are closest to a person or an idea when we help them grow.

In the sense in which a person can ever be said to be at home in the world, they are at home not through dominating or explaining or appreciating, but through caring (acts of service) and being cared for.

~ From the book “On Caring” by American philosopher Milton Mayeroff (1925-1979)

Reading a book can transform your life. Engaging with authors who have diverse experiences and perspectives challenges us to grow intellectually.

Learning from those who have delved deeper, ruminated longer, and perhaps prayed more, expands our understanding.

While we may not always agree with them, we are compelled to respect their insights.

[todpetty]

Today, we are presented with a pivotal decision – who do we aspire to become? We hold the power to embrace varied personas: historians, reporters, or futurists. Historians delve into the past, shaping their view of the future through historical insights. Reporters thrive in the present moment, capturing the essence of current realities. On the other hand, futurists gaze into unexplored realms, envisioning what is yet to unfold.

Choosing the path of a futurist unveils boundless possibilities and uncharted territories rich with potential. An array of opportunities awaits, urging us to broaden our horizons and unlock our innate capabilities further.

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

~ John A. Shedd, “Salt from My Attic 1928

Discovering purpose, reaching our potential and experiencing fulfillment will look different for each us and will require discipline plus faith, action over fear, new thinking, better questions and a willingness to travel beyond our comfort zone. We will have to lay aside ego and reputation – becoming the student instead of the teacher.

Destiny calls out from within us to be, do, and have more. It is the dominion mandate in all of us no matter how great or small. Time to leave the harbor…..

Change your life by simply reading a book. You will be forced to converse with people who are smarter than you. We learn from people and authors who have experienced more, thought more, reflected more, and in some cases prayed more. We may disagree with them, but we can no longer live under the illusion their positions are easily dismissed. #innovation #technology #lloydjonesseniorliving #leaders #leadership #growth https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrinaaFAlC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. The incremental, intentional steps we take create the thought patterns and momentum that push us forward in life. ~Earl Nightingale Three decades removed from the recordings of Earl Nightingale, I’m still learning how profound our potential is—and how it takes intentionality to create a maximum impact. #innovation #personalgrowth #leadership #lloydjonesseniorliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CTHwlR5LNfg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Decide today who we will be. We can be historians, reporters, or futurists. The historian wants to remind us of everything in the past and filter everything in the future through the past. The reporter is attached to conditions and circumstances today. The futurist focuses on what has not been done yet. Be a futurist! There is more for us to do. We can do, be , and have more. We can broaden our capacity. There is more of our potential we can take advantage of. #growth #leadership #innovation #lloydjonesseniorliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4XuyhrYNA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some leaders believe by keeping people in the dark, they maintain a measure of control. This belief system is a leader’s folly and an organization’s failure. Secrecy spawns isolation, not success. Knowledge is power, yes, but what leaders need is collective power, and that requires collective knowledge. The more people know what the goals are, the better buy-in we get—and the better results we achieve together. #leadership #lloydjonesseniorliving
