No Thanks!
When you get bad service from a restaurant, you won’t go back there if they show no remorse or accountability for how they treated you. That’s boycotting. Boycotting products or people who enable harm on others is no different. It’s a choice that reflects who we claim to be and what we want to be…

Hypocrisy destroys you
Avoiding the truth to avoid responsibility is an exercise in hypocrisy. Supporting oppression to avoid the loss of privilege is an exercise in hypocrisy. Hypocrisy harms the hypocrite more than it ever harms others. The ones who experience such hypocrisy can still act against it, and can champion a cause to resist it. The hypocrite,…

Dignity is the ultimate social currency. With dignity comes accountability and self awareness. Or perhaps dignity is only possible through self awareness and accountability.

With whom are you competing?
Who are you really competing with in life? The only person you should be competing with is the one you were yesterday! The most common limiting belief that I encounter in others is the belief that they’re not as good as others. The way I encounter this within myself is when I question whether I’m…

Who’s doing you in?
This is a phenomenon that I encountered regularly in the corporate world. When your performance appraisal is reviewed against your targets only, but all mitigating circumstances are dismissed, understand that they’re not interested in rating your performance, they’re interested in finding someone to blame for their lack of competence, or lack of support. If, however,…
