"Time is either invested or spent.
​

Invested time = actions that compound:

• Reading
• Physical activity
• Mindfulness
• Relationship building
​

Spent time = actions that don’t.
​

When choosing what to do, prioritize investing time, not spending it."

The vast majority of people (84%) regularly work with 1 to 5 complicated people. That's a relatively small number of individuals.

We have become a culture where talking to an actual person is a luxury

Talk like you're right, listen like you're wrong

Authenticity is a report on what I did, and vulnerability is admitting what I can't do.

the characteristics that make for humility: trust (Matt. 18:6), dependence, the desire to make others happy, an absence of boasting or selfish desire to be greater than others.
