Embracing Obstacles: Unleashing the Possibilitarian Within
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." – Thomas Edison
Many people bemoan the obstacles they encounter in their lives, careers, and relationships, often feeling overwhelmed by the challenging emotions that accompany these hurdles. Yet, have you ever considered what the world would be like without obstacles? Contrary to popular belief, such a world would not be better; in fact, it would be far worse and could even lead to humanity's downfall.

An Inspired Poem: Sparks of Inspiration
Sparks of inspiration, they fly in the air
Tiny but mighty, they dance everywhere
Flickering, glowing, they catch our attention
A spark of an idea, a new invention
They come in different shapes and forms
A dream, a vision, a whisper, a storm
A sudden insight, a creative urge
A voice inside that's hard to purge
Igniting the spark, the fire within
The drive to create, to explore, to win
To follow the heart, to chase the dream
To make the impossible, a possible theme
Each person holds a…

An Inspired Poem: Every Day is A New Beginning
Every day is a new beginning,
A chance to start afresh.
To leave behind past mistakes,
And focus on what's next.
The sun rises in the morning,
A symbol of hope and light.
A new day dawns before us,
Full of promise and might.
The past is but a memory,
A story we've already told.
The future is unwritten,
A blank canvas to unfold.
With every breath we take,
We have the power to decide,
To live in the present moment,
And let our hearts guide.
Let go of fear and doubt,
Embrace the un…

Embracing Diversity of Thought: Are You Truly Open-minded?
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." – Aristotle
How do you know if you are truly open-minded? It is easy to assume that we are open-minded, but often we have hard edges around what we are willing to accept as true. Being genuinely open-minded isn't about being easily swayed by the opinions of others but rather about being willing to objectively consider different perspectives and beliefs.
For example, let's consider the workplace. In a d…
An Inspired Poem: One Moment of Courage
One moment of courage, a leap of faith
A chance to stand up, to face the race
To fight against the fear, the doubt, the pain
And take a step forward, again and again
It may be a simple act, a small feat
But it takes bravery, to stand on your feet
To speak up for justice, to defend the weak
To pursue your passion, no matter how bleak
It can be a choice, that changes your life
A turning point, amidst all the strife
To break the chains, of past mistakes
And find a new path, a fresh new p…
The Power of Sitting with Problems
"The art of solving problems lies in finding a balance between the opposing forces of intuition and logic." – Sylvia Boorstein
When we have a problem, our natural desire is to solve it as soon as possible. But, while some leaders will jump right in to fix a problem, wise leaders will do something completely counterintuitive.
They will see if they can sit with the problem a little longer.
How many times have you had a problem, made a quick adjustment, and then it snowballed into a big mess bec…
