10 Visuals that will change the way you think. Shift how you perceive things. Thank you to Pejman Milani for these fantastic visuals 🔥 1. Writing > Thinking ↳ Writing your thoughts down creates clarity. ↳ A clear mind is sharper, more productive, and more effective. 2. Managing vs leadership ↳ A manager restricts you, whereas a leader guides you. ↳ Leaders make a real impact, whereas managers only make decisions. 3. Don’t use fancy words ↳ Simple sells. Using complicated language only limits you. ↳ The goal should be to make people understand your thought process. 4. The power of purpose ↳ It’s perfectly normal to experience imposter syndrome. ↳ But once you find your purpose you will be able to push past it. 5. The truth about failure ↳ Failure is never a bad thing as long as you learn. ↳ Shift your mindset to view failure as an opportunity. 6. Storytelling and its impact ↳ The impact of a story depends on how you tell it. ↳ Storytelling is one of the highest-leverage skills you can build. 7. Resourcefulness is key ↳ Most of us have access to the right tools yet won’t use them. ↳ Be resourceful and leverage these tools to help you unlock success. 8. Clarity with writing ↳ Writing stops you from being stuck in your own thoughts. ↳ Even 5 minutes can make a huge difference to your clarity levels. 9. Complete creativity ↳ Creativity can come from anything, not just your positivity. ↳ Embrace all emotions and learn to leverage them to your advantage. 10. Fill your cup first ↳ You have to be at your best to give your best to others. ↳ It’s much easier to help others when you are feeling great yourself. 10 truly incredible lessons.

The 13 Virtues of Benjamin Franklin As one of the United States' founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin paved a path like few others. His contributions to science, society, and government have left an everlasting mark on history. The 13 virtues developed by Franklin are noble guidelines we can all live by. Ironically, there is a bit of hypocrisy built into this, as there are many accounts, including those from Franklin himself, that demonstrate he didn't always follow these virtues in his own personal life. Nevertheless, I believe these virtues were a way for Franklin to help others avoid some of the pitfalls he may have experienced in his life. A lot can be said for someone who is willing to recognize their own personal faults and misgivings in order to help others do the same. You can see this in Franklin's contributions to science and his servitude towards society. Just the lightning rod contribution he offered immediately into the public domain saved countless lives. Perhaps some of his late-night parties in Paris helped establish a future for this country beyond bureaucrats and politicians in the chambers of government. The purpose of this post is to share each virtue daily while opening up the opportunity for discussion.
