Articles:

Compassionate CommunicationI've witnessed first hand how compassionate communication makes or breaks relationships. Relationships with your significant other, family, friends and at work with colleagues and anyone in your community. After years of working with founders and product owners, I’ve realized that if you have a brilliant idea but can’t convey it to anyone it will not go anywhere. Compassionate communication is key to understanding and being understood. It applies to so much in life. 

Just ask the question!: So if you’re wondering whether it’s worth asking a question, the answer is yes. It’s one of the most powerful things you can do as a leader, and it’s the path to greater understanding, better ideas, and stronger connections with others.

Book recommendations:

When Things Fall Apart - Excellent book recommended to me by @kellymbattista 🙏🏽♥️❤️ super insightful. It reminds me that life is ever changing and things fall apart and come together all the time. The process of moving closer to what scares us gets us closer to the truth. Our individual truth. 📚🤓

 The Lessons of History by Will Durant - A fascinating book that covers the history of earth, biology, race, character, morals, religion, economics, socialism, government and war. It is definitely worth reading multiple times and spoiler alert..progress is real but only if you define progress as transfer of education from one generation to the next.

Worth watching:

My favorite thing on @netflix right now is the show called Explained. Explained is for people who are endlessly curious about the world around them, and their 2nd season which I just finished, covers The Mind over five (~20 min) episodes narrated by Emma Stone. 

From dreaming to anxiety disorders, exploring what's happening inside the brain. Why is human memory so bad? Why do we have so many really weird dreams? And why is anxiety the most common mental disorder? Are a few topics discussed in the show. 

The five episodes will cover:

☁️Dreams

💡Memories

😖Anxiety

🌀Mindfulness

🍄Psychedelics

Definitely worth watching>>

About Meditation: 

The purpose of meditation is to make you kind. Kind to yourself and to others.

Until next time 👋🏽

  • My wife and I want to show profound gratitude and appreciation, ever since the pandemic things have always been very difficult for me and my family, I lost my job during the stay at home and it was very difficult for me to secure a new job that was how life became terrible for me, But thank God for bringing this man into my life, Mr Bernie Doran. I read so many good reviews online on how he has been helping a lot of people both small business owners to gain financial income so I contacted him on WhatsApp and that was the day my life change began, I started with the lowest investment plan which was $1,500 and within a week I earned a profit of $18,500, since then I have been making huge profits with the help of MR Bernie Doran, Now I can do basically anything I want for myself and my family, I just can’t thank you enough ma, may God continue to reward you. I highly recommend to everyone that needs financial aid, contact him on:

    Last year I stumbled across a cryptocurrency platform Advertisement online and I felt compelled to watch them since I had little knowledge of how profitable cryptocurrency is. I was immediately intrigued by it and decided to invest with the investment firm., on my first trial, I deposited $113,000 to the platform.My profit had accumulated so quickly after 48hrs that I became more interested and decided to add $215,100 to my initial investment.on attaining my profit target I requested for withdrawals. This company then began asking for more funds to activate my withdrawals.This made me suspicious, so I decided to consult a Crypto Expert. I came across Ultimate Hacker Jerry who advised me that I had been scammed but was also an Expert in Crypto Recovery Services. This expert Ultimate Hacker Jerry was able to recover all my Crypto a total of $328,100.I must recommend this erpert to any Scam victim that has been defrauded and have your Crypto recovered back by Ultimate Hacker Jerry.
