Life: After SchoolHopeWe live in times of several upheavals in several places. For some, it can be life altering. For some, giving up is just they don't want to do, but do not know what to do next. For some, hope is dwindling. Fast.
This podcast is not meant to be preachy, but I sense this is meant for a friend, someone out there in the world, who is confused, but is still holding on. I do not know you. But this is for you.
Hope.

Life: After SchoolGet KnowledgeIn this episode, I read a snippet of Ben Carson's book, "Think Big". It is a great book with great lessons.
We live in a world awash with noise, and information. You will need to dedicate time to acquire knowledge.
This isn't about amassing information, which can be rather unstructured. This is allowing your education to continue,structured, at your own pace, fueled by passion, way after school years.
No knowledge is ever wasted.
And you never can tell when that tiny bit of knowledge you gained can be the tipping...2023-06-0509 min

Life: After SchoolStewards and leadersThey are not bosses. They aren't bossy, or arrogant. They simply serve, and they lead.
Unassuming. No big swag. Easy to overlook. Yet, they are custodians of power. Clark Kent at work. Superman at heart.
At their essence, steward leaders are fully invested in something bigger than themselves. They combine both deep personal engagement with a bigger-than-them transcendent perspective that allows them to make lasting impacts in the lives of others.
Is that you?

Life: After SchoolEstablish your valuesValues are a set of pillars that form your foundation. They are a set of rules you choose to known for and answer to.
Question: What are you known for? Do you have a set of values that have almost become synonymous with you?
Integrity, kindness, honesty, and financial security are typical examples of personal core values. Others often see these values as your character traits. For example, someone is known for always doing the right thing likely values integrity.
Do you have any? Listen...

Life: After SchoolOne Percent Kindness, Every Day.Awhile ago, 4 of my former students ganged up to give me a surprise gift, and Oh, how it made the sun shine brighter! I told everyone what they'd done!!
The world is experiencing meanness on a level that is escalating, with everyone and every nation intent on fighting their own private battles. At times like this, a little kindness, even if its 1% each day, can go a long way.
It was John Ruskin who said "a little thought, and a little kindness, are often worth much more than a great deal of money."

You should. You must.
Family matters. Family does matter. In a world with an ever-increasing disdain of family and family values, many young men and women do not know where to turn to. Fathers are scarce. Moms are busy. Roles are changing. Babies get married. Babies giving birth to babies.
