Go take a leap!

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader --

Fun fact: leap year occurs in each year that is a multiple of 4 (except for years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400).

🤣🤣🤣 that last part about divisible by 100 but not 400 is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Despite this, we are honoring February 29th this week by making this week's #ShowUpPositive Spark LEAP.

And specifically, I want to challenge you to make a "Leap of Faith" this week--taking a chance without solid assurance or guarantees of the outcome, requiring courage and belief in oneself or others.

Go ahead, Reader, step out of your comfort zone this week and take a risk that could leap your career or happiness forward.

Maybe it is having a conversation you've been avoiding.

Perhaps it is owning your "no" and declining an obligation.

Possibly, it is making an investment in yourself.

Here's the thing I know. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

So Reader, give yourself permission to take the shot this week and see what happens.

I've been making a habit of taking leaps of faith since last year.

Some pay off immediately, and some have taken a year.

In all cases, I'm moving forward in the direction I want to go.

Nobody should believe in you more than you believe in yourself.

So go take a LEAP --- and have a fabulous week!

Reader, thanks for inviting me back to your inbox. Because we've been hanging out for a while, you know how much I value the community I've found through the World Happiness Summit (WOHASU). These thought leaders and exceptional practitioners continue to inspire and uplift me. And it only seems right for me to share that with the world. That is why I am stealing the words of Dr. Cree Scott for this week's #ShowUpPositive Spark, HOPE. STOP 🛑 Don't assume you know about hope and can stop...

Reader, don't believe anyone who tells you being a renegade is bad. Recently, I took the stage in Indianapolis to deliver my 5-minute micro talk that would disrupt the thinking in the room. Sometimes being the renegade voice is necessary to snap a system out of complacency. I so firmly believe in this message that I am asking you to click the button below and watch the talk to propel it to the website's most-watched list.

Reader, here's why and how to cast your anchor. Dr. Michael Steger leads the Center for Meaning and Purpose. At the World Happiness Summit (WOHASU), he shared some shocking information: "Modern economies satisfy people... but they wither Meaning & Purpose and amplify desperation." His call to action to identify your purpose inspired this week's #ShowUpPositive Spark, PURPOSEFUL. When you are purposeful, you operate from purpose. Which begs the question -- what is your purpose? Citizens...
