💭 Today’s Thought
This week, ponder the following question and see how it sits for you:
I have the support I need, but am I able and willing to accept it?
If this feels like a wholehearted “yes”, take a minute to express some gratitude (to yourself or to others) for the people and systems that support you.
If this feels like a “no” in some way, journal or think about what gets in the way of saying “yes”. How are you either not able or not willing to accept it?
📚 Today’s Read
We all take many things as given. This perception defines how we think and operate. But many of the things that we see as objective constraints are actually choices we or someone else made along the way. Here is how to allow yourself to choose right.
This article by Noa Ganot provides a helpful framework for thinking about constraints, and useful steps that leaders like you can go through to choose a strategic direction that feels empowering (in spite of their constraints).
See you next week!
