Success Thought of the Day – 8/3/21

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends. - J. K. Rowling

What does standing up to your friends look like in action?  Truth in love.

  • If your friend is operating below their potential, tell them.
  • If your friend has neglected to write down their vision, tell them.
  • If your friend has not translated that vision into tangible goals, tell them.
  • If your friend is not taking personal accountability and tends to blame others, tell them.
  • If your friend constantly practices negative self-talk, cutting themselves short, tell them.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly (this is where a lot of the LOVE kicks in), tell them how you will help them.

Have a great day!
James

P.S. If you’re my friend and see these things, I permit you to tell me! 🙂
