Hope is power. It fuels us, is our life force. It makes us believe that change is possible, that tomorrow will be better, that good will prevail, that we can avoid climate catastrophe. Hope inspires us to take action. Guard it. Without it we're disarmed, disempowered, vulnerable.

Amen!

@therealmissjo @ByDonkeys @elonmusk @Tesla @politicalbeauty What side of history do you want to be on? Have you ever seen an actor in a curtain call give their heart to the audience w/a thump to the chest, a grunt, an aggressive demeanour, pronounced salute? Calculated, impulsive, trolling or attention-seeking, it has empowered extremism.

@ByDonkeys @elonmusk @Tesla @politicalbeauty Germany does not take kindly to people messing about with Nazi imagery. Since you posted it on the side of the building in the belief that this is what it is then you are to blame. Elon was merely giving people his heart.

"How can I be of service to my team?" instead of "How can my team be of service to me?" is a sign of leadership maturity. Traditionally, a culture of entitlement has prevailed in leadership - the belief that it earns special privileges. Staying grounded will pay higher dividends.

Our natural response when faced with a new idea or proposal, especially one in conflict with our values, is to reject it out of hand, but reasoning often overcomes fear and over time we can find ourselves warming to it. Have you planted seeds that have taken time to germinate?

"No price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself." Read that again! #quoteoftheday #wordstoliveby

We take life for granted when we’re young, but believe me when I say that life flies by from 40 onwards!

@adeleparks Yes!

At the end of every year, John Maxwell takes himself off to his study to reflect on and evaluate what went well and what didn't. He then uses it to plan out how he intends to live this new year, make best use of his time & maximise adding value to others. Have you made a plan?

What a difference this would make if we each committed to it! ❤️

@John_Buttrick Amen to that, John! Hope you are well!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my X friends !!! 🎶All you need is love , All you need is love LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED. 🎶

Wishing all of my friends and followers a Happy New Year! Wishing you peace & success in all your endeavours in 2025 & beyond. Remember... when life seems overwhelming, focus on the things you can control. We can't solve all the worlds problems alone, but together we will rise!

I'll just park these here. Yesterday by the River Humber. The sky changed minute by minute. One of those "pinch me" moments where time seems suspended.

It's a tough gig that tests our mettle, for sure. Extreme highs & extreme lows. When we're in the doldrums or fighting bureaucracy or ill health or reading the news headlines, it's easy to forget what a MIRACLE it is that we got to share a brief moment in time on this planet. 🧵

New Years Eve is a tough day for many. Keep the hope fires burning by taking the time to check in with someone who is having a hard time or has been through one recently. Knowing that someone sees them and cares enough to reach out may make a huge difference.

So instead of feeling wound up, aggravated and frustrated... release your expectations before you express your point of view, then breathe and let it go!

Ultimately, you are as unlikely to change their point of view during one conversation any more than they would be likely to change yours! Unlearning something that has formed the basis of our beliefs and behaviours for many years, often decades, takes time.

Life's too short to fall out with people on point of principle, unless their views are so extreme as to be dangerous - then we have a moral duty to speak up. Always remember that their filter has been shaped by many different influences - just like yours! [Thread🧵]
