Day #519 A Degree of Calm

Our vulnerable and powerful selves

Last night i started to worry that recently i keep sharing here that i’m tired, or flustered, or busy. That perhaps i should be more polished in what i share. Or that i should more carefully curate an image.

Perhaps i do, in other spaces. But here - well, that’s just how it is. I think it’s ok to be realistic: we have a two year old, a four year old, two careers, and one set of hours in the day.

Our vulnerable ‘self’, and our ‘powerful’ self may feel separate, but perhaps they are just two sides of the same coin. Or sometimes the same thing.

Use your sixty seconds today to flip that coin and see which side comes up.

Also, to recognise that sometimes things come in waves: it’s ok if, for a while, those waves crash over you. And perhaps, as an act of Social Leadership, to see if anyone around you is struggling in the surf.
