The fear
that we might regret
isn’t it
it’s more
that living life
with constant
doubt
is not healthy
be honest about the doubt
and either find ways to remove that doubt
even if there is no guarantee

On my business card,
it says
I’m CEO
of Realizing Empathy.

When I introduce myself
I’m a coach.

But deep down
I’m
an artist.

We feel immense gratitude
when the values we wished to instill someone
is echoed from them

That makes all the effort we put int
to support others
worth ith

When we see art
we see our loneliness depicted in the art
and in that moment
we realize that we’re not alone
in our loneliness

and somehow we can feel a surge of strength supported

At the end of the day
we are all alone at some level

Unless we hold hands with another person
and die exactly at the same time with them
we will die
alone.

Unless we vow to only make decisions
unless someone else approves of our decisions
we will make decisions
alone.

The question is
are we isolated
in our loneliness
or are we
connected
through our loneliness
or supported in our loneliness

We often think
yes,
no,
and maybe
are the only three responses
we can give to
or receive from
others.

That is until we realize
that there exists
a fourth way,
which is to let’s (or help me) think
together.

There are
at least two ways
of giving advice.

One,
what most do,
is tell people
what they should do.

Two,
is laying out for people
a variety of options,
asking them to add more,
discussing their consequences or influences of their outcome
on the lives of those who choose each
then let them make the final decision

To take responsibility
isn’t to take the blame
it is to take charge
of the situation
by declaring our autonomy.

There are minor details
that warrant perfection
before release
even if it doesn’t matter
to some.

Then there are major details
that does not warrant perfection
before release
because the point
is to test our fear.

Where failure itself
will be as valuable
as success.

We are often paralyzed
in front of the prospect
of doing the latter.

“What just happened?”
I asked the founder,
noticing his facial muscles
and shoulders
relax.

“I just realized
I don’t have to force myself
to change
to be the kind of person
who takes
responsibility.”
he responded.
