Today, I had an avalanche of meetings, webinars and frontline commitments.
It was one of those days where from the start, you just let go and let the day lead you.
One thing is clear though – nowhere provides more practical wisdom than the front line.
Everywhere else has so much posturing – form is prioritised over substance.
I am thankful for frontline workers and the sanity check they freely offer to direction.

Yes
One of the most beautiful sights to behold is to see a person get a “Yes” after so many “Nos”.
It is easy to speak about going through difficult times with grace, but it is a difficult lived reality.
Every “No” holds no higher meaning until you get the first “Yes”.
Without a yes, sticking to something is termed stubbornness. Stubbornness has a negative connotation.
With a yes, sticking to something is termed persistence. All of a sudden, that yes makes your position positive.
Just like the sun wakes up a plant with renewed vitality, a yes lifts the soul.
Without being overburdened, if you can, give a “Yes” to someone. It gives everything that came before meaning. It is life changing.
Give a “Yes” to yourself. That revitalizing activity you have been postponing because all other responsibilities say “No”, do it.
“Nos” are designed to free up space for an important “Yes”. Without a yes, life can end up being empty.
