VALUED NOTES:
- A lot of times we get frozen in being good at something and it prevents us from trying something new because we don’t want to make a mistake so it keeps us from future blessings, opportunities, and friendships
- Take the time, thoughtfully, to really understand and know your purpose.
- Everything becomes easier when you know your purpose because you now know what to say ‘no’ to and what to say ‘yes’ to.
- Even when things are not going well when you’re pursuing your passions you’re able to keep going because you’re inside your purpose.
- People of color have more degrees than a thermometer - it’s not about skill. It’s about the systemic challenges inherent to the system.
VALUED QUOTES:
- Have the courage to make one million mistakes, but the wisdom to not make the same mistake one million times.
- If you learn a lesson from every mistake, imagine how smart you’re going to be if you’ve made a million mistakes but they’re all new mistakes and you’re learning from each one.
- For people of color, it’s not a corporate ladder. For many people of color it’s a corporate mountain and the experience is very different.
- Wake up each day and advance your mission by at least one inch.
- Leadership and learning are the number 1 transferable skills.
