Our Relationships of Integrity

Our Relationships of Integrity

Exchange
They are our relationships built on mutual trust and respect.

They are our relationships in which worries subside over being taken advantage of, or of needing to control.

They are our relationships where both parties act with confidence and ease.

They are our relationships in which games are not played, and expectations and needs are communicated clearly.

These are our relationships of integrity. They are our connections where we express and share without reservation.

We have examples of this kind of relationship everywhere we go. You participate in them at the restaurant you love to eat at, or the public transportation you trust to get you from A to B.

Our economy would not function without these relationships. There would be no buying or selling without them. If we look hard enough we can see that our relationships of integrity are the base of our modern economy.

There are so many people all around the world doing the right thing day after day so everyone can benefit. They are you, and they are me. We are the invisible glue that holds our economy, and our world, together.

I Want to Believe in Where You Want to Go

I Want to Believe in Where You Want to Go

Planning

I don’t believe in plans. I believe in planning.

I believe in understanding the general shape of something. I believe in knowing where you are and where you want to go.

I believe that measurable goals drive accomplishment. I believe the better you can express your vision and mission with great specificity, the easier it is for you to outline the steps needed to realize it.

I believe that once you’ve determined where you want to go, what comes next can not be determined, and likely won’t be in any plans you’ve made. I believe this truth can free you from the fear of starting and create a trust in your ability to fill in the gaps later.

I believe that starting with a blueprint, a sketch, of your dream is enough. I believe in having faith that time and experience will help shape the details, as you need them.

I believe that you know how to get you where you want to go. I believe you can get there if You believe you can get there.

I believe in you starting and I believe in you growing from there.
