3 Big Ideas, Tips or Strategies for this week
1. Key Resource – You don’t need to be a great graphic artist to create your social media posts, backgrounds, and other graphical content because you can use an online tool called CANVA that comes with templates for pretty much everything you need to display your content in images, pictures, and icons. It’s super-easy and has tons of examples for each and every category imaginable. In fact, the cover graphic for this newsletter is prepared using Canva! Try it.
2. Big Changes – “Breakthroughs happen in your life because of two things. Either something comes to you (like winning a lottery, marrying a rich spouse) OR something comes from within you (like your work, content, teachings, training, coaching, etc.)”.

3. First 100 Days – Major life changes like moving to a new city, starting a new job, ending a relationship, getting married, having kids, etc – will often make life harder for the first 100 days before improving. This is not always true, but it’s a nice reminder that experiencing early struggle doesn’t mean it was a bad choice.

2 Stories, Quotes, or Case-Studies for this week
1. The Real Truth.
”There comes a time in when we resolve to speak the truth but we fail to utter the truth as fear engulfs us. Speaking about an incident or occurrence or speaking about one’s own mistakes-is it speaking the truth? No, it’s mere retelling it. Meaning, just narrating an occurrence. But, sometimes even when retelling we feel fear. A concern for others arises in our heart. Even the fear of causing sorrow to someone, stops the words from flowing out. Then, what is the real truth? Have we ever thought about it?
While being fearful, if someone speaks the facts, then, that is the truth. In reality, the truth is nothing but another name for fearlessness. And there’s no specific time to be fearless, because fearlessness is the nature of the soul. In other words, isn’t every moment the right time to be fearless and speak the truth? Think about it.”

2. The Law of the Garbage Truck!
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving along when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly.
So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’ This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, resentments, anger, and frustration.
