🔍 Seeing the good in things and others starts with intentionally shifting your focus from negativity to positivity.
📰 Despite what media narratives suggest, kindness and goodness are far more common than we think—they are the norm, not the exception.
🤝 No act of kindness is too small to make a difference, and even the simplest gesture can change someone’s day—or their life.

🎙️ The topic: "Leading Full Throttle"
🔥 Our featured guest is none other than leadership powerhouse Paul Comfort!
📈 Leadership isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about action, alignment, and the courage to lead at full throttle.
📚 The book 21 Lessons to Lead Full Throttle reminds us that true leadership demands clarity, consistency, and conviction.
🧭 Every leader must ask themselves whether they’re simply cheering others on or actually driving the change that’s needed.
🏈 A cheerleader supports from the sidelines, but a change agent gets on the field and moves things forward.
⚙️ Leading full throttle requires getting uncomfortable and making decisions others may hesitate to make.
🔍 One of the most important leadership questions you can ask is: “What is my destiny, and am I walking in it?”
🌀 Destiny isn’t always obvious—it’s often revealed through trial, reflection, and intentional action.
🌟 Leaders who live in alignment with their destiny bring out the best in others while staying grounded in purpose.
🚀 Full-throttle leadership doesn’t mean chaos—it means focused momentum fueled by vision and values.
