Is Courage a "Zero Sum Game?"

Last night, Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner-but you already knew that!) received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards by ESPN. As you have probably noticed on your Facebook feed, the response to Jenner’s award has been heated and divided between two camps:

  • Those who believe that Jenner did indeed show courage by announcing to the world her intention to transition from Bruce to Caitlyn. 
  • Those who think that saying Jenner has “courage” is an insult to people like the military, law enforcement, firefighters etc. who put their lives on the line every day.

It's Time For a New Definition of "Success!"

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Success is NOT a destination…it’s the journey.” 

Yet, if I’m honest, for much of my life whenever I’ve heard someone say this I’ve thought …

  • “If success is the journey, and I’m on the journey, why do I still feel so unsuccessful.
  • Why can’t I pay my rent? 
  • Why haven’t I gotten the promotion? 
  • Why do I feel like a loser? 
  • When is it my turn?”

Have you ever thought, “I’ll be a success when…”

I make more money.

People like my pictures on Facebook. 

I find “the one.”

I buy my first luxury car.

I get the promotion.

My kid becomes a doctor.
