I forgot my book at home for my travel week.

My in-flight ritual has become familiar:

work on my laptop until it’s time to close it up, then read my book for the last few minutes of the flight.

This time, I looked out the window and saw the city lights and snow as Minneapolis came into view.

My brain just sort of paused. I let it rest and simply be present to landing. It was peaceful.

That quiet space used to be where some of my best thinking happened.

This trip reminded me that presence is a choice, and one we can always make again.

Where in your life might you choose to look out the window instead of filling the space?

Trish made five critical choices on her journey from the pit of despair—childhood sexual abuse, drug addiction and near suicide—to the peak of success: embracing boundless love. And you can, too.

No matter the awful choices we’ve made —

or what we’ve done to ourselves —

it’s never too late to choose again.

It’s never too late to make a first choice.

About this Episode:

Creating clarity with one another can be daunting. It is often easier to “generally” agree and move on. Or assume we understand each other and move on. Or let the other person believe they understood what you meant, but they really didn’t.

Asking the questions and taking the time to make sure we are crystal clear with another can be uncomfortable.

Yet when I look at my own life, especially the situations and relationships that matter the most to me, I see something so different:

Getting clear about what we expect from each other is an expression of love. It says, I care enough about you—and about us—and about this situation—to really understand and name what matters to us both.

Whether it’s with a customer, child, spouse, patient, friend, or colleague… investing the time and energy to get crystal clear about the agreements we enter into, is the key to committing to those agreements and to one another.

As we step into this new week, this new month, this new year—

What situation or relationship is worth it for you?

Description: Trish Kendall, an expert on creating enduring success and an international keynote speaker, unearths the inspirational stories of her guests as they share their journeys to enduring success with us.

If you ask her, Trish will tell you she has become the most successful person she knows. She is proud of her career, is a trusting and trusted member of her community, and is a loving wife and devoted mother of two children. All simple measures, but far more than she ever thought she would have.

Her childhood was tortured by relentless sexual abuse, neglect, and ultimately, a crystal meth addiction that led to her near suicide at 20 years old.

But Trish climbed from the pit of despair and summited the peak of success—enduring success—by making five critical choices.

Today, she inspires others to achieve enduring success and provides a pathway there for all.

In this Choose & Become Interview, Trish talks with Bill Niemi—CEO, Vistage Chair, and a self-described Philosopher of Love—about his journey from achievement to purpose, and how love, when practiced daily, becomes the highest form of leadership.

???? Hope is more than a feeling.

It’s a force — strong enough to pull us out of darkness and powerful enough to change a life.

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

It happens in conversation.

It happens in community.

It happens when we choose to show up — for ourselves and for each other — with courage, compassion, and love.

Most of us listen to react. But the highest form of listening?

Listening to understand the person. ???? When was the last time you truly listened?
