Rights vs Obligations vs Opportunities 4:04

We have God-given rights which bring with them obligations, which, when properly honored, become opportunities. An indigenous elder of Cherokee descent, Stan Rushworth, reminded us of the difference between a Western settler mindset of "I have rights" and an indigenous mindset of "I have obligations." Instead of thinking, 'My rights entitle me,' what if we choose to think that we are born with obligations— not rights —to serve past, present, and future generations?…

The Belief Switch Can you imagine living in a world where the only satisfaction you got was from blaming and complaining? “The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences..." -- Dr. Rick Hansen MRI studies show that the more you complain, the more those neural pathways deepen— until your brain defaults to that behavior. It shrinks your prefrontal cortex—your center for logic, reason, and problem solving. It literally makes you less equipped to find solutions. What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic dopamine production? "Gratitude opens the heart. Self-belief turns the key." -- Lee Brower "Self-belief is gratitude in motion." -- Lee Brower…

The image was fake. The "bias" was real. The truth was different. "Bias is like a weed. It starts out small. But left to its own, it grows deep, spreads wide, and quietly chokes out better thoughts." — Lee Brower "We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are." — Anaïs Nin (our perspective is often colored by internal bias- unless we pause and we pivot.) "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." — Stephen Hawking "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." — Carl Jung ( e.g. biPas™-- pausing to recognize and redirect unconscious bias.)

"WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU BRING ABOUT. WHAT YOU BROUGHT ABOUT, YOU THOUGHT ABOUT." “Acts of kindness create a ripple effect of neurochemical uplift—benefiting the giver, receiver, and even the silent witness.” RECEIVING kindness can: Increase oxytocin, which helps regulate serotonin and dopamine. Reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), which helps rebalance neurotransmitters like serotonin. Lead to feelings of social connection, safety, and worth, which are correlated with serotonin boosts and immune function. GIVING kindness releases: Dopamine (pleasure/reward) Oxytocin (connection/love hormone) Serotonin (well-being, mood) These positive neurochemicals reduce inflammation and boost immune cell production. WITNESSING kindness can cause a release of oxytocin, leading to downstream effects on serotonin and immune function. The observer experiences what's called 'moral elevation'--which includes a sense of warmth and inspiration. This is associated with Heart rate variability improvements, cortisol reductions, and positive neurochemistry shifts (dopamine, serotonin).…

Step 2: Choose ONE thing from each of these four quadrants. Select the one thing that, when accomplished, will have the greatest effect on your other listed desires: - Core (Faith, Family, Health, Well-being) – If prioritized, what one desire would strengthen everything else in this area? - Experience (Learning, Competencies, Alliances) – What experience, learning, or association will create the most significant long-term impact? - Contribution (Arrows Out, Compassion, Impact on Others) – What act of service or generosity will amplify your influence? - Financial (Dynamic Value, Nurturing Connections) – What financial priority, when accomplished, will support everything else? Step 3: Reflect on these four priorities. When you achieve your top 4 priorities, what is the likelihood that almost everything on your list will also be achieved?…
