If I could tell myself anything in 5, 10, 30 years, it would be to think first.

I hope this is a lesson I learn quickly because I hate the damage it causes.

I’m not acting with a mind of integrity, wholeness when I avoid thinking before speaking or doing. I have the urgency in mind.

I want to make progress NOW, gain buy in NOW, create a positive impression NOW…

But what does that action have to do with the other people around me, the person to come next, the person overhearing my joke…
