Stacey Abrams should have been Governor but for voter suppression. A lot of people would have been turned off politics. Instead she went back to work and here we are.
Waiting is hard. That's as normal and human as it gets. But we're waiting because so many people voted and because election workers are carefully ensuring that every vote is counted properly—and that is a good thing.
Ambition is when our aspirations exceed our achievements.
Narcissism is when our ego exceeds our achievements.
Ambition fuels grit and growth: aim higher, work harder, get better.
Narcissism breeds entitlement: people invest more energy in claiming success than earning it.

I encouraged him to resign. He refused.
Pleased to see this reminder that change is possible.
