I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Every day we have a choice. RISE AND SHINE or RISE AND WHINE. Choose to shine today! Replace “Have to” with “Get to.” Look for the good. Seize the opportunities. Feed the positive. Weed the negative. Encourage yourself and encourage others!
LEADERSHIP IS LONELY
"If you are going to be a leader, you’re not going to please everybody. You have to hold people accountable. Even if you have that moment of being uncomfortable." (Kobe Bryant)

Just because you failed doesn’t mean you’re a failure. A loss doesn’t make you a loser and while you may have quit, you’re not a quitter. One moment doesn’t define you or your life. Keep learning, get better, and grow stronger through adversity and become all you’re meant to be!

@NGC3314@CSLewisDaily As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you…. From Mere Christianity
