Kind but Not Nice: Love, Business, and the Power of Intentional Relationships

Image
Valentine’s Day is often seen as a celebration of love—roses, chocolates, and sweet words wrapped in ribbons of affection. But beyond the romance, there’s a deeper lesson about relationships, not just in love but in business and life: the difference between being kind and being nice . For years, I used to believe that being “nice” was the way to build strong connections—whether with partners, friends, employees, or customers. But I learned that niceness is often surface-level; kindness, on the other hand, is intentional, honest, and built to last . Love and Business Have More in Common Than You Think Great relationships—whether in love or business—aren’t about constant agreement or avoiding discomfort. They thrive on: 💡 Honest Communication – Just as a successful business doesn’t thrive on false promises, neither do relationships. Saying what needs to be said, even when it’s uncomfortable, is a form of true kindness. 💡 Consistency Over Grand Gestures – In both love and business, it...

How Your Response to Someone’s Hunger Shapes Their Next Move

Image
I know, I know... I am a sucker for punishment. So many have taken advantage of me so far and I have allowed it. However there is a deep burning inside that tells me to continue to do the right thing regardless! Imagine this: Someone approaches you, hungry and in need of food. They look tired, worn down by life’s struggles, and they ask, “Can you spare something to eat?” At that moment, your response isn’t just about whether or not you give them food—it’s about the message you send, the dignity you uphold, and the direction their life might take next. 1. The Dismissive Response – “I can’t help you.” A cold, dismissive response can reinforce a feeling of hopelessness. Hunger isn’t just about an empty stomach; it’s about survival, self-worth, and resilience. When someone is met with rejection, they may feel unseen, unworthy, or even pushed toward desperation. Some may walk away, still hungry, feeling a deeper loneliness. Others may be pushed into stealing or begging elsewhere, further s...

His first days in office were marked by swift, decisive actions that left both supporters energized and critics scrambling.

His executive orders on immigration, deregulation, and economic reform sent a clear message: business as usual was over. This kind of disruption was necessary to jolt a complacent system back to life. Reasserting National Sovereignty One of Trump's first actions was to prioritize America’s borders and security...
