@Dr. Heath i just wanted to get your thoughts on this. For example, I have such a love for animals, I would say I’m obsessed, which I think the majority of us are. I have always had pets, now 2 cats, have volunteered at shelters, etc. It’s a joy in my life. However, I find that my thoughts run deep and I have a hard time accepting the loss of any animal, including wildlife. If I see a wandering deer, first of all I panic it may get hit, then I think where’s his family and are they looking for him? I have bunnies and turkeys in my yard and I can only enjoy them to a point because I’m afraid they’ll be harmed. I humanize them because they have feelings like we do. However, I’m sure that deer’s mom and dad are not sitting at the dinner table waiting for their baby to come home before his curfew, yet these thoughts take up a lot of space! Now that you all know I’m teetering on the edge (🤪), do you have any advice to bring me back to some type of normalcy? 🐾♥️

The biggest gift you can give others is the courage to fully be yourself. Your authenticity isn’t just about you—it’s an invitation for those around you to step into theirs. When you operate from a place of genuine thinking and being, you create an environment where innovation, trust, and deeper connections flourish. How to Apply This in Your Daily Life & Leadership: ✅ Own Your Thinking – Your perspectives, experiences, and insights are uniquely yours. Stand by them confidently while remaining open to growth. ✅ Model Realness – People take their cues from those around them. When you show up as yourself, you make it easier for others to do the same. ✅ Stop Filtering Yourself – Adjusting who you are to fit an expectation dilutes your impact. Authenticity isn’t about fitting in—it’s about bringing something real to the table. ✅ Speak with Clarity – Say what you mean and mean what you say. Precision in thinking and communication fosters stronger relationships and higher-level problem-solving. ✅ Prioritize Growth Over Perfection – Being yourself doesn’t mean staying the same. It means evolving on your own terms, driven by curiosity and purpose rather than external approval. 🔹 Mindset Check-In: Where in your life are you editing yourself unnecessarily?
