When we’re unconsciously in the habit of judging and blaming others, it can have a huge impact on our well-being." You can’t judge and love at the same time.

Mentor, Reverend, and Civil Rights Leader, Herbert Daughtry, encouraged him to change the system from within. If you have a problem with a system, try to change it from within. Instead of complaining about it, do something about it. Take action. A mindset shift: “There is something I’m supposed to learn from this.” – Shifting our minds from blaming and complaining to asking ourselves, “What can I learn from this?” Mayor Adams became President of a Black officers association before founding his own group, 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care.

And don't try to be someone you're not. Don't apologize for your existence. Authenticity shows that you have skin in the game. I am putting my actions where my mouth is. We crave real experiences: We do business with human beings. The most valuable thing we can do is make genuine connections with people. Make people feel seen and known. Creativity is problem-solving. If you solve problems every day, you’re creative. Have a BIG VISION.
