What Do Your Communications Reveal?
One speaker, long ago, suggested that we only move forward with what complements our feeling of purpose and passion. Being so business-driven, I thought that was nonsense. But we all make errors, and if willing, we can change our ways, habits, and outcomes.
Social media has me realize that I will never look backward. It combines my love of travel with the ability to connect with people globally. Moreover, I can research the individuals I want to communicate with within varying industries and disciplines, no matter their location. My journey of inspiration and learning is always in progress.
My habits and thinking continue to refine to the point where people in my earlier life might not recognize me. The difference is in my quest to change one word. In alignment, my actions reflect my desire. Hence the title, 'what do your communications reveal?'
Gradually, I began seeking to connect with those from whom I could learn and those who give inklings of inspiration and hope to others. I connect with those who attempt to do good in the world and encourage others to do the same.
And why would I devote some of my time to helping them grow their cause? It's doubtful that the men I worked with knew how even to spell the word inclusion. As a female in the corporate sales arena, I did not experience the welcoming of diversity, and it was a far cry from equity.
I realized that the first step is to change another word that can make a significant impact.
Being stubborn can be a gift. It takes dedication and willingness to continue down a road for which we have passion and feel the purpose. You can turn stubbornness into a leadership model and, over time, experience success.
Today's blog centers on an Inspirational event hosted and named The Bucketfest 360; Dennis Pitocco is the host. You may find it on YourTube to watch at your convenience and take in the words of wisdom for potential change. It is the messaging that is highly thought-provoking. The inspiration and brilliance shared may very well help point you to a better tomorrow as you begin to conjure up ideas for improvement.
Let’s Choose Humanity
“Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”
—Pema Chodron
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” —Albert Einstein
Connecting with like minds, the phrase Pitocco uses is ‘Let’s Choose Humanity.’ And you may be wondering what is the one word Stutz wants to change in the dictionary?
“I would like to change one word in the dictionary:
Replace ‘Mankind’ with ‘Humankind.’‘
We each have our goals and dreams to achieve. But when we are respectful and encourage one another to continue, attainment happens exponentially. Better yet, those involved and helpful with one another see gains. It’s almost as if a magic wand waives over those striving to help one another as business and goodwill lift off. More people can and will succeed. By experiencing humanity and learning from one another, we can all work together to improve the social environment, economy, and planet, too.
The first step is to replace the one word with ‘humanity’ and then concentrate on the effort it takes to turn things around for the benefit of many.

Your Story: Are You Willing To Change?
Take time to reconcile whether you view work as a ‘have to’ effort or if you look forward to what can occur each day. An honest answer will keep you on a better path. Without the motivational factors by your side, it isn’t easy to find enthusiasm for your work.
Aligning with your goals will increase your motivation to continue learning, altering what’s currently in place. Come to an agreement with yourself about what you are willing to change. As an idea repeats itself, it may be time to give it due consideration from multiple angles. Being willing to change enables you to achieve your goals first, and then, much more!
Should it appear viable, review current goals, and reset the ones no longer valid. Hopefully, the first effort revealing you are willing to change will induce frequent alterations as time moves forward.
