Today's Simple Truth from Mom!
"Don't wait until the eleventh hour to let your ideas shine...don't be afraid to show off your 'diamonds!'"
My grandmother - affectionately known as "Mops" - brought her A-game to everything she did, including becoming a professional golfer in the 1920s. She always let her best shine through - there was no waiting for a "special occasion" where Mops was concerned. She wore her most prized possession - a beautiful diamond ring, one of only two, and the other belonged to Bess Truman - not matter what, whether she was playing golf or growing plants on her balcony or spending the day at the beach. She knew how to commit to life full steam ahead!
At work, your talents, ideas and skills are your diamonds. Many of us hold onto our brilliant ideas for just the right person or just the right time. Do you have amazing ideas that might never get executed? Well, what are you waiting for?? Like Mops, wear YOUR diamonds every single day!
