Andy Neary says it's fine to feel good even when others struggle. If you're down, acknowledge it and move forward. If you're up, help lift others instead of feeling guilty. That's how communities recover faster.

So I'm going to call this one Thursday's Thoughts. You know, I don't know about you if you're producing content as well, but.
These past couple days have been really strange.
I feel like I have critiqued my content before, posting it more than I.
Ever have before, because the slightest thing.
Could offend somebody right now, and it's.
Just a really weird feeling.
But there's two things I want to say, and I know they might be.
Met with some rejection.
But if you watched my video yesterday.
I talked about the cyclists that take.
The lead and the headwind when times are tough, I need to say some things when the times are tough. Number one is if you're not feeling really good right now, especially mentally, it's okay. If you run a company, you lead a team, and you have employees who don't feel good right now mentally, they're not in a good place. They're in a rut. It's okay.
We are surrounded by negative aura right now. I even felt the funk yesterday. But here's what I ask of you.
If you are in that spot, acknowledge.
It, but don't stay there.
And if you currently are surrounded by.
People, family, friends, teammates that are in that spot, empathize with the fact they're.
There, but don't enable them. What I mean by empathizing is acknowledge that they're there, but then do everything you can as a leader to pull them out of that situation.
If you enable, you let them stay.
There, and that does nobody good.
Now, the second thing I need to say is if you actually feel good.
Right now, your business might be in.
A good spot, you might be in a good spot. Mentally, I'm here to tell you it's okay, too. I think there is this other aura out there right now that there's a sense of guilt. If you're feeling good, that's crazy.
If you are doing good, you're feeling good, especially up here mentally, right now, it's great.
Here's all I ask of you. Get others to that same spot as well. Because the faster we can pull everybody up, the better we this community, whether it's your town, your neighborhood, this country, this world.
The faster we can pull ourselves out of this, the better off we're going to be in the future. So empathize with those who are struggling. Do not enable them and let them to stay there.
Let them stay there.
And if you feel good right now, it's okay.
But your obligation is to help others feel good. So go make it happen.
