After 16 years climbing to senior management, Speaker A left to start something new. The one thing that made it possible: stopping the search for external validation and trusting yourself instead.
and worked there for 16 years, ended up promoted to one of the highest ranking managers in that department, the part that I was at, worked with people who was there when I was locked up and became everybody's supervisor.
Wow.
And I'm not putting it on thick.
Wow.
And you can background check me. You can ask anybody. This story is one eventually I want to do a documentary on and talk about for the young lady you're talking about, belief, like anything is possible. And then I retired from there, took an early retirement. I've been off the clock 5 years. Nice. And all I do is this work right here. Yeah. Because I believe that I am the one to do it. Yeah. So we don't need anybody else to validate us. We gotta get past that. Yes. And how do you get there? Last thing for her is just focus. And that's what he was talking about earlier. Just focus on today. Right? Because anxiety comes from worrying about things that ain't happened yet, and depression is going to come from holding on to things that's already happened. Wow. Come on.
Okay. All right, let that breathe for a second. Thank you so much. This means a lot to me, and I know it's going to mean a lot to her.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
