Kim Zoller shares a Peloton trainer's insight: lighting a candle doesn't blow out someone else's. She uses it to argue for celebrating others' wins and serving generously, drawing on a conversation with coach Michael Bungay Stanier.
Hi, it's Kim Zoller. So I was working out this morning on my favorite peloton app and Jess Sims, the trainer, we were doing this boot camp and she made a comment and it just made me think about our lives. And the comment was, when we light a candle, it doesn't blow out someone else's candle. And it made me think about right now, how are we helping people? What are we doing that is really serving other people? Yesterday I was invited to do this amazing conversation with Michael Bungay Staner, who is an incredible author, an incredible coach, and he is all about serving people. And I started thinking about other people in my life who are just all about serving. And never if you're doing something great, it doesn't take anything away from someone else. And when they do something great, it doesn't take away from what we're doing. So it is about celebrating ourselves and celebrating other people and lighting one candle after another so that we have something very beautiful and that we are not just an energy unto ourselves. Have the best day.
