Just one more time. I get hundreds of messages. All day. On all the socials. I try to answer everyone. It’s not always possible but I do try. I have a team that helps me with emails, but I feel like my socials are incredibly personal… like, you’ve taken the time to send me a personal message, so that’s a “me” job. To answer every message personally. This week has been crazy-amazing busy. I got off the cruise and hit the ground running. I have 2 Keynotes (talks) this week, a massive MC gig, and 3 events thrown in there (plus emails, meetings, and everything else that comes with running a business). So this morning I woke up at 4am to answer all the messages I received yesterday. There were around 250 across all my socials. Some were funny, asking me where the rest of the photos from the cruise were. Some were of people in need - there is a constant stream of messages from people in need. We’ve gotten pretty good (at Good Things Guy) with connecting people to the right help. Some could have used Google for their questions but I guess they wanted to have a conversation with someone, so I really don’t mind it. I’m here to chat. But yesterday, there were a bucketload of very similar messages. Messages with great importance for all of us. I counted 47. Of people who wanted to stay anonymous but wanted to share how deeply my post resonated with them yesterday. That post about “just one more time”. They were so vulnerable, sharing stories of how they had tried to take their own lives, how they had thought about it, how they had lost hope, and how one thing had pulled them back. How they had decided to give it “just one more go”. Not gonna lie. I’ve been crying most of the morning. You know me friends, I’m a cryer. But this goes deeper than just tears. I need you to read this for comprehension: Every single person is hanging on by a thin-thin thread. Everyone you encounter is fighting the biggest monsters that they are just not telling anyone about. And they are doing it all alone. How incredibly heartbreaking!? Do you remember the REM music video to “Everybody Hurts” or that scene in “City of Angels” where we got a glimpse into what people were thinking? Do you remember how sad it was? How everyone was just dealing with the most? Well, that’s cause people are. All the time. A stark reminder to be kinder to everyone. That’s what our focus should be. Our only focus. To be kinder. Even to “that” kak human. They may actually need it more than most. So let’s make a deal: Even though we cannot be responsible for someone else’s feelings, perspective on life, or self-esteem, we cannot contribute to their struggle. We rise by lifting each other. We rise by helping people give it one more go. We rise by being kinder than necessary or needed. We need to help people to give it just one more time. Yes, that’s what we need to do. Okay. Love you. Bye.

Friends, I’m testing this Twitter (X) Blue thing to write an article. But here’s my conundrum. I need to reach 5 million impressions (in a 3-month period) in order to start earning. I want to do that quicker. Please engage with & repost this post so I can get there. 🙏🏼
