    I have a friend from high school, he has a wife, 3 kids, just bought a nice place to live. I have a shitload of respect for this guy. Probably the person I respect the most.

    He was recently promoted and messaged me because he had a bit of a crisis adjusting to the new role.

    I sent him a 5ish minute voice message, and spent the evening helping him get a hang of how to manage the new role.

    It’s an incredible feeling when you can help someone that you really respect, despite your own failings.

      you see your own failings the most because you are in your own mind and have high expectations and ideals

      but others see you for what you do and say and may have a more realistic and compassionate view

      so take it as the vote of confidence and acknowledgement of your skills that is , you’ve got this 👍🙂🥰
