They called me Eagle Eye at work. I loved it.
Welcome to this week's Thought Gem — your reminder to pause, breathe, and choose your focus.
Hand me a red pen and I was happy. Typos, extra spaces, inconsistencies nobody else caught. I found them all. That kind of editing? Useful. Made everything better.
Then there is the other kind.
The kind where you are about to say something real and your internal red pen shows up uninvited. Marks it all up. And what comes out is acceptable. Palatable. Edited down to nothing.
Do you do that? Because I did. For a long time.
This week I just want you to notice it. One moment where you catch the red pen before it does its thing. Just notice.
Who are you editing yourself for? And is it worth what it is costing you?
Come hang with us Wednesday. We are going there.
