Today I want to explore with you paradoxes that show up in business leadership and personal

growth and how we can use them to guide our decisions and our actions.

I'm going to start with one of my favorite paradox, the hard things paradox.

And I call it cutting your right hand, if you're right handed, cutting your right hand

fingernails first, avoiding difficult conversations, decisions, responsibilities may feel easier

in the moment, but it often creates bigger problems later.

When we face challenges early, we strengthen our relationship to business and personal

growth.

What have you found about this

hard things paradox that can help our Napoleon Hill community members to understand how we

lean into the difficult? The idea of paradox, and I love this topic, you know, the law

polarity comes into play here.

If we begin to think about it in those terms, there's two ins to a stick.

So both things exist.

Both are true.

And if I eliminate one or try to eliminate one, what I'm actually doing is eliminating access to what is possible.

So when I can begin to embrace paradox that there is a truth here and there's a truth here,

I begin to have a wider spectrum that I can actually work with.

And it allows me to be more resourceful.

I can, you know, an idea here that you can think of is, yeah, some of the clients I work with,

they want to be more, you know, as a leader, they want to be more empathetic, yeah, in their

organization. I want to, I just want to, you know, demonstrate more empathy for where people are at.
