“Do you ever wake up, wishing to stay in bed?
Your head is clouded, you dread the day ahead?”
©Lehmann
I often do, and the best thing I can do for myself is to get up, look in the mirror and say “Russell, you matter”.
Of course, this phrase is much more powerful coming from somebody other than ourselves. So today I just want to simply tell you:
YOU MATTER, YOU ARE LOVED and YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH EACH BREATH YOU TAKE
We don’t hear these words enough. When we have a challenging day, society has conditioned us to wear a mask, and cover up our struggle. We fight through the day in silence, wishing for someone to take our mask off for us and to simply let us know that we’re not alone.
And so I say to you again, no matter who you are, what you’ve been through or what you are going through:
YOU MATTER, YOU ARE LOVED and YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH EACH BREATH YOU TAKE
“It’s okay to let the pain show, to fail…to cry…to be in woe
These plant the seeds that in turn proceed to grow
A fervid force within you, that you would never know
Has the power to bring this world together, bonding in sorrow for a better tomorrow”

On May 11th I’m heading out to Cambridge to take part in LEAD20 @ MIT (https://lead20mit2019.rudermanfoundation.org) then I’m heading straight to London to present for King’s College.
As always, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting me and following my journey as I use the lessons learned and insights gained from my painful experiences to help make this world just a little bit better.
If you haven’t checked out my new book yet, find it on Amazon here, and if you have enjoyed reading it, I would greatly appreciate an Amazon review!
Sending Strength & Love,
Russell
