Father, Son & Holy Spirit
I have empowered many people in my life, but I don’t like how they conduct themselves and act as if they are “him” behind my back. Therefore, I present a prospective.
In the last few weeks, I’ve been all over the place. One of my travel hacks is to avoid getting too attached to specific products because sourcing those products in different jurisdictions might not always be feasible due to global trade restrictions. For example, there may be a great shaving cream I use in New York that I can’t find in Toronto.
Therefore, the only solution is to find products that are available in all jurisdictions and not overly processed. As a result, coconut oil has become my shaving cream of choice, and it can be used for other purposes as well.
It is truly empowering to in-source or simplify in order to become more self-reliant and powerful.
Consider this: If the customer is always right, is that why customer service is so bad? If customer service is so bad, why not cook it yourself? And if you can cook it yourself, wouldn’t you be dramatically better?
You would think they would be respected and appreciated, but are they really?
