Leading Thoughts for April 3, 2025

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:

Richard S. Tedlow on speaking truth to power:

“The fantasy that if you get rid of the messenger, you can render the message untrue is a powerful one.”

Todd Henry on the passion fallacy:

“Instead of asking ‘What would bring me enjoyment?’ which is how many people think about following their passion, we should instead ask ‘What work am I willing to suffer for today?’ Great work requires suffering for something beyond yourself. It’s created when you bend your life around a mission and spend yourself on something you deem worthy of your best effort. What is your worthwhile cause?”
