In this episode, Inky and Oak discuss the importance of showing kindness to people, the willingness to understand others at times, and protecting the mindset to fulfill your purpose.  Quote Card - "If you have to choose between being kind and being right, choose to be kind, and you'll always be right." 7:30 - You never know what someone is going through when they get to you. Be able to show grace and kindness, which may encourage an individual may need.  12:30 - Can you decipher the difference between what you need versus what you want?  18:00 - are your motives internally or externally driven? The process always supersedes the product. The purpose behind your gift will last longer than looking to prove people wrong.  23:00 - "Don't predict the arc of your success based on an opinion from someone who isn't working at your level!" - Inky 28:30 - Everyone will not process everything the same way. Have the maturity to listen with the intent to understand rather than respond. Learn what you can, share what you can, and grow in the process. 36:40 - "Stop trying to understand each hardship you encounter and survive it. That is where the peace & lessons learned come about!" - Inky.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
