Mission Wealth’s Post

A mom, or mother, is a female parent who typically plays a significant role in the upbringing and nurturing of her children. The responsibilities of a mom often include providing physical care, emotional support, and guidance to ensure the well-being and development of her children. __________________________________________________________ The concept of motherhood varies widely across different cultures and societies, but universally, mothers are often seen as primary caregivers and central figures in family life. Their roles can encompass various aspects such as: Physical Care: Ensuring the child is fed, clothed, and healthy. Emotional Support: Providing love, comfort, and security. Education: Teaching children social norms, values, and skills. Guidance: Helping children navigate life's challenges and make decisions. Motherhood is also a deeply personal and emotional experience, shaping the lives of both the mother and her children. The bond between a mother and her child is typically profound, influencing the child's development and the mother's sense of identity and fulfillment.

Life really is a journey for everyone. Each person's path is distinct, marked by different challenges, opportunities, and relationships. This individuality is what makes life rich and varied, offering a tapestry of stories that highlight the diverse nature of human existence. Being grateful for what we have is crucial in this journey because it fosters a positive mindset and helps us focus on the good aspects of our lives, no matter how small they may seem. Gratitude can also act as a buffer against life's inevitable difficulties, providing us with the resilience to cope with adversity. When we express gratitude, we acknowledge that life, despite its ups and downs, offers us many gifts. This recognition can lead to greater contentment and fulfillment. It reminds us that our journey, while unique, is also interconnected with the journeys of others, creating a sense of community and shared human experience. In essence, while life is an individual journey for everyone, gratitude serves as a universal connector, enriching our personal experiences and fostering a deeper appreciation for the world and people around us. It reminds us to cherish the present, value our individuality, and recognize the beauty in our unique paths.

In a world where everyone is racing toward something bigger, it’s easy to forget to pause and appreciate the now. Whether it’s chasing career milestones, personal achievements, or financial goals, we’re often so focused on what’s next that we forget to embrace what we have. I’ve been there too, constantly planning and striving for the next step in life. But what I’ve learned along the way is that everything has its time. Sometimes, the most significant progress comes not from running faster but from being still and trusting that things will fall into place. As the saying goes, “Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” When we allow ourselves to be grateful for the present moment, we create space for more joy, success, and fulfillment to naturally flow into our lives. There have been times in my career and personal journey where things didn’t go as planned, but looking back, those moments were the very ones that shaped me. They made me stronger, more adaptable, and taught me the power of trusting the process. So, take a deep breath. Trust the path you’re on. Life has a way of aligning in the most unexpected ways when we lead with gratitude and stay open to the possibilities. What are you grateful for today? Regards, Dr. Navin Renu, M.D.

I’ve finally come up for air. What a ride! Earlier this month, I had the absolute privilege of joining the first-ever riders&elephants Global Gathering in stunning Queenstown, and I’m still buzzing from the experience. Here’s what made it unforgettable: 🌟 Connection: Meeting people I’ve collaborated with online for years and making new, meaningful connections. 🌟 Inspiration: Jeremy Dean and the incredible R&E community brought fresh perspectives, heart, and energy into every moment. 🌟 Learning: Diving deep into the tools we use to transform leadership, teams, and cultures. I left with powerful new resources to enhance my practice – from Beautiful Questions to Reputation to Neuro-Nudges. The energy in the room was palpable – there were laughs, tears, breakthroughs, and even a few dance moves! A highlight for me? Witnessing the power of shared emotional language and intentional culture design, which underpins everything we do as Elephant Riders. It reminded me of why I do this work and why it matters. To everyone who attended, mentored, and made this event extraordinary: thank you. My cup is full, my brain is buzzing, and my heart is all in. Now, it’s time for a little recharge (my social battery is a firefly, too!) before taking these lessons forward into the work we do. If you’ve been curious about the R&E community or tools, feel free to reach out—I’d love to share more!"

Happy New Month Everyone. It is a new day and a new month of this year that will never come again. So surprising how time flies. Reminiscing, we can all remember celebrating New Year not long, like it was yesterday. Now it is June. The first half of year 2024 is coming to an end. I hope and pray that all our prayers and expectations will be met in this new month. Today, I implore you to take a short period of time out of your busy schedule to brood. Think of the past months and be grateful for both the little achievements and bourgeois ones. Remember being grateful is the access to more blessings and opportunities. Also do not forget to gauge yourself. Ask yourself thought provoking questions like; - How well have I developed myself within these past months? - What have I learnt that will sharpen my understanding? - How have I made impact on others etc. Ask yourself these questions. They are yardsticks you will use to measure yourself and know your prowess. Remember, Time Waits For No One. Once again, Happy New Month. Ngozi ✍️✍️.

The TDCJ promotional video featuring Officer Elliot Ruiz sheds light on his career and experiences but also exposes the deep flaws of TDCJ.  While Ruiz’s dedication may be sincere, the video is less about him and more about a system skilled at masking its true nature.  TDCJ avoids discussions of rehabilitation and justice, offering instead propaganda designed to maintain a facade while perpetuating dehumanizing practices.  What is notably absent is any mention of TDCJ’s mission: "to provide public safety, promote positive change in offender behavior, reintegrate offenders into society, and assist victims of crime."  The incarcerated individuals central to that mission are rendered invisible, reduced to silent props in the background.  This treatment reflects a system uninterested in rehabilitation and focused solely on control.  The only indirect reference to the incarcerated comes when Ruiz says, "No matter what ‘they’ do to me."  Who is “they”?  The video’s ambiguity avoids acknowledging these individuals as human beings deserving dignity and a chance to change.  This “us vs. them” mindset isn’t unique to officers; it’s ingrained in TDCJ’s culture, perpetuating division and undermining meaningful reform. Instead of addressing rehabilitation, the video prioritizes recruitment and retention, focusing on the struggles of staff while ignoring the humanity of the incarcerated.  Ruiz’s story is meant to inspire new recruits, yet it sidesteps the truth of incarceration, erasing the voices and potential of those in TDCJ’s care.  When Ruiz remarks that no one is perfect, he could have tied this sentiment to TDCJ’s role in helping people move beyond their mistakes.  Instead, the video pivots back to his personal narrative, missing an opportunity to humanize the incarcerated and highlight the system’s rehabilitative mission.  This omission feels deliberate; acknowledging the humanity of those incarcerated would mean admitting systemic failures. The video’s focus on the fears of corrections staff such as retirement highlights another imbalance.  While staff concerns are valid, what about the fears of the incarcerated?  Will they see their families again?  Leave prison with hope?  Survive the system?  These voices are silenced, while staff concerns take center stage, reflecting a system designed to prioritize control over compassion.  This video underscores how TDCJ and the corrections industry excel at herding people but fail at helping them.  Images of silent incarcerated individuals walking in the background are a stark reminder of this reality.  Rehabilitation requires more than rhetoric; it demands action, change, and humanity.  Yet, TDCJ’s focus remains on power and control, not transformation.  If TDCJ claims to promote positive change, it must start by recognizing the humanity of those it incarcerates.  Until then, videos like this will remain what they are: propaganda for a broken system.

"Embracing My Journey: Celebrating Growth, Gratitude, and the Power of Resilience" For a while, I kept quiet about my growth, my life’s journey, the achievements I’ve proudly earned, and the impact I’ve made through volunteering and helping others grow. Recently, I realised that because things weren’t happening exactly as I had envisioned, I had let that cloud my perspective. I wasn’t fully seeing or appreciating my own unwavering commitment to growth, my incredible adaptability, and the many blessings in my life. Snapping out of my ‘messful’ thoughts, I’ve learnt: 1. Slowing down doesn’t mean stopping – it’s simply part of the journey, and if we keep moving, our time to accelerate will come. So, let’s keep going! 2. Focusing solely on others’ blessings can hold us back. Acknowledging our own strengths opens us up to new opportunities and fresh inspiration. 3. Blessings come in unique forms for each of us, and as long as we’re only watching what works for others, we may miss what’s waiting for us. 4. Gratitude is a powerful key that can open doors to beautiful surprises beyond what we may have initially planned. Lastly, as I continue balancing childcare (in this abroad 🤔 ) with work, I celebrate myself and every woman out there giving her all to build a strong foundation for her little ones. You are the true influencers!
