Today’s topic is esteem. When I think about esteem, I think of the two types: self-esteem and external esteem. Self-esteem is the internal aspect of esteem, where you value yourself, recognize your worth, and have confidence in your abilities. High self-esteem involves:

Feeling good about who you are.
Believing in your capabilities.
Maintaining a positive self-image.

Self-esteem is a powerful force that shapes your outlook on life. It’s not just about feeling good about yourself or believing in your capabilities; it’s about how these feelings influence your resilience, motivation, and perspective on the world.

External esteem, on the other hand, involves the respect, recognition, and appreciation you receive from others. It’s about acknowledging your achievements, validating your efforts, and earning the respect of your team, family, and community. This external esteem helps you feel valued and appreciated, fostering a sense of belonging. Every day is an opportunity to start new. No matter where you find yourself, you can choose to change the trajectory of your situation. You may not be where you want to be, but this moment does not define you. Choose today to push the needle 1%. You are only stuck if you stop. Remember, your happiness is your responsibility.

Today’s focus is on belonging. Belonging is a fundamental human need for your emotional well-being, self-identity, and overall happiness. Feeling accepted and valued by those around you enriches your life. A feeling of belonging provides emotional support, reduces stress, and fosters a sense of security. Belonging helps us define who we are, motivates us to pursue our goals, and offers a support system during challenging times. In today’s fast-paced world, nurturing a sense of belonging is more important than ever. By reaching out, connecting, and building inclusive communities, you create a compassionate and supportive world where everyone feels valued. Remember, you belong here, and your unique presence is integral to our team and community. Remember, your happiness is your responsibility.

Love is our next focus. I can not express enough the importance of self-love and choosing love over hate. It’s a powerful choice that empowers us and puts us in control of our emotions. Love is one of my favorite topics. To love and have the privilege of being loved is the greatest joy on earth. I know you often hear me say, “Go love on someone today.” It’s so true. Love changes everything. Cherish your relationships, reach out to loved ones, and be open to forming new bonds. We all need to feel accepted and valued by others. You can change your day by simply showing love to another person. Sometimes, the best way to put a smile on your face is to do random acts of kindness purposefully. Pick up the phone and call someone you last talked to a year ago. Send a text to someone you have been waiting to hear from for six months. You have so much to offer to others. You are precious, treasured, respected, and adored. I am so thankful you share your time and talents with the team, community, and our family each day. Remember, you can choose to love others by volunteering outside the restaurant. If you need to brainstorm ideas for our community’s needs, I am ready and available to help you. Remember, your happiness is your responsibility.
