ArchitectCEO Update: the parable of Lollipops at the Carwash. The other day I was driving around with my two oldest daughters (14 yrs and 12yrs old) and decided to drop by the car wash.
My oldest daughter asked excitedly, "Ooh, can I get a lollipop?"
"Don't you think you're a little old to be getting lollipops from the car wash?" I joked with a smile.
She asked her sister if SHE wanted a lollipop.
"Nope," responded my 12 year old daughter.
After thinking for a few seconds, my oldest daughter changed her mind.
"I don't want one after all," she said.
This experience got me to thinking ... where in my life am I changing what I want because of what other people around me are doing?
Am I showing up as my true and authentic self each and every day? I realize I'm not, but I'm committed to do better.
Discover more by listening to today's ArchitectCEO update, and let me know what you think.
