This is my lucky hat. š§¢ā¤ļø And yes, I know the brand behind it is being ācancelledā right now.
But hereās the thing⦠I donāt believe in this cancel culture world we seem to be living in.
I believe people make mistakes. I believe people can drop the ball, own it, pick it back up and DO BETTER. I believe in accountability ā but I also believe in grace, growth and second chances.
None of us are perfect. I know Iām certainly not. Iāve dropped the ball more times than I can count. Iāve said the wrong thing, made the wrong decision and had moments I wish I could do over.
Can you imagine if every friend or family member who loved you simply walked away the moment you made a mistake?
When did we become so quick to decide that one mistake should define an entire person ā or destroy someoneās livelihood, business or ability to move forward?
Hold people accountable? Absolutely.
Expect them to learn from it? Absolutely.
But give them the opportunity to show that they ARE better than their mistake.
We talk so much about kindness, acceptance and compassion. Maybe those things matter most when theyāre difficult to give.
So yep⦠Iām still wearing my lucky hat.
Not because I believe anyone is above accountability, but because I believe human beings deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, make things right and come back better.
Drop the ball. Pick it up. Own it. Learn from it. Do better.
Thatās the kind of world I want to live in. ā¤ļø
