As Francesca Gino writes in When Solving Problems, Think About What You Could Do, Not What You Should Do: in challenging situations, we all tend to default to what we should do instead of asking what we could do.

We all want to know if the people around us are trustworthy, and the better we are at determining it, the better relationships we are able to make. Wanda Thibodeaux gives a quick guide to finding out in Want to Know If Someone Is Trustworthy? Look for These 15 Signs.

In a world that seems faster and faster around us, it might be tempting for me to determine that I will give up trying to follow the development and stick with who I have always been.

Some weeks simply have too much reading material to cover it one item a day - so I decided to end my week by returning to one of the most relevant texts I read this week. It is the mission of Rebecca Elvy to advocate for positive power – and the minimization of negative power in the world. She tells us more in the Grievances you Perceive… Your Personal Mission.
Read it and decide for yourself: Are you with Rebecca here?
I know I am!

Another week with lots of good reading has passed. I hope the above has been able to inspire you in your reading, and if it has, I hope you will come back for seven new things next week.
