Life has a way of moving fast. We jump from one thing to the next; meetings, errands, phone calls, social media scrolls. Before we know it, the day has passed, and we’re left wondering if we ever really noticed it.

In a world that thrives on connection and community, the gifts we offer —our knowledge, skills, and heartfelt desire to serve —can sometimes be met with judgment rather than gratitude. For many, the act of giving selflessly, driven by love and respect, is mistaken for self-centeredness. This is the story of countless individuals who, like one woman in a vibrant, multicultural group of faith-minded business owners, find their intentions misread and their hearts unseen.

“My problem is…I expect “Me” out of people”. Change your mindset and start your day positively.
