We are all hypocrites and that’s part of being human. We all hold values we don’t always live up to. We all make choices that don’t always match our ideals. The goal isn’t to hide our contradictions, but to understand them and lean into the parts we can sustain over time.

I think attention’s best friend is trust. You can get attention without trust, but it doesn’t last. You can earn trust without much attention, and that’s worth far more. So, maybe we are measuring the wrong thing. Because remarkable doesn’t mean loud or viral, it simply means worth making a remark about.
