How is it serving you? Have you ever paused to consider the emotional lens through which you view the world? Our default emotional state—whether it’s frustration, defensiveness, or even resignation—shapes how we react to life’s daily challenges. Knowing where we naturally “stand” in any situation is a crucial step toward adapting and responding in a way that truly serves us. If your default is anger, you might approach every...]]></description><link>https://www.firecrackerleadership.com/post/what-s-your-default-emotion</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d6b64bbf4ea4bc2307f474</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/804c18c8464044daa438b6b945afad94.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janice Honeycutt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Are You Experienced?]]></title><description><![CDATA[How others experience us IS our responsibility. My Wednesday Wish for you  is the courage to look in the mirror before you look out the window. You’ve likely heard the phrase,  “What you think about me is none of my business.”  And there’s truth in that. I can’t manage everyone’s opinions. But how you experience me?That  is  my business. And it’s my responsibility. Self-awareness invites a harder question:What is it like to be on the other side of me? What tendencies create clarity, trust,...]]></description><link>https://www.firecrackerleadership.com/post/how-are-you-experieced</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d6b76989f9e676eca1c5c9</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b5a296_c60326d382274aa0adf6e42a2c42f59f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janice Honeycutt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are You Walking in Abundance?]]></title><description><![CDATA[What can you give away? My Wednesday Wish for you is to notice your abundance—and let it spill over. We say it sometimes when we’re venting: “I know, I know… first world problems.” And we’re not wrong. Even on our hardest days, many of us have access to comforts, choices, and safety that most of the world does not. That isn’t meant to shame our stress—it’s meant to steady our perspective. Abundance isn’t only money. It’s time you can offer. Grace you can extend. An opportunity you can open...]]></description><link>https://www.firecrackerleadership.com/post/are-you-walking-in-abundace</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d6b84a0b7119100dfec4eb</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_31efeaef553940269f586a674a363f9a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janice Honeycutt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Own Your Story]]></title><description><![CDATA[What do you need to do to make this your happiest time? My Wednesday Wish for you is that you Own Your Narrative. In the movie Eternity, people arrive in the afterlife at the age they were happiest. The characters joke that there are a lot of 10-year-old boys running around. It’s funny — and a little unsettling. If you were to enter eternity at the age you were happiest, when would that be? A childhood summer? Early career success? A season when the kids were little? A time before...]]></description><link>https://www.firecrackerleadership.com/post/own-your-story</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d6b977c55f668b5304ed11</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_ba29744d482846cfb08835f7419128a1~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janice Honeycutt</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
