Quote Reflection
When I saw the opening quote and verse, it took me back to those early days in AA’s rooms. Alcoholics Anonymous was founded on June 10, 1935, when two drunks — Bill W. and Dr. Bob — decided there had to be a better way. By the time I got sober in 1987, the well was already dug. The people who came before me did the heavy lifting. They carved out a path and handed me a process to stay sober — one day at a time.
The same is true in my business and leadership journey. I had mentors who weathered storms I never had to endure. Their experience became my wisdom. Their scars became my roadmap. They dug the well — all I had to do was drink from it and then keep doing the work.
Today, I am grateful to pass on the “dug wells” that were handed to me.

Gratitude recognizes the sacrifice, the patience, and the belief behind their influence.
IMO – We honor God when we honor those who poured into us. None of us arrived here alone.

Who has shaped your growth? Have you thanked them?
