“I'm finally using my strength to lift others up.”

APX · Pillar II, Apex APX-V · Protect Those Beneath You.

This is strength arriving at its purpose. Capacity that flows outward is not diminished, it is multiplied. You are not just helping someone. You are demonstrating what strength is actually for.

Your Practice

Name one person you are currently lifting. Write down the specific way your strength is serving them. Then ask yourself: is there a second person in your orbit who needs what you now know how to give?

The Architects

“To bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865 (closing sentence, excerpt)
