Don’t attack people who come to your side “too late.” Perhaps you persuaded them to see the truth. Welcome them. It’s how you create change.

May I make a small suggestion for 2022? Spend 5 minutes a day creating. Write anything in a journal, phone, laptop — thoughts, ideas, insights, random words, a poem. You don’t have to show it to anyone. It doesn’t have to be a novel or short story. Just plant your own seeds.
