"Your Silence is Permission"
— Tim Ferris

Every day, you’re setting a standard. Not just by what you say — but by what you let slide.

A teammate slacks off. A friend crosses the line. Your kid disrespects their mom. And you say nothing.

You tell yourself it’s not worth the conflict. That it’s not your place. That someone else will handle it. But the truth is, if it’s in front of you, it’s on you.

It’s about saying what needs to be said, when it needs to be said. The standard starts with you, the leader. People who count on you need to hear it.

Want stronger teams? Better relationships? More discipline in your life? Silence today leads to bigger problems tomorrow.

Leadership isn’t given — it’s taken. If you refuse to take it, you invite someone weaker to fill the void, and there's no sovereignty in that.
