I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, and although those were turbulent times the prevailing attitude was that selfishness was a negative personal trait.
Certainly, we are all filled with selfish desires. Yet, suppressing those desires for the betterment of others separates “feelings-driven” children from the healthy members of society.
In what we see from most marketing campaigns and cultural slogans, doesn’t it seem that “self” is the driving force behind almost all motivation?
Let’s see the manipulation for what it is and choose to live our lives by putting others first and loving those around us unconditionally.
We can all get behind that!
Gratefully,
Spence

One day back in 2022, Spencer said in a staff meeting, “I want to think of a way to make billing a little nicer for our clients. Nobody likes to open a bill, especially for architectural services.” And thus, Spencerisms were born. That’s an internal name we initially gave these short notes Spencer writes to our clients each month, if they receive a bill. The name stuck, only because we couldn’t think of anything else that fit. We hope you’ll enjoy these bits of encouragement (or simple thoughts) Spencer shares each month.
