Having gratitude requires some contemplation. You have to sift through the stories of our lives and find the blessings in the storms.

I’ve always loved my network of friends and colleagues, but I recognize right now that my mindset today is more growth oriented than it’s been in a long time and I believe it is a reflection of the people I’m choosing to surround myself with.
Our celebrations of lives will be based on the meaningful relationships we had in our lifetimes, not much else.
Happy Sunday Everyone, and a special shout out to all you Dad’s out there!!
If we spent our days making someone else’s day, in everything we did, and how we conducted ourselves…pretty good recipe for a life well lived and a simple road map to follow. Give/Receive.
At this stage of my life and my career, my priority is on the relationships, not the transactions. Is it scalable? I don’t really know, and not sure I care.
For as long as I’ve done these, I’ve started off with “Happy Sunday Everyone”, today, not so much. We lost the greatest man I’ve ever known on 12/21.
It’s never been easier to call a compadre and start the conversation with “are you slow”…and then 15-30 minutes later getting off that call w/ less energy than you started. As a salesperson, this is a really bad recipe for success.
The point for me is to continue to hang around high quality, high caliber people who hold me accountable to be the best version of me.
So here I am, running, listening to this piece about loneliness and the need for human connection, while witnessing the ultimate example of human connection, someone helping someone else. I can’t make this stuff up. It was freaking amazing.
