This isn’t about a quick pep talk, it’s about a consistent reminder of keeping your head where it needs to be in order to grow outside of any comfort zone you may find yourself in.

This isn’t about a quick pep talk, it’s about a consistent reminder of keeping your head where it needs to be in order to grow outside of any comfort zone you may find yourself in.
Good people are out there, and they want to help. I believe the good people question what stamp they’re going to leave on this planet, and I believe as they grow older, that stamp shifts from accomplishment to the desire to pay it forward.
Ignorance is not bliss but living in fear doesn’t help either. We have to recognize the numbers, develop a plan, run the play, look back up in a period of time, and make decisions.
…they asked a guy in a wheelchair a question of “how does it feel to be so confined to this wheelchair”, his response was “I’m not confined to this wheelchair, I’m liberated by it”.
The words of the True Gentleman, for me, is the ultimate guide for what I want to be said about me when I’m gone and how I want to live my life.
Brigitte literally had me in tears. She was just having a conversation with me but she had a look of possibility in her face, and said “no one has ever taught me anything like this in my life”.
By explaining “why”, it minimizes the emotions and forces an attack on the problem at hand, and not the person delivering the info i.e., attack problems, not people.
When I’m strong of mind, or strong of heart, my faith overcomes any fear I’m feeling from the pressure and the mindset shifts to “failure is not an option”.
I’m going to finish typing this, I’m going to get in my car, and I’m going to take my dad for a ride. Yes life can get crazy but we need to keep the irrelevant crap in check and focus on the stuff that matters, which for me has everything to do with honoring the relationships I have with the people I love.
Simple exercise for me, every thought that comes into my brain, push it into 2 categories, is this love or fear?
