Goals aren’t a measuring stick for success or failure. 

Goals are an accelerant. 

Goals are the added fuel that help the fire continue to burn and burn faster and stronger. 

The fastest way to get lucky is to do the right thing when you are scared, when you are hurting, when you are in pain. Courage always creates luck. 

Respect shows its final form in allowing other people to make important personal decisions without you thinking your opinion/option is better than theirs. 

Constantly asking people to adjust thier choices shows disrepect. 

Show respect and watch your relationships improve. 

When we work hard…

We we don’t give up…

When our goals and actions are aligned…

When we focus on the end destination and not the current pain…

That is when we find unexpected success that should have been expected all along. 

 

Intentions are only half of what matters. They are an important half, but only half. In reality, doing is always more, always better, always whole. Doing completes the process, fulfills the need, satisfies the relationship. 

When you want to be happy, you will find a way. 

When you want to smile, you will find something to smile about. 

Your attitude and perspective determine your outlook, what you look for, you will find. 

 

Happy Birthday, Martin! Keep smiling, always keep looking for the good!

Finding peace is the most advanced form of living. The best way to have peace is to create space—space between you and your thoughts, space between you and your emotions, space between your thoughts and your actions, space between you and your relationships, space between you and anger, space between you and your desires, space between you and anxiety, space between you and fear. The space between is what is need to embrace the higher peace. 

We were designed and built to serve. Serving other living beings is an essential part of our existence. The more we serve, the more fulfilled we become. 

Asking the right questions means we are already on the right path. 

All progress and learning starts with the desire to grow and find truth. 

Hardwork doesn’t equal perfection. Perfection is a choice and does take hard work, but is not gauranteed. The only way to pursue perfection is to pursue constant improvement. As we search, do, evaluate, and red-do we can take steps everyday that help us get better and better.
