Emotional awareness is important. Understanding and paying attention to how you feel is needed. Yet, letting how we feel determine our actions will almost always lead us down the wrong path, the easy road, or the way that takes us away from our ultimate goals and objectives. Never let how you feel determine your actions. 

Clarity doesn’t mean you know what will happen.

Clarity doesn’t mean you can see the future.

Clarity is the ability to know what you should and shouldn’t do. 

Words can change lives. 

Each word is important.

No word should be wasted. 

Wasted words are words that do not help you or others. 

Yet, you cannot run out of words, there is always more to use. 

 

One of the most important skills the greatest who ever lived always possessed was the ability to pay attention. This drives awareness, which builds understanding and creates insights. When we pay attention we have a great advantage, since most of the world doesn’t. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Martin! 

Quality wins. Once the baseline minimums are met, quality wins.

In relationships, quality is always better than quantity. 

With food, quality is always better than quantity. 

In business, eventually, quality is always better than quantity. 

Focus on quality, and the results have to improve. 

If you can humanize (rather than objectify) those with differing opinions, needs, and perspectives then you can create harmony, community, and true relationships. 

All mental and emotional pain is a result of unmet expectations. We can either change our response to these expectations or change our expectations. 

Love can be so many things, but above all, love is enduring. 

Love doesn’t weaken based on the circumstance, love is consistent. 

If you can’t support your own beliefs with faith and reason, then you should find out what you actually believe before you do more damage to your own life and to those around you. 

Power is always given to those who do not quit. 

Strength is always given to those who keep going.
