We all fail. 

We all stumble. 

We all make mistakes. 

The winners,

those who find success,

are the ones who keep going. 

There is comfort in what we know, 

and if what we know is pain, 

letting go can seem more difficult than holding on.

To release pain, let go. 

Let go, to release the pain. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Juju!!!

If needs are not met immediately, human instinct is to find another source to meet those needs. 

That is why we move locations, that is why we try new things, that is why we find new friends, and that is why we hunt. 

Sometimes the results are good. 

Sometimes the results are bad. 

Our role is to help those people who are part of our circle of influence, the people we have responsibility for and stewardship over. 

The ultimate trick is movement, it is the secret to all success. 

When sad, keep moving forward…

When hurt, keep moving forward… 

When angry, keep moving forward… 

When scared, keep moving forward… 

When anxious, keep moving forward… 

Movement creates action, and action brings inspiration, creativity, and change. 

 

 

 

Worrying about something is ok if the worry is directed toward igniting action that solves a problem. 

Worrying about things that are outside of our control only causes anxiety and unhelpful suffering. 

Our thoughts create our peace or they create our chaos. 

Our thoughts form our purpose or they form our suffering. 

Integrity isn’t about knowledge or testimony, it is about making sure actions align with words (both internal and external). 

All success can be traced back to trust. 

If they trust you, they will do business with you. 

If they trust you, they will support you. 

If they trust you, they will hire you. 

They need to trust your integrity and your ability. 

If both are in place, you will achieve great things. 

This is true for individuals as well as organizations. 

 

When you get an injury, healing the wound is about finding the cure, then repair, and finally recovery. 

In order to heal, you don’t need to understand why someone hurt you. 

You definitely don’t need to blame who did it. 

Asking why is great when the truth helps us, most of the time when injury is concerned, the historical truth can’t and won’t help us heal. 

Just being aware that it happened allows us to take curative action in the short term, and preventative action in the long term. 

When you get bit by a snake, you don’t need to interview the the snake the get the antidote.

You don’t need to blame the snake to rest and recover once the antidote has been applied. 

And you don’t need to talk it out with the snake to prevent getting bitten again. 

Usually, those actions are ones we take for personal gratification thinking they will help us heal, when in reality it just delays the healing and ends up causing us to waste time, become a victim, and get hurt again and again. 

 

 

Understanding the needs of others is simple. 

Understanding the wants and desires of others is complex.

Justification is simple. 

Accepting responsibility is complex. 

Talk is simple. 

Taking action is complex.  

Simple starts easy and finishes hard.

Complex starts hard and finishes easy.
