Complaining doesn’t work. 

Criticizing rarely works. 

Condemning always stops the work. 

Honesty consistently works. 

Forgiving invariably will work. 

Gratitude forever works. 

Control is given, not taken. 

Wherever we give blame, that is where the control also lies. 

If we give the blame to ourselves, we have control.

If we give the blame to others, they have control. 

Thoughts determine decisions.

Decisions are choices.

Choices direct actions.

Actions show your position. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, EVA! I love you. 

 

If the current habits, methods, systems, and processes are not working we have two options:

1. Keep going by working smarter and harder. 
2. Do something else, try something totally new.  

Knowing when to do each option is key. It is about understanding your own skills and strengths and how they align with your goals.  It is also about listening to those who have done exactly what you are trying to do.

Always push toward your goals, just pay attention of when you need to work smarter and harder or when you need readjust everything. 

Sometimes, the peace you are searching for is already there, you just need to accept it. 

When you see a trend, you know everyone is doing that and learning that.

Find the trends and then master something else. That will be a skill that is currently undervalued, but still drastically needed. 

Anger is a problem and waiting can be the solution, delaying can be the cure. 

Time destroys anger. 

When angry, the right decision, the proper direction is often found in the delay. 

When mad, wait a minute to take action. 

Everything is connected. 

Not everyone can see the connections. 

Those who can see and then maximize the unseen connections are those who can drive change and influence others. 

When you put your all into any endeavor you will succeed. Maybe not today, maybe not right away, but you will. You will win because 99% of everyone else will do put their all, they will not sacrifice true effort. 

true effort = heart + mind + body

Gratitude helps replace our grief. 

Courage drowns out the fear. 

Faith inspires obedience to truth. 

Love ignites and supports potential.
