Some people will hurt you.

Some people will hate you. 

Some people don’t matter. 

Only your people matter. 

Choose your people and forget the rest. 

Embracing what is,

Embracing what is to come, 

and Embracing what could be,

is the mindset that sets us free. 

Once this truth becomes real to us, confidence increases:

No one is better than you,

You are better than no one.

Accomplishment depends on the action we take. 

Relationships are built by support, trust, and action – not guilt. 

Guilt kills but encouragement builds. 

When someone leaves, it is about them. 

When someone stays, it is about them. 

The more we make it about us, the more painful it becomes. 

Worrying will never change the future. 

Regret will never change the past. 

Action and gratitude will always change the present. 

Whenever we connect and compare our growth, status, role, position, or impact to that of another we are limiting our potential and encouraging personal suffering.

Comparing ourselves to others eventually brings pain and unnecessary suffering. 

Eliminate the pain by focusing on what you can control. 

If it is valuable and beneficial, it will cost us. 

To create worthwhile relationships, we need to pay the price.

To create success, we need to pay the price.

Once we are willing to pay the price, the cost is no longer an obstacle. 

If you are looking for someone to be on your team you cannot go wrong with the traits of care and curiosity combined with the will to win. 

Bad performers want to be told they are good. 

Average performers want to be left alone. 

Good performers want to know how to improve. 

Great performers will do what it takes to improve, no matter the cost.
