Feeling sorry for yourself is selfish. 

Feeling sorry for others is useless. 

Taking action to help yourself and taking action to help others is selfless, powerful, and useful. 

If you say no to most everything, 

then you are free,

to say yes,

to everything, 

that matters. 

When someone doesn’t live up to your expectations, change your approach. 

Coach better. Teach better. Encourage better. 

The likelihood of you changing someone is small, the ability to change yourself if huge. 

Anger is not wrong. 

Acting in anger though will always result in wrong actions. 

The more gratitude we show, the less depression we feel. 

The more gratitude we experience, the less anxious we feel. 

The more gratitude we have, the less torment we endure. 

Life is about suffering, but it is not about hurting. Suffering is what we go through. Hurting is how we see and react to the suffering.  

Struggles are the strongest just before the biggest breakthroughs. 

Control is always a mirage, something we create when we lack confidence. 

Certainty is an illusion, some we manufacture in order to block out reality. 

Work hard for who you are, not for who you work for.

Work hard for what you are, not what you are working for. 

Sometimes, forging your own path looks like pride but it is actually self-actualization. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Gero! 

Mediocrity is passive. 

Greatness is active. 

Mediocrity is passive-aggressive. 

Greatness is just aggressive.
