Again, I gotta say – it’s all about attitude. A guy at my work spoiled my attitude and I let it ruin a day and half for me. I made a conscious decision to be positive (or not negative) and it completely turned things around for me. Just enter every situation, every new day, every greeting with positivity. Smile, great pleasantly, banish negative thoughts and you will feel so much better.

I heard a song a few days ago by the band, Ten Years After. The song didn’t get me to thinking. It was the groups name. I thought back to ten years ago (2009) – give or take a few months. Memorable in many ways. I remembered finding my wife, Julie, on the floor, blue in color. I remembered my stroke and heart surgery and the few warning signs I had a few weeks earlier. I remembered Staff Sgt Jason Dalhke, 1st Battalion Ranger Regiment. He was Emily’s and Travis’ (daughter and son-in-law) best friend. Julie and I made full recoveries. Jason was killed in action at the age of 29 in the mountains of Afghanistan.
I have been given the gift of the last ten years, as have Julie. Jason, for whatever reasons God has, didn’t get to experience them.
So here I was a few days ago, not thinking “why” but thinking “what.” Not why me. Rather, what have I done with the last 10 years. Sure, I can remember successes, failures, mistakes, joy, … all kinds of things. Did I earn those 10 years? No way. I don’t believe that’s how it works. Rather it made me think about the things I need to learn from the past 10 or whatever number of years. I need to take what I have learned and build on it for the future. I challenge each of you to think about the last 10 years and to think of the personal progress made – and the personal miscues experienced. Then think about the way you have been able to build upon the past – hopefully in a positive way.
I intend to get into some follow up BOM talks in my upcoming Q’s. We’ll see how that goes. Until then, remember that in many ways our future is built upon our past. First, though, we have to learn from it.

Short version – Don’t spend your life chasing the small, incremental moments of happiness. Find the joy in what you naturally do every day in life.
“Happiness is an emotional response to an outcome. If I win, I will be happy, if I don’t I won’t. It’s an if-then, cause and effect, quid pro quo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it. See, happiness demands a certain outcome, it is result reliant and I say if happiness is what you’re after then you’re gonna be let down frequently and you’re gonna be unhappy much of your time. Joy though… Joy is a different thing, its something else. Joy is not a choice, it’s not a response to some result. It’s a constant. Joy is the feeling that we have from doing what we are fashioned to do no matter the outcome. See, joy is always in process it’s under construction. It is in constant approach alive and well in the doing of what we’re fashioned to do and enjoying. The easiest way to dissect success is through gratitude. Give thanks for that which we do have, for what is working. Appreciating the simple things we sometimes take for granted. We give thanks for these things and that gratitude reciprocates. Creating more to be thankful for.It’s really simple, and it works. I’m not saying be in denial of your failures. No, we can learn from them too. But only if we look at them constructively as a means to reveal what we are good at. What we can get better at, what we do succeed at. We don’t always do our best, and since we are the architects of our own lives, let’s study the habits, the practices, the routines that we have that lead to and feed our success, our joy, our honest pain, our laughter, our earned tears. Lets dissect that and give thanks for those things. No matter what you choose, do not let it jeopardize your soul.”

“A band of brothers, in the sense that we use the words in this book, is not a meeting, a club, a therapy group, or a self-help society. It is the group of men we do life with. It is the team of brothers committed with us to the cause of great manhood. It is the band of men with whom we build a manly culture of inspiration and achievement.” – Stephen Mansfield, “Building Your Band of Brothers”
