“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” – Mother Teresa

When we come in contact with other people, we should be leaving them in a better state than we found them. It is our responsibility to help raise them up, and to make sure that we do not let any negativity bring us down. No man left behind, no man left the same.

“The only person holding you back is you. No more excuses. It’s time to change.” – Tony Robbins

We have the power to change our own lives. There is another quote that says something along the lines of change what you can change and accept what you cannot change. A pet peeve of mine is when some of my employees come in on Monday and start talking about how terrible Mondays are and how they don’t want to be there. Then on Friday, they’re all excited because they don’t have to be at work the next two days and they just can’t wait to get out of there. To me, they need to change jobs if they have that attitude. If you dislike 5 days of your week, then change it. If you’re not willing to change it, then accept it. This is one step on the road to happiness. We need to constantly re-evaluate our situations and how we feel about them and we need to take action in our lives when necessary.

Kobe Bryant was all over the news and social media this week after his sudden passing in a helicopter crash. One of my favorite quotes I saw by him was:

” I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant”

He spent his life becoming one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He had plenty of people he looked up to, but he was himself and never stopped being himself.

1 Samuel 16:7 – But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as a man sees: Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

Be your own person in life. Don’t follow in the footsteps of others. Use them as examples and learning points to form the person you want your friends, family, and children to remember when you’re gone one day. That is what leaving a legacy is all about.

Stress. I just talked about Stress and the role it plays in our lives. yes, there are many things around us that give us stress but ultimately, we bring stress on ourselves. Stress is based on how we deal with things. For me recently, we just brought home 2 puppies! I have 3 young boys, a work schedule that could keep me working 60 hours a week, kids sports, spending time with the M,etc….LOTS of stuff going on right?! Well, I make my bed and I lay in it! Therefore, I could easily be stressed out but I know everything will work itself out so I try not to stress over it. PRAYER HELPS!! 🙂

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This is something I’ve mentioned before. However, I need a daily focus on it. For those of us who are married, it’s not a 50/50 thing. It’s 100/100. Today we went around the fountain as pairs, each going opposite ways and meeting on the other side. Nobody stopped halfway and waited for their partner. Just kept going until they met. With your spouse, don’t just go halfway. Give it your all. When crap hits the fan in life, be ready to go the full distance.

MOLESKIN:
It’s been a while since I was on ol’ Crumpet… Somebody planted a daggum tree right down near the bottom of the hill. Little spindly sapling thing… I just about ran right over it on my first trip up.
