“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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Talked about all my injuries. Arm. Groin. How I set big goals for the year, and needed to switch focus from growth to recovery. It’s been tough getting through my thick skull that I have to give everything great amounts of time and rest. Sometime I push too hard, unceasingly that it takes me way longer than it should to bounce back from injury.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 
The moment when your young children wake up in the morning and come out of their rooms to embrace you is a special time. I’m usually in my recliner, drinking coffee and as soon as I hear their door open I stop whatever I am doing and open my arms to embrace them. Our heavenly Father desires the same time with us – So instead of grabbing your phone and getting busy checking email, social media or whatever – Just stop, pause for a moment – and realize that God is there waiting on you to come and be with him just like you wait for your kids. It can be short, 5 minutes being quiet, studying his word, listening.  Can you imagine if your kid walked out of his/her bedroom and saw you waiting with open arms and said.. “hold on dad, I’ve got to reply to this person or see what happened while I was sleeping.” Seems kinda silly right?

“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.
