I love conjuring a good quote, especially if it stimulates thinking, problem solving and spurs potential solutions and pathways for my readers.
That Which Is Potentially The Best, Becomes Worst When CorruptedThe World Needs The Real You, Not The Conforming PretenderWant To Do Yourself A Favor?
Imagine what would happen if you loved yourself so much that you weren’t threatened by other people’s abilities, possessions, education, & looks.

Now do the World a favor & Just Do It!There Are Plenty Of Things In Life Beyond Your Control, So You Have To Control Those Few Things That You Are Able ToAll The Money And Fame In The World Cannot Buy You Self-Esteem, Freedom, Peace Of Mind, And/Or Happiness, Just The Illusion Of ItIndistractable Focus Improves Production More Than Keeping Busy Ever WillNo Matter Who We Are, When We Look Back, We Wonder If It Was Truly Us“Subjecting” yourself to physical, intellectual & emotional challenges, sometimes even discomfort & pain, is necessary to be your best self.Those Who Claim To Be The Most Tolerant Are Usually The Most Intolerant Of OthersI Used To Tell My Kids, There Are Two Ways To Make The Best Sandcastle. Work Hard To Make The Best Sandcastle You Can, Motivating Other Kids To Do The Same And Then Improving Your Sandcastle As Needed. Other Is Simpler; Just Go Knock Down Everyone Else’s Sandcastle So Your Little Pile Of Sand Is The BestThe Tragedy With Villains Is Not Just The Victims Of Their Crimes And Criminal Acts, But The Opportunity Costs Of Them Choosing Criminal Activities Instead Of Doing Good.

These People Are The Antithesis Of The Expert Or Master, Who As A Direct Result Of Their Knowledge Knows They Do Not Know Everything, So Strives To Learn MoreIt is a rare person indeed, who is infinitely confident in their worth, yet infinitely polite, relatable, and empathetic to othersThere are TWO ways to have the largest skyscraper.
One is to work hard to build the best skyscraper, inspiring others to do the same, making yourself and the world better.
Other people work hard to demolish everyone else’s skyscrapers and discourage others, so their shack is the largest skyscraper.
Be the first type of personI’ve always told my kids, “Last thing I want you to be is human calculator because I can buy one for .99”
