My Idiot Mentality

Happy Monday! I had a great Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family. 

Topics covered
1) Thanksgiving - it's ok to fill your dessert plate every now and again. One day doesn't define who you are. Your daily habits do. 
2) Focus & Control - Focus on the things you can control. Things you can't control are a waste of your energy. 
3) Discipline -  Iowa 28 Nebraska 21 - People would rather have a "sexy" brand of football and lose than have a "boring" (read disciplined and fundamentally sound) football team and win. Just silliness. 

Have Fun. Get Better. Love Life. 

Happy Wednesday! I've got a couple lessons from my wife's school/interaction

1) Applebee's - Walker Hayes - How a  little girl's goal to eat at Applebee's was a humbling moment. 
2) Mental Health - Life of an elementary classroom teacher and perspective on how my day to day workload isn't all that bad. 

Have Fun. Get Better. Love Life. 

Happy Monday! 

Quote from my notebook today:
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Topics covered

Topics covered
1) Understanding your personal why and they why behind your business
