Focusing on getting the most out of every situation is stressful. Focusing on giving the most in every situation is liberating.

There is a fine line between optimism and delusion. I cross it often.

L.I.F.E. = Living Inspired & Fulfilled Everyday.

How we live our lives gives those we love permission to do the same. That is a power and a responsibility that we can never take lightly.

Consider that worrying excessively about another person, especially a loved one, is a destructive act. It causes you emotional distress which prevents you from being at your best and contributing at the levels you're capable of. Instead of worrying, focus on accepting what is out of your control, and actively changing all that you can.

As a leader, parent, or friend - don't let someone's poor attitude and poor performance hinder your commitment to holding them to higher standards. You don't need to make the person 'wrong' for the way they're behaving, simply point out that the behavior is ineffective.

Give more than you get. Everyday. Everywhere. With everyone. Always.
