The world will ask you who you are and if you do not know the world will tell you. -Carl Jung

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Take a moment and zoom out. Celebrate the little victories you had this week. Your challenges were deeply personal but you’re here! You made it work! Be proud! Notice how you grew through the trials. Breakdowns lead to breakthroughs. Little by little, the little becomes a lot.

Happy Monday! It’s a fresh start if you need it. Leave last week in last week and focus on the behaviors that move you forward. It’s the next step if you want it. Build on the the blessings and lessons from last week to get better. Work hard. Do good. Be kind. Happy Monday!

Later is dangerous I’ll focus on my health later I’ll spend time with my kids later I’ll prioritize my marriage later I’ll save money later I’ll get better at _____ later Later = Regret. It’s never too late to start. It’s always too late to wait. Do one thing better today.

Our greatest regrets are rarely failures to reach our goals. They're usually failures to uphold our values. Few people wish they'd been more ambitious. Many wish they'd been more courageous and generous. Success lies in building a career. Fulfillment lies in building character.

Your world needs some old fashioned kindness, compassion, and encouragement. Be a reason for hope and humanity today.

It’s Monday. We’re lucky to get a brand new week to share our mission with the world and get better. Leave the drama and regret with last week. Learn from it and move on. Put big effort into the small things. You got this!

You're not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Stop worrying about it. Master this day. Make it yours. Do what you can. Do what you should. Do your best. Tomorrow, try again.

When you "have to" but don't "want to", think about it like this... Some of us would "love to" but don't "get to". There will be mundane, annoying, or difficult things you get to do today that would feel like a blessing to others. Be grateful. Be great.

“The person who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” Embrace the boredom of consistency. The small rocks of the mountain are necessary, repetitive, boring, invisible & frustrating steps in the journey. Carry on. Little by little, the little becomes a lot.

Remember this for the voice in your head and the voices you’re hearing around you. Confidence is quiet. Insecurity is loud. Be kind but tune out the naysayers and nitpickers. They see something in you that they don’t see in themselves. You own the mountains you are moving.

Your dreams and goals are often gift wrapped with failure, stress, tough decisions, and struggle. Most people quit when they hit resistance and most of that resistance is between your ears. No one levels up for free. Earn it. Grit separates the best from the rest! You got this!

When you’re stepping outside of your comfort zone, remember this. It feels scary because you are unfamiliar, not because you are incapable.

Just because someone carries it well doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.

When you wake up today, give thanks to the people who helped you this week. Share joy with those who need it and those that brought it to you. Forgive the people that did you wrong this week. Love them anyway. Life is too short. Make today a good day.

The influence of a good teacher can never be erased and can never be measured. Across all areas of life, a good teacher changes trajectory for the better. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week and THANK YOU to all of my colleagues in education!

It took Starbucks 16 years to open 17 stores. Today, there are 40,000+ Starbucks locations worldwide. Whatever your working on, keep learning, adapting, growing, failing, pursuing. Adjust your plan and process, not the goal. Have a cup of coffee and don't give up!

It doesn’t matter how successful or unsuccessful you are right now but whether or not your habits are putting you on the path toward success. You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results. Get 1% better today. Process > Product

Not seeing results? Tired of waiting? Feel like giving up? Consider this - the very last thing to grow on a fruit tree... is the fruit. A seed was buried. Watered. Rooted. Sprouted. Growing. Surviving. Reaching. Through the storms and the sunshine. Keep at it. It will happen!
