The most underrated mantra: This too shall pass.

"Count your blessings, not your problems." - Anonymous

To break a toxic pattern you have to be honest with yourself about the role you played in creating it and how much you participate in your own suffering.

The biggest communication problem is we don't listen to understand, we listen to reply.

1. Saying “no” How many times have you done something simply because you felt obligated? Or you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings? Let the power of “no” liberate you. A full-hearted “no” will always be better than a half hearted “yes”.

Normalize saying "you're right, I’m sorry" instead of holding onto your pride.

It’s always the quiet work that pays off the most. Don’t confuse the loud fools with the actual winners.

No one owes you anything today. Quit looking for excuses. Find reasons to succeed. Start making things happen. Get busy living your best life.

When is the right time to start celebrating Christmas? Here’s what we think!💭 #AxeEm x #RaiseTheAxe

this is very important to understand

Prayers needed for one of our own, Graylan Spring, a freshman WR for Lumberjack Football. He was involved in a terrible accident yesterday, involving a semi. He is now fighting for his life and needs all of our prayers! Please pray for him, his family, and his entire medical team…🙏

Send a prayer up for the McAfoose and the Spring families tonight. Two young lives, tragically lost. As a father, I can’t imagine what these parents are going through. Hug your people and tell them you love them as often as you can. This life is far too short. #AxeEm 💜

We are heartbroken over the passing of Micah and Graylan. Our prayers are with their families during this difficult time. SFA Athletic Department Statement: bit.ly/3iXdxLo #AxeEm x #RaiseTheAxe

1. About 50% of happiness is determined by genetics. 10% is determined by circumstances. And 40% is determined by us: our thoughts, our actions, and our attitude. Most of us overestimate the role of circumstances - and underestimate our own role - in increasing our happiness.
