Buckminster Fuller said “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” What a great concept. I just had a conversation with a client about something very similar. They have multiple business locations. There is a space in one building that is not being used. It is an older building that will need some renovations to make it work for the project we're talking about. They happen to have another building in the same exact town with all new renovations from a few years ago. There is a space that has never been finished. I suggested that we look at that space and finish that instead of trying to do the old building, because when it is all over and done, that will still be an older building in a less popular area, so why not do the newer place!?

Jane Goodall said “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” That is so true! Think about it like this. Every decision is a crossroads. You can go straight. You can turn right. You can turn left, or you can turn around. Each direction leads to a different place, but other decisions along the way might actually lead you back to the same destination, but with a different path to get there. I know people who turned one way while I turned the other way, but years later our paths crossed again. In life, it's OK to take a different path sometimes. Just make sure you know your destination. Then think through each decision to see if this will take you closer to the desired destination, or further away. If you know that, and you make decisions based on that. You'll eventually get there.

Martin Luther King Jr. said “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” What a great quote. Can you accept disappointment? If not, don't ever get involved in sales of any kind, and whatever you do, don't start your own business. I've been a business owner for over half of my life. I've worked in sales for a little longer. I understand that you might tell me no. As a matter of fact, there are better odds that you'll say no. I'm OK with that. I'm not gonna say no for you. I'll give you the chance to say yes, if you do, we get to work together! If you say no, I will move on to someone else and eventually I find my yes. So many people get hung up on that. WHY? It's not personal. It's just business! You don't need everyone to say yes. If you go out to see enough people and do your best to help them. You'll be fine!

Mahatma Gandhi said “The future depends on what we do in the present.” What a great quote. I was talking about this very concept with my wife. We had done an amazing job of working on a better lifestyle for the better part of the second half of last year. We were doing different versions of FASTING! Then, around Thanksgiving time, we switched to FEASTING mode. I did pretty good for 4 days a week, but the other three days we went a little over-board. Instead of keeping up with losing weight, we both gained a little back. Not everything that we lost, but enough. My wife said “I wish we could go back and do that differently” I said, “we can! It starts today and we need to keep on the right side of things this time.” In six months, we will look back at today, just like we look back at six months age right now. So today is the day to start!

Galileo Galilei said "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." Very true! We should absolutely use our senses... and reason... and intellect. I see some things online where I wonder if they forgot that. I do my very best to bring people together. I had lunch with a young man who said he likes division. He said it helps you know what someone really believes when they stand up for their side to fight. I suppose that's true, but I'd rather not fight. I have personally never seen anyone win that kind of fight. If I beat you over the head with facts and call you names. Will that change YOUR mind? Probably not. But if I listen to you and let you say what you need to say, then respectfully share my point of view. Maybe we can get along!
