Queen Elizabeth II said "It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult." What a great quote. I feel like this lesson has not been taken to heart by many people. All you need for evidence of this is about fifteen minutes to scroll on any social media platform. I'll pick on Facebook, because that's where I find myself wasting the most time. It's easy to be mean and critical in the comment section, but I do my very best to be uplifting and nice, because these other profiles are all people. People with feelings, friends and family. People who most likely, didn't mean to upset the internet with whatever their post was. I've witnessed people being grilled for the most minor things. Things that would never be mention in person.

Neil Armstrong said "Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand." What a great quote, but his most famous quote was the first words uttered from the surface of the moon. He famously said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" from the moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong always insisted he said "one small step for a man" distinguishing an individual person from all of mankind. The word "a" was likely dropped or masked by static and primitive radio transmission equipment. Later audio and linguistic analyses have supported the likelihood that he did say the word, even if it was inaudible in the original broadcast, either way, it's a great quote, so is the other quote from him! Mystery creates wonder!

Harvey Mackay said “Instead of giving yourself reasons why you can’t, give yourself reasons why you can!” What a great quote. This one could be printed out on a motivational poster to hang in my office! Think of the number of times we come up with excuses NOT to do something. I see it every single day. I've tried to stop doing that as often in my life. My wife recently told me that I need to say NO more often. It was on a day when I had three events back-to-back over the course of an afternoon. I'm not complaining, I love to help with events. I don't have deep pockets, so I can't give my community millions of dollars, but I do have some time and a little talent that I can lend to a worthy cause. I encourage you to find a way to leave a positive mark in life!

Paulo Coelho said "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." This quote is from "The Alchemist". I'd like to read that, it sounds fascinating. I think we've had a few other quotes sent in from that book as well. I'm not sure if the universe is conspiring for me, but I do feel absolutely blessed by God to have many of the things I'm working on turn into something way bigger and better than I could have ever done on my own. I'm not a super religious person, but I do believe in God and I've witnessed things that can only be described as miracles! I'm not here to tell you that you need to believe what I believe, but it would be about impossible to change my mind, based on what I've seen in life. I believe God conspires to help us!

Natalie Coughlin said "Without goals, training has no direction." I like this. I'm going to admit, I've always had a little bit of a problem with goals. I worked for a great radio company in Iowa. They made us write down our goals. I had a very candid discussion about the difference between a goal and a wish! I felt like their goals were just a nice way to describe a wish. There was very little calculation involved, but some math. Basically, whatever you're doing, add 20% more and there's your goal. I still feel like that was more of a wish. I had to fill out a form that showed how I was going to get there. I randomly guessed and hoped. I was not very good at that. Instead, these days I focus less on that, and more on helping my clients hit their goals. That helps me grow!
