Tim McGraw said "Live a life so when I die, there's standing room only." What a thought. Have you ever been to a funeral like that? I have. A few times. It's sad that the person was gone, but the amazing crowd of people who were impacted by the person made me proud to know them. The few times I've seen this happen were both younger people. One was barely out of high school and the other was in their thirties. Both times it was a tragic loss. Both times you could see their impact on the community by looking at the number of people who showed up to say goodbye. I'm not egotistical enough to care how many people come to my funeral. I'd rather not even think about that, but more importantly. I want to make sure I'm doing whatever I can for the people in my life and to what I can to make my community better anywhere and any way I can.

George Washington said "Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a persons own mind, than on the externals in the world." I like that. I've never heard this quote before, but I love it. I try to float through life with a smile on my face. I do my very best to find happiness wherever I go. Does that mean that I'm never unhappy? Of course not. Sadly, I still need more help here, but I'm trying to find joy everywhere. I'm also trying to SPREAD joy and happiness. If I'm known for something, I'd rather it be something positive. I don't want to be the guy who's always unhappy and spreading that unhappiness wherever I go. I try to be the glass half full guy. I encourage you to do the same thing. Look inside yourself to find things to smile about. Find things that make you happy and focus on some of those things when you need a boost.

Simon Sinek said “Focus on long-term success, but be willing to make short-term adjustments to get there.” Very well said. I've used this example before, but it's a good example. If you're driving north but your destination is west, you need to turn to get where you're going. The sooner you turn, the better. If you wait too long, you need to turn around just to get back to the area. So the sooner you respond, the sooner you can make adjustments to get back on track. If you miss your exit and you adjust at the very next exit, that's completely different than missing your exit and staying on the wrong road for three hours. I've actually worked with companies who know they're going the wrong way, but instead of turning around, they seem to be OK with going the wrong way, but then they act surprised when they never make it to their destination.

Indra Nooyi said “Leadership is hard to define, and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.” I know many people who are natural leaders for this very reason. I bet we could all think of some nationally famous leaders who have this kind of charisma or whatever you call it. People who lead because people WANT to follow them. People are drawn to them for some reason. Many times it's because we feel like they're being genuine. You just like what they say and how they say it. Some of these people find a nice place in show business. Some find their home in politics. Others find a fine little home in media. Now with social media this is open to everyone with that thing. That charisma or whatever you want to call it. They say things and people follow them!

Carol Dweck said “Becoming is better than being.” very interesting. I was not familiar with Carol, so I searched the web to see who that is. She is the author of “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” in that book she talks about legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden where she said “He didn’t ask for mistake-free games. He didn’t demand that his players never lose. He asked for full preparation and full effort from them. “Did I win? Did I lose? Those are the wrong questions. The correct question is: Did I make my best effort?” If so, he says, “You may be outscored but you will never lose.” Very cool quotes. Now I'm heading down a rabbit hole to read more quotes from Carol. I would recommend these to others. Maybe we'll have a few more quotes in the coming weeks. I look forward to them!
