C.S. Lewis said "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." When I was a kid... there was an actor who was making movies in his 80s and 90s! George Burns could have retired, but instead, he kept doing what he loved to do. I have a friend who worked with George Burns making the movie 18 again. It's a great movie and our friend said George Burns was one of the kindest people he ever worked with. He was generous with his time and poured into our friend Charlie to help him grow as an actor. When he speaks of his time with George Burns he lights up, still today over 35 years later! You're never too old to set goals... or to help others with their goals!

Steve Jobs said "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." I love this. There are many similar quotes that all kind of come back to the thought of DO WHAT YOU LOVE... and you'll never work a day in your life. I heard that when I was 18 or 19. I followed the path of doing what I love. I absolutely do love what I do... but I can't say I've never worked a day. I sometimes have worked 15 to 18 hour days... because I found something I'm passionate about. Something I truly enjoy... something that I'd probably do for free... and actually have a few times!

Robert Collier said "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." I love that. So many times we think about the things that “work out” and try to figure out why. What was it that got that person to buy something from you today? Was it something we did today? Or was it something we did every day for a month or two that finally led up to today. The process is more intricate than we even know. We make hundreds or thousands of small decisions every single day. These little decisions can all be altered by influences around us. Something can make you turn right... instead of left. That turn could lead to a car crash... or could help you avoid one!

Brian Tracy said "You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you." What a great quote. Think about that. Whatever happens... you are ready to deal with it. It might not be fun. You may discover things about yourself that you never even knew. And sadly, you may discover some of the people you thought were your friends, may not be there, while people who you barely knew may step up to help in your time of need. BE THAT PERSON to someone else when THEY need help. It's amazing what a smile can do for someone when they're having a rough day! I hope you never need to deal with anything truly awful, but if it happens. You can prevail!

Thomas Sowell said “I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.” I had a long conversation with a friend about this very topic just the other day. Our discussion was not political in nature, although this would certainly be a topic of discussion for political debate too, but we were talking about business. He mentioned that now that he owns the place, he pays closer attention to expenses. I can relate. When I was an employee... I had no idea how expensive it was to run a business... and it's EASIER to spend someone else's money than it is to spend your own. If you know... you know!
