John Wooden said "Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable." I love that. To be the best of which you are capable of. Sometimes I feel like the bar is set a little too high for some of us! I'm not going to see the same kind of results as someone else. We are unique individuals, but we sometimes compare ourselves, maybe in an unhealthy way, to everyone around us. If you have a friend who is trying to lose weight and you're also trying, it can be hard to see them succeed in a quicker fashioned that you are. You don't know why they are hitting these milestones so quickly, when you struggle to hit them. That's OK, you are not the same people. You're going to see different results, because your bodies are different. It's OK!

Ray Bradbury said "We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out." What a great quote. I think we need to let more beauty out and that comes in many forms. I love the beauty of humor! When someone is struggling with something that makes them sad, how amazing is it to be able to say something in a certain way to change their whole day, by adding some healing humor. This is also a delicate thing, the whole thing can backfire. Humor is amazing. As a comedian, I feel like this is powerful tool, to get people laughing together, rather that fighting with one another. In this political and divisive time, it can be hard to get people to agree on anything, but some things are just plain funny. To get people to come together and laugh, it's one of the best things ever!

Abby Wambach said "I've never scored a goal in my life without getting a pass from someone else." Very true! When the very best football quarterback makes a pass, someone has to catch it. When the best baseball player throws the ball, someone has to catch it. Whether you're on the giving side or the receiving side, there are often other people in the equation. I was honored to have been a part of an amazing radio team back in 2005. When I started the company had not hit a goal in a long time. I made some adjustments to the very same team of people. We began hitting and exceeding our goals. It was not me, but I was part of the team that did this. We all worked together, sometimes better than other times. This gave me the confidence to start a company to do my own thing. It's been amazing. Teamwork is awesome!

Bobby Kennedy said "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." Yes! It's completely true! I'll give an example from the wide world of sports, even though I'm not a sports guy, I love the fact that Babe Ruth was the home run leader AND the strike out leader in the same year. It happened twice, in 1923 and in 1927. He would either knock it out of the park, or he would miss completely! He said “I hit big or I miss big, but everything I do, I do big” Let's look at the numbers, in 1923 Babe hit 41 Home Runs and he had 151 Strikeouts. In 1927 he hit 60 Home Runs: 60 and he had 89 Strikeouts, Leading the American League each time. He's knows for being a great player, but did you notice that he struck out more often, yet we still think of him as a winner! I love that. Maybe people see your achievements over your flaws.

Bob Hope said "I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful." I recently had a comedy night event that turned into something quite different. A gentleman passed away at the bar earlier that day. He was a regular customer and I had met him on many occasions. That evening, we were supposed to do our regular comedy show at 7:30. Instead, I paid the comedians and told them they could stay or go, but we were not going to tell jokes. Instead, we honored the man who was there every day, up until his last day. His friends each shared stories. We played some of his favorite music. We all laughed together, there were also tears all around, and we let humor do the healing. It was an unexpected thing, but we use humor for some healthy healing that night.
