Are You in the Cave or the Tunnel?

Dark is not the opposite of light. It is just the absence of light. Be the light.

"We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light."
- Earl Nightengale.

Can you guess the #1 predictor of longevity? It's not meaningful relationships- that's #2.

As far as this business of solitary confinement goes, the most important thing for survival is communication with someone, even if it is only a wave or a wink, a tap on the wall, or to have a guy put his thumb up. It makes all the difference."

Gratitude is best when...

Leaders are the people who elevate, motivate, inspire, and drive things forward, regardless of where they find themselves.

I wish I hadn't reminded my kids to say "Thank You." This message is for all ages!

Before our kids (we) EXPRESS appreciation, they (we) should EXPERIENCE appreciation.

It's like sprinkling the leaves of a plant when what's needed is to water the roots.

The intention is to guide them (and us) from recognizing kindness to valuing kindness.
A x A x A = AG Awareness x Appreciation x Acknowledgement = Authentic Gratitude

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less."

Can I tell you a story about Sloane

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light... that most frightens us... You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world... We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And, as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give permission for other people to do the same."

 - Marianne Williamson

Time Is a Choice

“Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time.

Someone has said, “Three things never come back—the spent arrow, the spoken word, and the lost opportunity.”

"We cannot recycle or save the time allotted to us each day. With time, we have only one opportunity for choice, and then it is gone forever.”
- Dallin H. Oaks
