You might think I’m being lazy with this writing because I’m simply re-quoting parts and pieces from my books, blogs and social media feeds. Well, to you naysayers, I would say…YOU ARE CORRECT. But in fairness to laziness, I’m re-quoting parts and pieces that others have told me that meant something to them. So think of it this way: someone else has taken away the cumbersome chore of chewing your food for you.
See? When you look at it like that, it’s gross but it’s easier to find the positive.

We are motivated by two primary drives: fear and hope. Fear is useful when running from a bear; hope, though, is what tells us that the world isn’t made up of bears.
You don’t win medals for what you DON’T do: I didn’t rob a bank, I didn’t kill a homeless man, I didn’t sleep with my neighbor’s wife. Living a life of DON’Ts isn’t the same as living a life driven by positive intent and purpose.
