Marietta, GA – Optimism
“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity.
The optimist see opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
When we look for opportunities, we normally find it.
Isn’t it obvious that many great leaders spend less time whining and more time leading during difficult times?

Marietta, GA – Do What You Love
“Do what you love with people you love”
This is a wonderful quote from the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett.
My advice is to listen to Warren when he says that surrounding yourself with friends who you can share with is very important in being successful and happy.

Cincinnati, OH – You Become What You Think About
How do you know “what” to do if you don’t know “what” you want?
Our mind is coded like a supercomputer to process the inputs that we give it.
It’s like the adage from my IBM days, “Garbage in, garbage out.”
“George Fuechsel, an early IBM programmer and instructor, is generally given credit for coining the term. Fuechsel is said to have used “garbage in, garbage out” as a concise way of reminding his students that a computer just processes what it is given.”
We make incremental changes to our activities to accomplish what we think about. Your internal compass will point you to what your thoughts direct you to do.
Fill your mind with good and you get it. Fill your mind with bad and you get that too.

Cincinnati, OH – Great quote from Thomas Paine
“The world is my country,
All mankind is my brethren,
And to do good is my religion.”
Thomas Paine
American Revolution Period (1776 – 1783)
We contribute to our world when we think beyond our own self-interests and go bigger.
Help top off someone else’s batteries today and you will be blessed yourself. Try it.

Cincinnati, OH – What is demanded of us?
A wonderful quote today from Micah in the Tanakh (Old Testament) that should encourage ACTION of you today.
“O man, what is good, and what the Lord demands of you; but
to do justice,
to love kindness, and
to walk discreetly with your God.”
Use your day to make good choices and contribute positive change for our world.

Ancient Irish Poem – 8th Century
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
thou my best thought by day or by night,
walking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
–
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, I thy true son;
thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
–
Be thou my battle shield, sword for my fight;
be thou my dignity, thou my soul’s shelter,
thou my high tow’r; raise thou me heavenward,
O Power of my power.
–
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
thou my inheritance, now and always:
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art.
–
High King of heaven, my victory won,
may I reach heaven’s joy, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
Key West, FL – Kindness
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted”
Aesop (620-564 BC)
Greek philosopher
If you adhere to the ancient thought that nothing is accidental or random but everything has a purpose, then you will definitely agree with this quote from Aesop.
We are living in the world of Big Data and Quantum computing today. The algorithm of life’s complexity is proving that everything is affected by cause and effect. If we have a large enough blockchain we will know that nothing happens without modifying the future. Noodle on that for a few minutes.

West Palm Beach, FL – The Similarity Effect
The Similarity Effect – “People surround themselves with people much like themselves”
This social rule has repeatedly been proven over and over. It takes effort and patience to change and migrate toward a different tribe of like-minded social animals.
This is true whether someone wants to climb up the social, economic or political class ladder or descend toward the lower classes.
You become what you think about most of the time. When you have a choice, you also assimilate with others that you feel comfortable with and want to emulate. This was proven true in Henry David Thoreau’s life and still accurate today.

Key West, FL – Great quote from Winston Churchill
“I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies.”
Winston Churchill
A great quote from an English gentleman who experienced a lot from his political perch in 20th century Britain during a time of great stress and upheaval. Two world wars within 25 years makes our political environment today seem tame in comparison.
Continue to do what you must to promote good and not just with words but with ACTION. Oh, and looting buildings and setting someone else’s car on fire isn’t doing good, just so you know. Wink, Nod.
