Make big goals. Dream big visions. Achieve big things.

Looking forward, I’d like to be intentional about a handful or key items.

I used to believe that with enough planning it was possible to eliminate the uncertainty of the gray areas in life.

Outdoing everyone else in the big 3 (acquisition, recognition, and compensation) is a fool’s errand.

Wanting for nothing, we are stuck in a cycle of chasing everything. So we work and work and work. As a result, our stress grows and grows and grows.

The craving we feel for the next “hit” of stimulation isn’t all that different from an alcoholic longing for their next drink.

Planning to improve the odds of success is a wise move. Planning to eliminate uncertainty is a fool’s errand.

The world is packed with overachievers competing for – and winning – accomplishments.

A helpful escape can be as simple as an afternoon at a park, a dinner someplace new, a day at a lake, or a weekend hiking the hills of a national park.

​​It’s easy to feel that we “have to” go to the grocery, meet with the finance team, plan our vacation, etc.
