Carol Burnett said "When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go." I love this. If you've listened to me for any length of time... you know I LIVE this one. I've been absolutely fortunate that I get to do what I get to do. I really do thank God for this opportunity each and every day... when I wake up... and when I go to sleep... and many times in between! If you don't feel that way about your chosen path in life, you're missing out!! Why not? I understand that sometimes there are circumstances that get in the way. TRUST ME, I've had many of those as well! My advice in that scenario is to map out a plan to get back on track. Do something every day to take a step towards the life you want. It might be a tiny little step... or a giant leap... but make sure you're always gaining momentum to get where you WANT to be in life, and don't give up!

John F. Kennedy said "The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining." I love this... it is so true! I was at an event that was already happening when we got there. It was at this time that they were making some pretty important plans for the event. I was thinking “why didn't they think of this BEFORE the event?” I understand that sometimes things come up that you were not planning for, but this one was a thing that everyone should have been ready for... but they were not ready. I actually offered to help! I gave some advice, based on how we do this simple thing at an event I host each year. They looked at me like I just invented the alphabet! They were thankful and amazed at this advice. I walked away laughing on the inside, because it was something I thought was pretty simple, but was overlooked. So my advice is, plan in advance!

Aristotle said "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." I agree. I have enjoyed some very high highs in my life, but I've also endured some very low lows. It's amazing how many friends you have on the mountain top... and how lonely it can be in the valley. During those times, I've made some amazing decisions. I've also found ways to be more nimble and work on better ways to do things. I don't know about you, but I never think about ways to save money when I have plenty to spend. But when times are tight, I often find ways to stretch every penny a little further. I might even use a coupon or two! I often have amnesia when things are good. This is usually when I'm signing up for subscriptions for things. Then when things are not as good. I'm in there canceling all those subscriptions!

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon said "When deeds speak, words are nothing." Wow, what a nice way to say that. It's kinda of like the saying “actions speak louder than words”... which we can probably all agree on. Have you ever known someone who talked a good game, but they never actually followed through? Or someone who said all the right things, but DID all the wrong things? I'll bet you probably just thought of someone when I said that. There are famous examples in the political world, but I'll steer clear of THAT subject. We all know someone who may even be well-meaning, but they fall short of being well-doing! I've tried to make sure I do the things I say I'm gonna do. It's a pet peeve of mine. I've been on committees where someone says they'll do A, B, C & D! But next month they still haven't even done A. Don't be that person!

Bob Dylan said "What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." I love this quote. My wife's aunt is a huge Bob Dylan fan... I think he's pretty cool, but I love this quote because I live this quote! I wake up and thank God that I get to live this quote. I absolutely love what I get to do. Sometimes I end up working way longer hours than what most people would call normal, but when you love what you're doing, it doesn't even feel like you're working! In my life that now stretched over a half century, I've only had a few job that I didn't love. I've never had a job that I didn't like, and I know that's a blessing. I know way too many people who trade their entire day for money in a pretty unhappy arrangement. If you love what you do, welcome to the good life!
