Edward Young said "Too low they build, who build beneath the stars." Very cool quote. I'm going to share two completely different perspectives on this one. It could be about building things so big that you need more room than we have in this world. Elon Musk comes to mind... he has his sights set on Mars. That's still weird to me. The other perspective on this quote is more spiritual. If you're goals and plans are all for the here an now, even if you become the wealthiest man in the world, what good is that for an eternity without God? Are you building your wealth here or in heaven? OK.. I won't get preachy... but I thought it was profound how that same exact quote can go two very completely different ways, depending on how you look at it! Who am I to say which direction is right? I know which one matters more to me... how about you?

A Chinese proverb says "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." This is a great way to look at anything. The best time to start a diet was last year, but the second best time is tomorrow! OK... today... but it will probably wait until.. at least for me! I've worked with business owners to craft a marketing plan. You would never believe the number of times I've hear them say “we should have started this years ago!” Sometimes I can remind them that I called them years ago and they've been saying no! It's OK... the second best time really is today! The things you do today will effect your outcome tomorrow. We just don't know HOW! So if you want a better tomorrow, start today! We can look back at yesterday... or look forward to tomorrow... but enjoy your TODAY... it's a gift... that's why we call it the present!

There's a great anonymous quote that says "A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty." I think this really is wonderful! I love that our kids like to spend time with us. I'll admit, my wife is the fun one. That might surprise some, since I'm a comedian, but my wife is WAY more fun! YES! She absolutely should be a stand up comic, but she's not a fan of public speaking. I brought her on stage at an event and I honestly thought she was going to vomit! I heard her tummy churning and saw FEAR in her eyes. We have not done that again! I love spending time as a family... listening to the stories our kids remember. Sometimes I remember them differently. It's all the same story, from a different perspective. I encourage you to try this with your family. See how differently you remember the same things!

Walt Whitman said "Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you." I love this. What a beautiful quote. It actually warms me up to think about this one. I can feel the sunshine on my face. I think MOST things are better when they're in the full light. So many times we see things in the news where we only see one side of it. There are so many shadows. Things that they're saying, but not really saying them. Why? Just shine the spotlight on this thing and let people see it all. They can make up their mind when they know the whole truth. When you only see one side and the rest lies in the shadows... you can't make a very good decision as to what to think. You only know part of the story. When I talk to someone who has strong feelings about a topic. I often find out quickly they only know one side of the issue!

Lao Tzu said "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." I love this. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a hurry to get through life... and I don't know why! I graduated early... I'm not sure why I did that. What was my hurry? Now I'm fifty and I look back at the many times I was in a hurry to get to the next thing. I plan to make some changes... to SAVOR the days you have with loved ones. Last month I went to a funeral. We lost a friend who was only 56, he was an amazing dude... he will be missed. Be sure to live life to the fullest while you can. We don't need to hurry to get to the next chapter... enjoy THIS chapter. Go out of your way to spend as much time with your friends and family as you possibly can. Go on a date... just because you CAN go on a date. Don't wait for Valentine's Day or your anniversary. Make plans to go today!
