Notice how I didn't say "Make things better than you found them"... It's because all you can control is your effort and your action. We can form the habit of using our touch to add value in the moment, and slowly but surely the world will become a better place.

Remember the 24 hour rule? Don't take action on an emotion for 24 hours, just to make sure you don't do something out of place. The rule was designed for negative emotions, but it's a good practice to do the same for really positive emotions.

Have a killer weekend!

We don't get to control certain realities of life. But we do get to control what we choose to do with those realities we are handed. As Tony Robbins puts it, "It's not a matter of resources. It's a matter of resourcefulness."

Our perception of how things are depends on the lens through which we see it. Two different understandings of the same concept can both be right!

Featuring our most recent Self Improvement Sit Down guest, Brant Pinvidic talks about how old-school sales techniques are out of place today. But if we  present the information in a clear and simple way, we can lead our targets to their buying decision without ever selling them on the idea.

Hoping it's a habit I can continue! Be grateful for the health, comfort, freedom, people, and opportunity in your life.

It's important to be grateful for the things you have at present, but it's also important to be grateful and mindful of the things that are yet to happen! It's what makes like worth living.

I am grateful for the roof over my head, the water in my faucet, and the clothes on my back. A lot of people don't get to enjoy those comforts in their lives.

Instead of cramming all of our gratitude into a day, let's at least stretch it out for a week! Use #2468 (who do we appreciate) to share instances when YOU feel grateful!

And a great week it was! Spread some love this weekend.
