One of the best opening lines of a song ... ever.  Appropriately, name of the band is "Yes"!
​“Words can inspire, thoughts can provoke, but only action truly brings you closer to your dreams.” Brad Sugars

Not acting is a choice.  Not making a decision, is a decision.  We are deciding to do things or choosing not to decide all day long.  When we choose to choose, we are being intentional and have more control of the outcome, than simply hoping that things work out for us.  “I’m not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.” Stephen Covey

The cure for sadness is not happiness!  Most people seek all sorts of ways to make them "happy" when they are "sad".  Most of those "ways" leave them unhappy and even more sad.  The solution to sadness is not happiness.  The solution to sadness is GRATITUDE.  When we are thankful for what we have, we spend less time seeing what we don't have.  And when we actually don't have anything, we truly see all that we had.  ​“The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.” Oscar Wilde

.. in another man's field".  This is the OG (Old Greek) of the more common saying "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence".  Both refer to the fact that EVERYONE seems to believe that the "unseen" or the "alternative" is better than what we currently have.  Different major, different job, different house, different spouse, different something must be better than what I already have.  Unfortunately, the one important aspect of this belief is that we may change majors or jobs or locations, but one common factor remains the same ... US.  “Very often, a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.’ ―A.C. Benson

At the end of the day, you can't do much about what occurred during your day other than reflect and evaluate and then hopefully make the next day better.  At the beginning of the day, you have the choice of setting yourself up for regret or setting yourself up for celebration.  ​“You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.” ―George Lorimer

Big things and little things?  If that is our perspective then we will always be little and never be as big as we can be.  There are no little things.  There are simply things we will do to be successful and things we think and feel that are not worth our time and effort and those are the things that keep us from reaching our full potential.  ​“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh

We all have favorites.  Favorite colors.  Favorite foods.  Favorite songs, movies, shows, people.  My favorite word is "intentionality".  I try to be intentional.  I feel it is important to be intentional.  I feel being prepared and planning ahead is better than simply allowing life to happen to you.  I love intentional people.  I surround myself with people who are intentional about how they live life. Intentional people are more likely to reach their full potential than people who are waiting for good to happen to them and then complain when it doesn't. ​“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” ―Michael Jordan
