Here is something you may not know about me. From time to time, I officiate weddings. I perform the service. I marry people. One of the staples of the weddings I participate in is reading a Bible passage (1 Corinthians, Chapter 13) which begins love is patient, love is kind. The point I like to underscore is that when it comes to relationship love is action rather than feeling. How do you act patient? I
I heard a great talk by Rick Warren on becoming a person of integrity. He said there are practices of a high character individual: 1. Keep promises-Be on time. Do what you say you will do. Every time. 2. Pay your bills-Live within your means. When you owe something, make it a priority to pay it off. 3. Refuse to gossip-Don’t speak about others in their absence. Don’t participate when others do it. 4. Do
“There are only two days of the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday. The other is called tomorrow. So today is the perfect day to love, believe, do and mostly live.” Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhist holy man. Hard to add much to this thought. Argues for intention. Argues against procrastination. Is there something you need to do? Want to do? Why not get started. Making each day count by improving in
“Lean’ is about making progress. You identify an area where waste is occurring or that can be improved. You decide that you want to improve it. How do you get started. Teresa Amabile wrote a book called “The Progress Principle.” She says there are seven catalysts of creating momentum: 1. Set a goal. Having a target to aim to achieve has a way of making the team pay collective attention. 2. Allow autonomy. People
“Character accelerates the growth of talent.” – Tom Coughlin Coughlin is a Super Bowl winning football coach of the National Football League’s New York Giants. Like most coaches, he prefers his players are gifted with physical ability and the high character to get the most out of it. People of high character realize that talent is an ingredient not the finished dish. Certainly, we are blessed with different levels of skill and talent. Whatever our
Dr. Henry Cloud, one of my favorite authors, says this: “Think of your past for learning, or to feel gratitude. Never for punishment. ….of you or anyone else.” Do you beat yourself up for what you should or could of done and didn’t? Do you carry around mistakes you’ve made longer than you should? Are there negative experiences which now define what you will do in the future? Are there people whose past actions cause
I had the opportunity to hear Pat Croce speak a few weeks ago. If you don’t know him, he’s an entrepreneur whose made several fortunes as a physical therapist, an owner of a National Basketball Association team and curator of the Pirate Museum in St Augustine, Florida. Reviewing my notes on how he achieved such diverse tracks, a couple of characteristics pop out. One is something I refer to as self-nomination. If there is something
I read an article about Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steeler football coach Chuck Noll written by Sports Illustrated’s Tim Layden. Noll passed away last week. In the 1970’s, Noll’s Steelers won four Super Bowls. His four wins remains the best any NFL coach has achieved. Noll never drew much attention to himself. His team was loaded with Hall of Fame players he drafted and coached. Unlike these days where you can see NFL football 24/7
“It’s amazing how someone’s IQ seems to double when you give them responsibility and indicate that you trust them.”-Tim Ferris I’ve seen this happen time after time. Some emergency or circumstance will occur requiring a leader to be away for a while. Teammates not usually called upon rally. They pick up responsibilities. They take on accountability. Things get done. Sometime better than normal. It underscores the fact: we all have more in us than we
I watched a television show about how higher order animals (dolphins, chimps, elephants) evolve and work together. Though my wife says my nine pound poodle is smarter than we are, the conventional wisdom is that humans are unique because of their ability to reason, adapt, create and imagine. Because of those capabilities, we do extraordinary things such as sacrifice, delay gratification and cooperate. So, the theory is that those human capabilities aren’t available in other

“Everything you want is on the other side of ‘hard’.” – CJ McCollum, NBA player McCollum is a story of overachievement. He was undersized. Played college basketball at a non-descript school. Was a long shot to be an NBA player but worked his way to being a first-round draft pick and was a solid star in his 10th year in the league.

“Weep, trust, pray, think, shift, hope, grow. Ways to handle suffering.” – Tim Keller Tim Keller was a preacher from New York City. He passed away in 2023. I followed him on Twitter because he tweeted profound thoughts like the one above. You don’t exit life without tough things happening to you. It’s a fact. None of us are exempt.
