SELF-DISCIPLINE

Season three has been featured three sessions describing the way football coach Nick Saban runs the University of Alabama football program. It features a few coaches, players and sportscasters describing insights into the success the program has experienced. I think this is really good if you are a sports fan and will offer insights into how to lead things if you aren’t a sports fan. I recommend it. Here’s a nugget from the broadcast. ESPN

KEYS TO CONTENTMENT…

These keys to contentment always remain true: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbors. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real things of

HOW DO YOU IMPACT YOUR ENVIRONMENT?

“Don’t let osmosis determine your environment.” Heard this in a seminar today. Here’s how I heard it. The point is to remind us our environment will settle into whatever condition we let it settle into. If you don’t act to make it into something productive, it won’t be. So, how do you impact your environment? You say encouraging words. You suggest and strive for ways to make it better. You inspire others with your habits.

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THINGS, YOU USUALLY CAN

“The realist sees reality as concrete. The optimist sees reality as clay.” — Robert Brault “PalletOne leaders happen to the world” Here’s what I mean by this statement: We aren’t in charge of the circumstances we face. Stuff happens. Sometimes it is bad stuff. When stuff happens, we control what we think about it. We control what we do about it. So, that brings us to the quote:Do you see the circumstances you face as set

MONITOR WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF

We talk to ourselves and listen to ourselves more than we talk to anyone else. I was at a spiritual retreat recently that reminded me of that dynamic. The speaker described it. He used an old Indian story where a chieftain reminds one of his young warriors of the internal dialogue we maintain: “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two

WHAT MAKES WORK MEANINGFUL?

What makes work meaningful? Annie McKee wrote about this in the Harvard Business Review. She lists three factors: Purpose You know what’s expected of you. You know how and why your job makes a difference. You like what you do and what your company does. 2. Hope You believe that your job offers a future. You trust you have what you need to grow and improve. You believe the job is leading you to a

ARE YOU IN THE MIDST OF PURSUING A GOAL?

I never heard of Sgt. Jake Wood until I watched the ESPYs last night. Wood received the Pat Tillman Award for Service. Tillman was a successful pro athlete who retired to join the military in the wake of 911 and was killed in action. In honor of his heroism ESPN honors an outstanding athlete who had served the community. Wood, who was a four year letterman at the University of Wisconsin, also was inspired by

GOOD INTENTIONAL PLANNING AND ACTION REQUIRES A FULL RESERVE OF ENERGY

Heard this and haven’t researched it, but it’s an interesting idea: Our brain is the biggest energy-consuming organ in our body. Estimated usage is around 20% of the total energy consumed. Thus, our brain gets tired easy and prefers to take the easy way out anytime it can. So, left to its own resources, the brain will default to automatic paths and patterns we have established before. In essence, it takes energy to think. It

GROWING A BIT AT A TIME IS THE WAY TO WIN

“Don’t Look for the big quick improvement, seek the small improvement one day at a time.” Daniel Coyle Some people don’t start an improvement plan because it feels like too much. Feels too big. If you’re one of those people, I ask you to reconsider the quote above. Bit by bit. Day by day. It has a way of building up if you are improving just a little each day. Improvement plans usually start with

POSITIVE PLANT TOUR FEEDBACK ALWAYS WELCOME

One of the ways we get feedback is by opening our plants to visitors. I’ve heard about two this week: One was in Selma. A pallet company owner came to visit. He has 120 employees and ships 60 loads of pallets a week. A formidable pallet operation. It was his first visit to a PalletOne facility. I happened to be there as he completed the tour. As he began the tour, he said, “I’ve got

THE JUICE IS WORTH THE SQUEEZE

“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. I heard him describe his approach to the game and his development on a podcast called

HAPPENING TO THE WORLD – A SATISFYING WAY TO LIVE

PalletOne leaders “happen to the world.” What does that mean? A PalletOne leader is confident. Each situation creates an opportunity for service and contribution. We are talented and put those talents to work. We see those around us as having talent. We seek to unlock it. We realize that we can be called upon to take the initiative to improve things at any moment. We act when the situation calls for it. We inspire through

SUFFERING AND CHALLENGES

“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. In specific order, Keller gave us seven verbs to consider when challenged: Weep – It’s
