Do You Always Do The Right Thing? Even If No One Would Know?
Dad often said, “Unless you’re on the battlefield, no one is ever going to give you a medal for doing what is right. That doesn’t mean you should stop doing what is right. Every decision has consequences.” https://vimeo.com/1204363763?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci My...
Are You Only Focused On Yourself, Or Do You Take The Time To Show Others How Important They Are?
The Colonel said, “If you focus on being a mirror to someone, showing them how wonderful they are, their mirror will inevitably turn back toward you.” https://vimeo.com/1204361971?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Some people are drawn naturally to the spotlight. Others...
Do You Speak Before You Think?
The Colonel said, “Activate your brain before you engage your mouth, kid. You will never know who your words are influencing.” I can’t even REMEMBER the first time Dad said that to me; he said it so often. https://vimeo.com/1204356240?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci I...
Why are you waiting for something big to do? Every Action Matters, Even Small Ones.
I’ve not told this story before, so bear with me if it’s a little longer than usual. The Colonel often said, “Every action matters. Like a small pebble makes a ripple, even a very small action can have huge significance.”...
Do You Take Yourself Too Seriously?
The Colonel said, “Don’t take yourself too seriously, kiddo. Truth is, if you take yourself too seriously, no one else will.” https://vimeo.com/1204267905?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci In his time, my father was quite influential in the research and development of...
Do You Consistently See Obstacles or Opportunities?
Ya know those times when you feel like there is a wall or boulder in front of everything you are trying to do? Yeah, me too. https://vimeo.com/1197523726?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Everyone encounters obstacles in their lives. But, here’s the thing - It’s the...
Is Your Attitude Holding You Back?
While I think it was Zig Ziglar who first said, “Your attitude determines your altitude,” The Colonel was the first person I ever heard it from, and for 40 years of my life, I thought it was entirely his wisdom. Regardless of who said it first, it is a certainty. And,...
Are You Willing To Make A Bad Situation Better?
The Colonel said, “If you can’t see the bright side of a situation, don’t give up, kiddo. Start polishing the dull side.” https://vimeo.com/1197507300?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci There is a beautiful quote from A.A. Milne’s book Winnie the Pooh. It is often used or...
Are You Choosing To Be Happy? Or Are You Making A Different Choice?
When I was growing up, we moved a lot. (No really, a lot.) Every few years, The Colonel got new orders, and we packed up the house, moved to a new station, and started over. Military children are like chips on a stream, going where the military tells them to when they...
