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...
Are you so focused on the setback that you can’t see the opportunity for a comeback?
How many times have you put too many eggs (hopes, dreams, plans) into one basket only to find the basket had a hole in it? I know that has happened to me more times than I care to count. It happens to all of us. The Colonel said, “Reset your nose and get back in the...
Are You Afraid to Shake Things Up?
The Colonel said, “Don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit, kid – even if it’s just in a small way. You don’t have to change the world, but work to change the world around you.” https://vimeo.com/1192717349?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci When I was in junior high...
Do You Only See Your Own Warts?
Are you overly hard on yourself? Most of us are. We tend to be our own worst critics, because all we tend to focus on is our shortcomings – our warts, so to speak. The Colonel said. "You have to have a purpose that drives you forward, something you really believe in....
