Failure is never fatal. It may feel like it for a while, but it is only a challenge. Keeping athletics in the proper perspective for our children helps them keep their problems in perspective.

Why do you want your son or daughter to participate in sports? • What do you want your child to become outside of sport? • How much value do you place on academics? • How often do we discuss winning and expectations as opposed to the effort?

Doing our work to the best of our ability, with the highest quality and deepest integrity, gets us into contention.

The only way to build wealth is to have a gap between your ego and your income.

Here it is by steps: 1. A “No”-oriented email question to reinitiate contact: “Have you given up on settling this amicably?” 2. A statement that leaves only the answer of “That’s right” to form a dynamic of agreement: “It seems that you feel my bill is not justified.”

By our effort to discover the origin of things we confess our belief that everything was made by Someone who was made of none.

In the simplest terms, it’s easier to do nothing than it is to do something. And we as individuals always seek the path of least resistance. Our mind wants us to do the least possible work in order to achieve the greatest possible outcome.

We can operate much better as parents when we know what it is that they want. Then we can ask, “Permission to hold you accountable and support your commitment?”
