To raise grateful kids, be grateful for your kids.

– Janice Kaplan (The Gratitude Diaries)

Asking for help is a superpower anyone can have but only some people use. It is brave to ask for help. Asking for help is the first step toward finding a mentor. Mentors can help us change our lives if we let them." — Alexi Pappas

Being happy with what you have doesn't prevent you from pursuing what you want.”

Keep the goal. Change your mind about how to reach it.

Knowing virtues is like having a map; adopting them is actually taking the journey."

The outcome isn’t the problem. It’s the structure that creates it that needs fixing. If you have a leak in your home, the puddle on the ground isn’t the problem. The problem is two or three levels above that

There are different types of hard work: 1. Outthinking (a better strategy, a shortcut) 2. Pure Effort (working longer, intensity) 3. Opportunistic (positioning yourself to take advantage of change) 4. Consistency (doing average things for longer) 5. Focus (saying no to distractions) Each of these requires a different type of hard work

The difference between average results and exceptional if often found in what you don't do. Everyone can say yes to great opportunities but only a focused person will say no to average ones. You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.”
