How many times do we judge ourselves harsher than we judge others that we love. Would you ever turn to your child and say: "You should look in the mirror ... you're really ugly!" Or tell your your mother: "No wonder no-one loves you ... you're overweight!" Or, tell your sister: "It's obvious why he broke up with you ... you don't deserve to be loved." If you would ... you're probably a pretty twisted person.

So, if we agree you most likely wouldn't say these things to those that you love, then WHY IS IT OK TO SAY IT TO YOURSELF?

Love yourself first ... and be kind to yourself first! It's the least you can do for yourself!

I'd love to know who your team is? And, who do you think will win the Championship this year?

Whoever you support, enjoy the game!

Take a moment to reflect on what "winning" means and what it takes if you want your own business to be successful!

I've been listening to this podcast over the last couple of months. I'm not gaining anything from sharing this other than sharing info that I think we can all benefit from.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-tiny-shift-makes-a-big-difference/id1033048640?i=1000581898682

It's the small tweaks in mindset that I feel make the difference. Before being laid off, with my position being eliminated, I was saying: "I have to go to work today." After 3 months of not being employed, and joining a great new company, I'm saying: "I GET to go to work today!"

Thanks for sharing what you share! I recommend Rob Dial's podcast.

Did someone say: "National Dessert Day"?!?! YES!!! Did you know that today is that special day?

Did you know that in 2019, American's spent over $6B on ice-cream?

Did you know that I have a simple ice-cream recipe that makes everyone coming back for more and asking for it for every special occasion?

Follow me, and message me, and I'll send it onto you.

Italy is on my bucket-list! I stumbled across this YouTube clip and thought I'd share it with you.

https://youtu.be/zS4AP0Q8L8g

WOW!!! More stunning than I even knew!

So, it got me thinking ... what would it take to experience all these beautiful places? And the simple answer is ... FREEDOM!

FREEDOM to do what I want, with whom I want, and when I want.

I want to pursue that FREEDOM! Don't you?

Italy is easily one of the most incredible countries in the world! Enjoy this 4K travel guide across Italy. From the dreamy Amalfi Coast, to the jagged moun...

Thursday night football! Reminds me about the power of a coach. Who has been the best coach in your life, and why?

Note: This is not a debate about who the best coach is ... it's an interest question ... asking who has been the best coach in your life. So, refrain from comments on other's post and just absorb. You might learn something.

From the mouth of the world's richest man:

"Be useful"

"If you want the future to be good, you must make it so"

"Take action to make it good and it will be"

https://youtu.be/SLqtdaOblZ0

It all seems so simple ... I guess simplicity generates a net worth of $219.8B! Yes ... that's a "B"!

Btw ... I'm claiming just a little bit of similarity with Mr. Musk! We both grew up in South Africa! I'm just missing a few zeros to my name ... for now! 😂

I had a discussion with a new work colleague yesterday. I learned (or more likely was reminded of) a few things from this discussion:
1) Listening to people is more powerful than talking to people. When we listen, we learn. When we talk, we project things that we already know (or think we know).
2) We naturally think that because we like something done a certain way, that this is the best way to do things. We close ourselves off to alternative ways of doing things because they may not feel natural to us. Learning new ways of doing things, and being open to trying something new, often times creates a different, and better result.
3) Never underestimate the power of being vulnerable, personable and real with those that you serve. As a result of my discussion today, I know that I have someone who trusts me 10 times more than they did when they met met 3 weeks ago.

Just sharing this as a snippet to reflect on. I'll put this into a more composed message in the future.

Have a great day Friends!
