Leadership Thought #352 – What I Learned From My Mom

We only have one mother. Never forget that without her, we wouldn’t be here. She sacrificed and gave up many things to raise and support you. She was not perfect (no one is), but I am sure she tried her best. She brought you into this world, took care of you, and made sure you could find your way. She imparted the most significant gift of all—the ability to love and receive love.

Daily Leadership Thought #194 – Children Are a Source of Growth and Inspiration

I’ve always believed that children are a gift from God or whatever higher power you choose to believe in. They are here to teach us as much as we are here to guide them. Sometimes it’s like looking in a mirror and seeing yourself being reflected back through their actions, attitudes, etc. In other cases, you gain entry into the wondrous world of their own individuality. My hope has always been that they will take the best from their mother and me and leave our flaws behind for us to grapple with on our own.

Daily Leadership Thought #189 – Family Connections Matter

Everyone’s life follows a similar trajectory, and it’s comforting to know that you can share these experiences (good or bad) with others who genuinely care. I encourage you to fight the narrowing of your social circle, especially when it comes to your family and close friends. It may not always be easy and will require some sacrifice on your end, but it will be worth it in the end.

What My Dog Taught Me

I have only ever really been a “dog” person when it comes to pets. They are a unique animal that enhances our positive traits and imparts valuable life lessons. There are three things that “Buddy” and his predecessors have taught me: 1) the power of unconditional love; 2) the importance of loyalty and trust in our relationships; and 3) managing the inevitability of grief and loss in life.

Happy Holidays 2010!

I sincerely hope your homes are filled with love, friendship and joy this holiday season.
