Resending this email from a few years ago (and a day late)….

I’m secretly (not so secretly now that I type this) hoping that Cinco de Mayo becomes the next St. Patrick’s Day here in America.

A day when we can celebrate a different culture with food, drink, and hospitality.

A day when we enjoy the richness of another culture (and tacos), together.

America needs more together. Less apart.

Make it a great day.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. – Joseph Addison

Monday morning reminder – reading is good for you.

There’s so much to read.

So much room to learn and grow.

Not sure where to start?

Ask somebody who knows you for a suggestion.

Make it a great day.

Jake

PS – I’m always looking for good book suggestions – anybody have any?

I often try to remind myself to have grace and patience when working with others.

The kid in this video is inspirational, but I was really struck by the dad.

We all have something we’re struggling with. Wouldn’t you like to have that dad from the video helping you?

Giving you the tips and tricks and encouragement to get over the hump, whether it’s big or small.

We can do this for ourselves and those around us.

We can be full of that much patience and grace.

And we should be – there’s plenty of struggle in the world.

Maybe not so obvious as a physical handicap and a curb that seem insurmountable, but it’s there.

And we can help.

Make it a great day.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before. – Blaise Pascal

Love makes the world a better place by making us better people.

We become and do better through love for ourselves and those who matter most to us.

Our motivations run true when we focus on what love requires of us.

Fill your thoughts of others today with love.

Make it a great day.

Your life becomes meaningful in precise proportion to the depts of the responsibility you are willing to shoulder. – Jordan Peterson

We were built to seek out and find meaning in our lives. Some fall victim to trying to find it where it can’t be found: stuff, money, food, drugs, alcohol, etc.

Real meaning in our lives comes through the hard stuff: responsibility, love, relationship, humility, service, etc.

Where are you looking for meaning in your life?

What are you doing today to move closer to more and deeper meaning?

Make it a great day.

It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers. – James Thurber

Asking the right questions often helps us get on the right path.

Especially if we can look for the answers in the right places.

Some of my favorites:

What would a wise person do?

What does love require of me?

Has someone else figured this out already?

Who can I ask who knows more about this?

Make it a great day.

Jake

PS – What are some of your favorite questions?

When things aren’t adding up in your life, start subtracting.

Life is as much about what you say no to as it is what you say yes to.

They are two sides to the coin. Two parts to the math equation. Addition and subtraction.

We have been given the opportunity to continually add.

Add more stuff.

Add more to dos.

Add more friends on the FaceBox.

Add more square feet to our house.

At some point though things stop adding up.

We stop being happy with that new gadget.

We stop being satisfied with so many "likes" on our hilarious FaceBox post.

We start being irritated by the amount of stuff in all those square feet.

Simplify. Subtract until things start to add up. Remove clutter until you gain clarity.

Make it a point to get rid of something today.

Make it a great day.
