Service and My Mom’s Motorcycle (post by Kirk Weisler)
Almost immediately after watching a short video titled “My Mom’s Motorcycle” and considering whether I should share it here… I read this post by the great IT folks at St. Vrain Valley Schools… which closed the deal! Thank you St. Vrains and Johann Stossell
Quote: “The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not ‘to have and to hold’ but ‘to give and serve.’ There can be no other meaning.” ~Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell
Question: With one word, describe how you feel after ‘giving and serving’
My answer… WONDERFUL

Just Focus Left (post by Kirk Weisler)
If nothing ever goes right, go left. Because if nothing is right, what’s left is where everything is. Enjoy it. ~ Thomas Cantrell 2014
Love it Tom… I will focus left!

Because Your Words Can Reign Over You (post by Kirk Weisler)
To know how to say what others only know how to think is what makes men poets or sages; and to dare to say what others only dare to think is what makes men martyrs or reformers — or both. — Elizabeth Charles (1828-96) British Writer
If you are not sure what to say – or cannot think of a kind or thoughtful way to express yourself….then remaining silent is the course of wisdom. (Especially when in a difficult or frustrating situation).
There are certainly times when I wish I had said something. But there are “WAY MORE” times when I wish I had remained silent and said nothing. I would rather reign over and rule my words than be ruled by them or spend valuable time and personal currency trying to reign them back in.

On Fixing, Worry and Respect (post by Kirk Weisler)
The Big idea – Worry is a wast of time!
We can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs. — Francois Fenelon (1651-1715) French Roman Catholic Theologian
Want to do more for the team? Then stop trying to fix them…. and start strengthening and improving yourself. Your example will most often be a stronger and more inspiring invitation for them to change and grow than your feedback ever would be.
Treating yourself with respect is a very big idea. Respect your body enough to take care of it with proper nutrition and rest. Respect your time enough to say NO to the many little things so you can say YES to the more important ones. Respect your relationships enough to nurture them. Respect your own need to grow spiritually, emotionally and intellectually that you make growth a regular part of your life (aka a habit).
We don’t need to demand respect nearly as much as we need to give it to others and create it for ourselves.
Have an amazing day – meaning, Create One for Yourself and Others.

Getting a Divorce
An elderly man in Oklahoma calls his son in New York and says, “I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 45 years of marriage… and that much misery is enough!” “Dad, what are you talking about?” the son yells. “We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the old dad explained. “We’re sick of each other, and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!”. Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. “Like heck they’re getting divorced,” she shouts, “I’ll take care of this.” She calls her elderly father immediately, and screams at him, “You are not getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, you hear me?” she yelled as she hung up the phone. The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. “Okay”, he says, “it’s all set. They’re both coming for Christmas and paying their own air-fare.”
