"don't be caught complaining, even to yourself"

You can’t control other people. You can control how you react to them.

I ran a call center for 16 years for a human resources organization of a Fortune 500 company. For much of that time, all we received was calls from employees and retirees who were angry with the company. They were undergoing layoffs, downsizing, salary freezes, mergers and the like. If I hadn’t understood this fact, I would have surely lost it at some point. Most of the angry people were just scared.

Rather than reacting to their anger with frustration, I tried to be a source of kindness to them. Many just broke down when they realized I was sympathetic to their situation and wasn’t just going to dismiss their anger. What could have been an awful job became a ministry.

Reframe the chores of life ("have to do's") as opportunities ("get to do's). I get to go to work. Not everyone gets to go to work.

I love this video. You provide not just the thoughtful, longer videos and writing, but also even a short like this which still adds value. I don't know honestly how you manage to fit it all in, but I'm so grateful that you do.

if you don't have good health, life is no fun, that's why do something for it every day.

Be decent to YOURSELF, and OTHERS. If you are decent to yourself, you respect your passions and goals. If you are decent to others, you are doing your best to function in your community.
