So many of the best things in my life took me by surprise…
My relationship with my kids; it’s so unique and special with each of my girls.
My relationship with Julia; it’s something I thought was reserved for fairy tales.
My business; it’s taking off in a direction I never imagined at the start and I have the opportunity to really impact my medical profession.
But, that’s not to say that planning and goal setting doesn’t have its place.
I believe planning and goal setting moves you in a direction, and it’s that forward momentum that allows you to see these surprises that are the real magic.
Stay still and you probably won’t be surprised.
Move forward and the world opens up.
In arguments, we often want to be right. But being right is not the same as being wise.
One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we’re falling behind. That someone else is ahead.
As a young man I associated strength with force; louder voices, sharper opinions, firm lines in the sand.
There’s a strange kind of pride we’ve developed in being exhausted. But even lions, the king of the jungle, rest.
I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have ambition.
We sometimes believe strength means self-sufficiency — that being independent means being isolated.
We often try to outrun the storm, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
