We can’t have awesome days every day.
It would be nice if we could, but that’s not something I can promise.

When you get to heaven, you won’t be holding a grudge against anyone.
It won’t matter that you were treated badly by your boss.

You know how you should be treating your loved ones.
You know how you should discipline your kids.

When your business is extremely busy, that’s not the time to cave in under the pressure, that’s the time to step up.
When you’re behind on a deadline, that’s not the time to make excuses, that’s the time to step up.
When your team is behind late in the last quarter, that’s not the time to give up, that’s the time to step up.
That first draft that you wrote, that you quickly tore up in embarrassment.
That first speech you ever gave, when you stuttered and shook and didn’t look up once.
That first sales call, when you felt incredibly awkward and was hung up on.
That first attempt at cooking, when you burnt the toast and ended up eating out.
