My dad passed away a few years ago and he liked to use the expression “a fool and his money are soon parted.” Thanks for reminding of my dad today and I hope you had a nice Christmas.

Thanks Larry. I really appreciate the little encouragements each day.

Thank you for all good words, wise encouragements and honest thoughts sharing. Your morning messages made a lot of my days, I am grateful and I thank you for that !
Merry Christmas Larry Janesky

Larry, thank you for all you do. Your daily messages inspire so many people to be the best version of themselves everyday.
Merry Christmas!
The best is yet to come.

Keep going, Larry. Another great year is in store for CN in 2020.

So very true! Merry Christmas to you and yours, Larry!

You are a absolute inspiration to many. I truly enjoy reading your posts. Happy holidays!

Larry, Merry Christmas. Thanks for your friendship and paying it forward with your blog.

Keep writing. I’m reading. 🙂

Merry Christmas

Thanks for giving me a new perspective!

Funny…. trying to get others to join our “ think daily” and no ones doing it! Hm….. I could be hanging with the wrong crowd????

Thanks Larry!!! This is so true. I enjoy other people but, I love the security of my own solitude. No one can replace my daughters who I last saw 15 years ago however, I can “be with them” in the joy and peace of my own solitude. No one can deprive me of that.

I guess that is why I appreciate riding bikes with good friends: once the helmet is on I’m back in the safely of my solitude. It is like pray: being thankful that I never experience the pain of loneliness, as I’m not alone.

Cheers,
Phil.

I do not comment on much because my voice is rarely heard. I will say this post hits home. How many times do we defend ourselves out of pride or when it is not even necessary? How many times are both parties saying the same thing in a different prospective yet meaning the same thing? So the question is how much do we care or love the other party? How much pride are we willing to swallow or how good of a listener are we to conciser the others feelings? I fall short no doubt. Does this mean I love any less than another? No. It means I need to Improve. Admitting this means nothing if I do not take action to improve myself. Thank you for your charismatic advice and I always look forward to your emails every day.

I was thinking about this just this morning! Schools have Physical Education (or at least they used to), they should also have Mental Education! Learning how to self regulate thoughts and emotions is equally if not more important.

“Don’t be a quitter” can be a trap. Sometimes it is necessary to quit something to move on to something better, or to something that is more suited to your passion, drive, and ambition. We need to give ourselves permission to try new things with no expectation that we are going to do them forever. We need to give ourselves permission to quit. As long as you have fulfill your obligations in an honorable manner, there is nothing wrong with quitting.
