“You only get to live once, but if you do it right once is enough.”

I read this statement by Jim Rohn and thought it was a profound life lesson. He said, “Here’s what my parents taught me. Don’t miss anything. Don’t miss the game. Don’t miss the performance, don’t miss the movie, don’t miss the show, don’t miss the dance. Go to everything you possibly can. Buy a ticket to everything you possibly can. Go see everything and experience all you possibly can”

What a great lesson! Too often we get caught up in our day-to-day grind that we miss out on so much of life! My encouragement to you today is simple: Don’t Miss Anything!

“Don’t settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had. We need to live the best that’s in us.” ~Angela Bassett

I was having lunch with a friend the other day and we were talking about leadership. I was telling him that I love growing, but my biggest fear is that one day I’ll be capped. One day, I’ll be labeled of going as far as I could go. That thought is always in the back of my mind.

My friend paused for a moment, looked into my eyes, and said, “Bubba, I think deep down inside everyone knows whether or not they are growing to their maximum potential.”

“Happiness is not an accident.
Nor is it something you wish for.
Happiness is something you design.”
~Jim Rohn

In this months edition of Success Magazine, the focus was on happiness. The magazine included an audio lesson from Jim Rohn on happiness. I’ve written about how to be happy all the time before, but Jim put it in a way that I absolutely loved.

He said, “Happiness is not by chance, happiness is a choice. Happiness is not on accident, happiness is on purpose!”
