Dear Son, great review in the car this morning…

Dear Son, so awesome to have you home after your eight-day middle school trip to New York City.

On the list below, the first characteristic we’ve been talking about since you could talk.

The second one has been on the radar for only two weeks (pre-trip conversations).

Three and four introduced in the car going to school this morning.

  1. Honesty
  2. Behave admirably
  3. Self control
  4. Personal responsibility

Three and four deliver one and two.

You are ready for all of them now.

Your life will rise or fall on these.

It is the same for every human.

couldn’t keep my “real job” a secret even if my life depended on it

Hey Internet, aren’t you a funny little monkey? My friend from Texas often uses this phrase when something or someone leans on the annoying side of life. I’ve purposefully never come right out and said what I do 60+ hours a week – you know, that career thing some people spend their lives doing.

Fact is, I can’t keep what I do and who I do it for a secret, even if my life depended on it.

How to tell if you’re the same person at work as you are at home

love your job
love what you do and do what you love

Here’s how I tell if I’m the same person at work as I am at home. This may work for you too. Ask a simple question. How far apart is the way I behave at home from the way I behave at work?

The more you love your job, the more you are the same person. The less you love your job, the more noticeable the difference in the way you feel when you’re at home.
