Steve Martin has a bit where he talks about the value of building on your goal, starting out small and then building towards your big ass hairy goal, right?

So why the daily pep talk, Bill? What's all this positive nonsense? Look, between you and me, being negative wears me out. All the anger and the arguing and the negativity, it's just the stress, the worry, ugh, that it brings on, wearing me out. So I thought, let's combat it with some positivity.

I've always told my kids the secret to success is showing up. And you will find that many times it's easy to show up, but there are those days where you just don't feel it. And those are the days that it's really important to show up.

I help coach a high school cross country team and what we teach the kids is rather than always racing against the number one runner, especially when you're practicing, race against yourself. What are your goals for the year, for the season? Where do you want to see yourself? How do you want to improve? And then compare yourself and race against that.

Don't quit. Don't stop spinning. Keep making your mark. It's important because we need moons just like you to keep the tides in order, right? Even the moon getting bombarded, it keeps spinning around that sun, Thanks for stopping by and we'll see you next time.

The hardest part about finding success is trusting the process. It's easy to want to shift gears when things are taking too long. But sometimes you just have to trust the cosmos.

Our world has made it all the more challenging to be kind to those you're frustrated with. But it's important to always be kind to each other, be good to each other and continue to love on each other.
