If it’s 3:00 in the afternoon and your child has a soccer game, you better be at the soccer game. Because I’m sure at 9:00 that night, you are going to be responding to all the emails you missed. – Chuck Robbins, Cisco CEO

The Four 7’s – Keith Roberts
This exercise came from the lessons that hospice providers learned from their patients in the last days of their lives. When the time comes to transition out of this life, it isn’t the money we have accumulated, the car we drive, or the houses we live in. The Four 7’s will help you find that same clarity when you still have your entire life ahead of you.
I have a habit of investing myself too much into my kid’s activities (school or sports). So much so that it causes strain in our relationship. This leads to feelings of inadequacy or being judged. I need to do a better job of recognizing that not every thought which floats through my brain needs to be shared. – Dad #Family
Success is how you collect your minutes. You spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. If you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? It doesn’t equate… Life is made of small pleasures. Good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. A moment of touching a friend. Happiness is made of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. If you don’t have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don’t mean anything. – Norman Lear
