Everyday Wisdom Extracted From Life’s Lessons
Small moments. Big insights. One mindshift at a time.
Everyday life is full of lessons - if you know where to look. Greg extracts a bit of everyday wisdom from his previous weeks experiences, conversations and unexpected moments, compiling them in a weekly letter that appears in your inbox Sunday morning at 5am.
You’ll be entertained, challenged, have a few new thoughts and smile. Honestly, you’ll love it. (Scroll down to sign up for it).
Possibility-to-Responsibility Gap
Wide open possibilities. Real and present responsibilities. Both true at the same time.
Joy of Pain
A tiny turtle on the trail. Twenty yards from the lake. Just making his way.
In the past I would have picked him up and carried him to the water. This time I knelt down, told him he had a long walk ahead, and wished him an adventurous journey.
What that little guy didn't know, that has taken me over 50 years to genuinely grasp, is that the lake is not the goal. It's the getting there. The trail is where the richness of life actually lives.
We convince ourselves that reaching the lake will finally bring the joy, the exhale, the delight we've been after. But it's available right now. On the trail. In the tension. In the hard thing we're walking through today.
What if the thing you considered a hardship, you found a reason to be genuinely thankful for? Not just the outcome. The thing itself.

The Journey of McDonald's Refreshers
End results are amazing. And they are wildly deceptive.
Pursuing them rarely produces them. The real magic lives behind the scenes. The daily, consistent, persistent pursuit of excellence in every relationship, every conversation, every piece of work. That's what produces a natural outcome. Attempting to get there while bypassing the discipline is a hollow offering.
What visuals would encapsulate the daily effort you're putting forth to move your vision forward?
What if you exerted all your energy toward designing daily practices that simply produce excellence of character?

Get a Dog
We give dogs unlimited grace. A destroyed couch, a soft voice, and we move on. We interpret every sound they make as something good, automatically, without thinking.
Then a coworker has one bad moment and we hold a grudge for three weeks.
The difference isn't the behavior. It's the interpreter. With pets, the positive lens snaps into place on its own. With people, it's a choice we rarely make.
What if we made it anyway?
What if you assumed the best and responded as your best, even when the human in front of you isn't doing theirs?

See More Good
Sowing seeds of goodness into others’ lives benefits ours. Our brains rewire to see more good as we positively impute others' intentions.
Words, Words, Words.
Words, Words, Words…measuring the depth and expanse of their abilities to translate the happenings of life, work, and the world.
Three Factors of Peace
The power of preparedness is something. The peace and assurance that comes from knowing that regardless… Read on.
The Currency of Trust
Currency is both a valued denominator and an energy source. Such is true of Trust as well. Read more…
You have no idea how badly I needed this exact message this morning! What perfect timing! I read every letter you write, but this one hit me square in the face.
