What would your +/- Ratio be? Are you bringing more to those around you when you are around, or are you taking away from their momentum, success and enjoyment?
What is Your +/- Ratio?
My Biggest Takeaway from the 2019 NFL Draft

Do you ‘Have To’ or do you ‘Get To’?
So much of the good and bad in life all comes down to how we choose to view it. Two people can experience the exact same event and have two completely different reactions.
