Character is the ability to carry out a worthy decision after the emotion of making that decision has passed.
Hyrum Smith
There’s a sense of accomplishment simply from announcing you are going to do something, like write a book. Announcing is a procrastinator’s miracle drug. Nothing has been accomplished but it feels like a big step has been made. Keep it to yourself and do the work first, then announce your results.

Culture is what you think and do without thinking.

Culture is habits.

The way you think is a habit. Habits drive your behaviors. Behaviors drive your reputation. Your reputation will bring you peace and contentment or misery and regret.

Randy was the guy behind the desk at Muffler Man on South Orange Blossom Trail. The manager, i would come to find out later. He checked me in, took the car keys, and invited me to get comfortable in the small waiting lobby.
As minutes turned to an hour-plus, i got up and walked around the lobby and examined the dozens of photos, displayed on a half-dozen poster frames. When i say examined, i started to discern that all these fishing trips and assorted deep-sea trophy fish photos were with the same fisherman.
The reason this was initially challenging is because i didn’t realize it was the same person. There seemed to be a couple decades of fishing trips and the main character looked different over the years, yet the same enough to eventually realize it was one person – the same person – in every picture.
And then the wow.
The guy in the photos is the guy who took my keys.
Excitedly, i approached the car repair shop counter and pronounced, “Dude, you love to fish!”
Randy said, nope, I love to catch. I don’t go fishing. I go catching.
