Exhaust All Possibilities

Trying is useless. Unless you’re willing to exhaust all possibilities.

When I hear someone say they’ll try, I usually don’t hold out much hope. I will though, if they are the type of person who will exhaust all possibilities before they conclude that they have tried and failed.

Too many people think trying is thinking about getting something done, if they have any spare time. They make a half-hearted effort with no consequences for failure. Don’t live like that.

Exhaust all possibilities. There is no try.

Stay In Touch

Keep friends in your life. Stay in touch. Sometimes this can be a few times a year and for others it may be more frequently. Either way, a quick text here and a brief call there all add up to a stronger relationship as the years go by.

Decide To Be In Awe

Decide to be in awe of the world around us. As I look around the room, I am grateful for all of the people who conceived of all the products I can see.

In addition, I am grateful for all of the people, I will never know or meet, who financed these products through R&D and manufacture. And finally, I’m grateful to all of the people who worked in the companies, the supply chains, and the delivery units, that enabled these products to surround me in this room.

Sure, I went out and bought these items, so the effort doesn’t seem that incredible. However, the whole idea of each one of these products began years before I decided it was a product I needed and was willing to spend my hard earned money on.

Just think about all the sourcing of the raw materials that went into a plug, a lamp, a painting, a wood carving, a table, a ceiling fan, bedsheets, and a pen.

When you stop and think about all of this, it is really hard not to be in awe of the world we live in.
