If a book is bad, stop reading it. If it’s good, read it twice. Great readers quit books they don’t like, hop around ones they do, and reread a few gems yearly.
2.
There’s a principle in Christianity that I like, which basically says that we never own anything.
All that exists is a loan from God. Everything was God’s property before we arrived and will be returned to him after we die.
I like this because it puts better into perspective the concept of ownership. Getting more isn’t the point. Being more useful and enjoying more of what we have during our short time on this earth is the point. Which, in turn, frees us from the burden of ownership.
Health
1.
Overrated:
Working out to look good.
Underrated:
Working out for better brain health, improved focus, 'all-day' energy, decreased cancer risk, weight management, stress reduction, and to set the right example for the people that you love.
Relationships
1.
Do not be passive building relationships with your neighbors. Do not let it finish with a quick chat about the weather while your kids play at the park or a sheepish smile while you rake leaves. Invite them for dinner. Throw a few extra hamburgers on the grill this Wednesday.
2.
When you set your phone down at the table, it sends a psychological message that the people you are with are not the most important people to you right now. Flipping it upside down is not more polite. Keep it in your pocket and put it on airplane mode to take away the temptation of knowing there’s a message when you hear or feel a vibration. Or, better still, put it in your bag out of sight.

QuickCoach - The Best App for Trainers on the Market
Been using it for my own workouts lately.
And wow. Just wow.
QC is so simple to use as a coach, and so slick to use as a client.
Clients can easily:
- Track their progress
- View Exercise history
- Watch quick instructional videos
- And more.
Most of all, I love how the app isn't bogged down with extra features nobody needs but you, as a coach, have to pay for and the client has to sift through.
QuickCoach is for trainers working both in-person and online.
If you're looking for an app to use, sign up here.
If you used QuickCoach a while ago and stopped using it, I encourage you to check it out again. It keeps getting better, slicker, and easier to use.

Psst: And we have a full workout library complete with videos and exercise descriptions coming soon 😉
