New Year Inspiration

Our CEO here at Tolleson Wealth Management sent out this email this morning. After reading it a few times, I realized that these 10 distinctions should be the way we live our lives. Take a moment to read them over and then post them by your desk. Make an effort this year to be a winner and not a whiner.

The Top 10 Distinctions Between Winners and Whiners

10.      Winners take responsibility. Whiners play the victim.

9.        Winners can have what they want. Whiners want what they can’t have.

8.        Winners find a way. Whiners find an excuse.

7.        Winners brighten a room by entering. Whiners brighten a room by leaving.

6.        Winners listen twice as much as they talk. Whiners talk twice as much as they listen.

5.        Winners enjoy life’s journeys. Whiners put their joy in destinations.

4.        Winners build friendships. Whiners destroy friendships.

3.        Winners think big. Whiners think small.

2.        Winners are focus-minded. Whiners are scatterbrained.

1.        Winners create positive meanings. Whiners create negative meanings.

An American Icon

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

Today's Inspiration

Oh sweet sunrise

I welcome the sun,

the clouds and rain,

the wind that sweeps the sky clean

and lets the sun shine again.

this is the most magnificent life has ever been.

here is heaven and earth

and the brilliant sky in between.

blessed is this life

and I'm gonna celebrate being alive.

blessed is this life

and I'm gonna celebrate being alive

I dwell in the darkness

I live in the light

I sleep in the afternoon

and become the noise in the night

I trespass in temptation

suffered in sacrifice

but I awake each day with a new sunrise

Blessed - Brett Dennen
