MARY: Dirty Dogs, Nolan Ryan’s

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bone-A-Thon 5/26

COT: QIC just got a puppy. Immediate observation is that dogs are very similar to little kids. No matter how loud you yell at them, they’re still probably going to sh*t on the kitchen floor and not do any of the things you ask them to do….unless maybe you give them something. The other similarity is the unconditional love. This may manifest itself in different forms, but you know it’s there.

Lumbergh reminded us of a 3rd F opportunity to volunteer to help the Cub Scouts move some mulch around. He will be providing more details in the channel.

COT:

There is no amount of money, love, or success that will permanently erase your insecurity or self-doubt—instead, it will just give it bigger stakes. You don’t remove self-doubt. You learn to act despite it.

Do you doubt yourself? Good.
There’s only one way to find out if your doubts are true—do it anyway.

Mark Manson

COT:
Suggest reading The Wisdom of the Bullfrog, Admiral William McCraven. Chapter that stuck in my head, Hope is not a Strategy. As leaders we must provide Hope to our followers. However, when it comes to vision, planning and strategy, a leader must do the work to set mini milestones to achieve outcome. Hope cannot be your strategy for success.
