COT: Gratitude for Major Payne, who has not been gone a week at this point, You can read this in the Q-Source–you do not need to die to have a legacy. Legacy is your leadership influence whenever and however you have left. Major Payne’s legacy is here in the Capital Region, and, as he said, one of the many great things about F3 is the opportunity for leadership. We will be looking to PAX to step up to help fill the gap we now have with Major Payne moving to Florida. SYITG!

COT:
A couple different quotes from Tony Robbins on recent Theo Von Podcast:

“People don’t experience life, they experience life they focus on. Right now if you are happy, you are deleting all things that piss you off or frustrated about or worried about in the world. If you are unhappy, you are deleting the things that are great in your life. And our brains, they delete and they distort and they generalize. What’s wrong is always available, what right is always available, pick.”

“The path of least resistance does not make you happy. You have to push yourself… Self-esteem, esteem for yourself is earned by you doing something difficult for you. When you do something incredibly hard and push through it, your brain starts to have inner pride, not fake ego pride… What makes people happy is progress.”
