COT:
I’m going to my daughter’s marching band halftime show at Virginia Tech November 22nd. She told me Saturday that they’ll be playing Britney Spears songs. Since then I’ve had her songs as ear worms, and I have to be deliberate about replacing those songs with something I’d rather think about. It takes deliberate and thoughtful choices to achieve the next level of success. Take control of your thoughts and actions!
