Will it Matter in 5 Years?

I read this quote this week and it struck me as such a great reminder… "If it's not going to matter in five years, don't spend more than five minutes being upset by it."

We often get caught up in the little things that don’t matter and allow it to spoil our day. This is especially true with the ones we love the most. If it won’t matter in five years don’t let it get in the way of today.

Speaking of a good day…. This is the epitome of a good day. If you’re looking for a good lake in the pacific northwest, try Trillium Lake. About an hour outside Portland. Super awesome views of Mt. Hood, great food, and drink along the way and if you have time, you can catch a few waterfalls and a hike.

Things to read:

“The power of the other” -DR. Henry Cloud

This book is a good reminder that much of our success is driven by “others” in our lives. Who we choose to surround ourselves with and who pours into us. Its also a great reminder that we are that for others. Taking the time to pour into people around you can change lives.

“A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” -Zig Ziglar

Whom do you catch your energy or growth from? Who fuels you? Who shares knowledge, support, and creativity? Who do you do that for?

The power of the other creates exponential growth and high performance.
