My Riffs

To perform at a high level consistently you have to be doing a whole lot of smaller, low level tasks to sustain a high level of function.  The better you get at the small things, the better your support base. Master the simple but important tasks. Even the ones that aren’t exactly fun. But if they support your goals they’re vitally important. 

If you can do something with joy, it gets a whole lot better. If you’re miserable it’s absolutely torturous.  Do things that you can do with joy. If you hate something it makes it so much more difficult to do. 

Strengthen what remains.   What you have, make the best of. 

The best way to rebuild is in love.  If something is in disrepair, it’s lacked love.  Rebuild with love. 

Influence is to be used for good.  If you’re under someone else’s influence and it’s bad, leave.  Only surround yourself with good influences. 

There's something to be thankful for all the time. Losing sight of all the blessings and miracles in our life leads to bad places. The more we focus on the good the better we are; from a cellular level, manifest to the biggest areas of our life.

Stabilize and you will be able to do more.  It’s hard to accomplish something from an unstable base. 

A friend told me today, you can be right but completely wrong at the same time.  We can be factually correct but completely out of line and our hearts wrong. Which completely undoes being right.   So to be right, you have to be right inside. 

Things can change fast.  Hold on to hope. 

Whatever your New Year’s resolution may be, it has to be sustainable.  Our goals and resolutions have to stretch us, but they also have to be sustainable. 

It’s a new year.  Wishing everyone the absolute best 2026!
