Too often we chase things that other people think we should do, have, or be. Many people become addicted with and self-identified with things that come from consensus. Social media is a great tool to live this way.
But if you live like this, one day you will start to feel like your ladder was up against the wrong wall; that you’ve been living to make others think you were cool or successful, and ignoring what YOU think.
Happiness and fulfillment are great achievements.
Not a hedonistic pleasure kind of happiness – but a knowing that you are being a good person, using a fair measure of your potential, acting with good character towards others, and being true to yourself while you do it.
What do you really think of you?
Great content, Larry! I appreciate the daily mental reset.
Good morning Larry. Today I am thankful for you and for the gifts you’ve been blessed with to be able to share these great pieces of information.
That is true and be the best you that you can be
Couldn’t agree more. The founding fathers (Franklin and Adams especially) will tell you that the pursuit of happiness is not about ‘feeling good’, it’s about the constant pursuit of virtue. Of living life in a way that helps those around you as well as yourself.
hi!!! Great thought today. Wonderful.
Needed to hear those words.
Good morning Larry, appreciate you and these daily messages.
The World and its media are at lightning pace. Sometimes we need to slow down, and take note of what makes us Happy, not what others think should make us happy! Thanks Larry!
Good morning Mr. Janesky,
Thank you for taking the time to document and to send out these principles & wise stories that I feel are valuable lessons. I apply them when I can in business and life.
Take care,
Delfin

Hey Larry, Good morning!
Funny your TD is about this today. Lately I have been thinking the same thing, I find myself wondering why everyone else’s agenda becomes mine on a daily basis. I like helping people, but I’m realizing my ladder is going to need to be moved in a different direction to continue to grow as a person. Have a great day out ahead!
well said Larry!
Hi Marie. 🙂
Good morning from Ohio – Hi Larry!
Great message Larry. Been there, done that. I believe as we evolve, the goal is to eventually shift from living from the outside in to living from the inside out.
Hi
Hi Larry 👋
I Love who I am.
