10 Life Reflections

10 Life Reflections

As I start my new opportunity next week, I thought I would share some of my thoughts that I’ve gleaned from my personal life and my time at both Amazon and J&J.

  • You can have high standards and be nice too!
  • Don’t be afraid to say - "I don’t know."
  • Make time for yourself, no one else will.
  • Don’t be afraid to love people and what you do!
  • Be courageous, you can always revert back to being mediocre.
  • Be light, encourage others when you don’t feel like it.
  • Affirmation is good!
  • Know when the lights flicker at the party, it’s time to take it on home!
  • Focus on your next breath, it may be your last.
  • No one cares! - (I have to admit, this is my 14-year-old daughter’s  response when I tell her what happened during my day!)

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and remember our brothers and sisters who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
