5 things
I'm betting at least one of these things will help you out today
Hi friends,
I’m off on vacation this week, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to share a few things with ya. Five things, to be exact.
#1 - If you need a good book recommendation
I’ll give you two:
(Here’s a list of the books I’m reading right now…yes, too many at a time, I know.)
#2 - If you need some inspiration
Your favorite F-word needs to change to: FOCUS. Yes, the other one is more fun and…oddly useful, in a NSFW kinda way…but the name of the game today is “focus”.
Whatever it is that you want to accomplish, you’ll need to prioritize your time if you want any chance at accomplishing it. In fact, focus is required if you want to reach your dreams.
#3 - If you’re having trouble keeping things in perspective
#4 - If you need to do some good…or some exercising
As the Board Chair of Central Outreach & Advocacy Center, I’m excited to share our upcoming “In Their Shoes” fundraiser! On average, people experiencing homelessness in Atlanta walk 10 miles, and this fundraiser is meant to both raise money and help build empathy for our brothers and sisters on the street. Please consider donating or joining my team!
#5 - If you need to laugh
I hope you’re happy,
Jeff
