Happiness isn't about the absence of pain, it's about finding joy in the midst of it.

[Mark Hyman, M.D. @drmarkhyman]

We spend $4.3 trillion a year on healthcare, but 95% of that goes to treating chronic diseases AFTER people get sick. What if we invested in food as medicine instead? For a fraction of the cost, we could prevent and reverse disease.

AZ: NEW: The I-19 Border Patrol checkpoint out of Nogales is closed as of yesterday because there aren’t enough agents to respond to the migrant surge in the Tucson Sector: “All available manpower will be diverted to assist with processing, detention and transportation throughout sector.”

According to CBP sources, the Tucson sector is currently seeing “a large number of give-up groups” and nearly 5,000 people are currently in custody.

@USBPChiefTCA reports 15,300 migrant encounters in the sector in a single week.

That doesn’t include the people who crossed illegally and evaded—Many of them get into “load vehicles” with a smuggling driver —This checkpoint is one of the last lines of defense against both human and drug smuggling in the sector.

The center of Christianity is not going and doing something great for God; it’s sitting in wonder at all he’s done for us. Our response isn’t go and do, it’s sit and know. @jdgreear

As your president, I will not yield an inch in defending America, our people, or our values, and I promise you: I will do so in a way consistent with my oath to the Constitution and the character and decency of the American people. We will restore a threshold of integrity and civility in public life so we can bring real solutions to the challenges plaguing our nation.

Derek Jeter’s first contract was worth $0.

It was a contract with his parents.

He signed it every year as a kid.

Before each school year, his parents would outline their expectations.

They’d put them in a contract with clauses such as:

• No drugs
• No alcohol
• No arguing
• Respect girls
• Meet curfew

And Derek would have to sign it.

If he violated the contract, there’d be no baseball.

Jeter would go on to become a New York Yankees legend and a MLB Hall of Famer.

These contracts are how it started.

***

Lesson: Success isn’t an accident

As a kid, Jeter didn’t understand the contracts.

They were a hokey thing his parents did.

But over time, he saw the intention behind them.

“It built the framework for success,” he said.

He learned that successful people aren’t that way on accident.

***

Lesson: Accountability is nurtured

Everyone would agree accountability is essential.

But you’re not just born with it.

It’s a character trait that’s taught and nurtured.

This was the primary purpose of the contracts, Jeter said.

Accountable people become successful people.

***

Lesson: Stay grounded

Jeter quickly blossomed in baseball.

By 18 years old, he was one of the best prospects in the country.

The Yankees drafted him No. 6 overall in the 1992 draft.

But his parents didn’t let that get to him.

Even as a high school senior, he had to obey the contract or he wouldn’t play.

“It taught us to stay grounded,” Jeter said.

***

3 timeless lessons:

• Build a framework for success
• Hold yourself accountable to it
• And stay grounded

They apply to everything.
