@ScottsdaleFire Thanks for all your support in getting this fire out. Stay safe.
I’m presuming another builder fire? 2-4 this year out here. Any chance they get held responsible?

Today’s Mindset: Nick Saban.
Leadership is hard because it means you have to tell people they’re not good enough. Everyone can’t be the best. Too many leaders today are afraid to have difficult conversations. This will forever be my favorite Saban clip.

AND YET:
Lost ages 24, 25 & 26 years to WWII.
Lost almost all of ages 33 & 34 years to the Korean War.
If you think “Eh, he was 34 anyway”:
Hit .345, .356, .345, .388 his first four years after Korea.
For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.
When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.
At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.
🔥 Oliver Anthony Shares His Favorite Scripture w/ Joe Rogan & Gets Emotional Explaining How Giving His Heart to God Turned His Life Around
"I feel like God is working inadvertently through certain people to get His point across...It talks in the Bible about being a servant...It's about trying to use what I have as a tool vs. doing what I can in the moment to give myself whatever satisfaction it is I'm trying to get."
Proverbs 4:20-27
"My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil."
