Last day of year 17 @IrvingHigh , wow how things have changed over that time. Irving was never on my map being an Air Force brat from Valdosta Georgia and then growing up in Johnson County south of Fort Worth, but now I look to one day retire here! @IrvingISD saved my life, twice

Following the death of Deputy Timothy White right here in Tampa, I wanted to share this message with each of you. There is an epidemic plaguing our first responders. It is important that they know they are not alone. There is help and information available, thanks to fantastic groups like @CrisisCenterTB. Reach out to them, or make use of the resources below. To all civilians, I ask you to share this message and join in the fight. Our first responders are the ones that run in while others run out. They have our six, we need to have theirs. Crisis and Suicide Hotline, Dial 211 If you are not sure where else to turn, call 1-866-435-4376 or visit LastToAsk.com

Happiness is not the goal. Instead, seek purpose by contributing to the greater good and continuing to grow.

Being obsessed with happiness can make us unhappy. Joy doesn't arise from ruminating about our emotions. It comes from immersing ourselves in worthwhile experiences. Happiness is not a goal to pursue. It's a byproduct of leading a life of meaning and engagement. @Trevornoah

Ghosting isn't always due to a lack of care. It’s often a misguided effort to avoid hurting someone. Many people stop replying to shield others from pain. They don't realize being ignored is usually worse than being rejected. Candor stings briefly. Silence leaves an open wound.

So sweet! ❀️❀️ The students at Tinker K-8 made Valentines as part of U.S. Rep. @KathyCastorFL Valentines for Veterans initiative. This morning, Rep. Castor & School Board Member Stacy Hahn visited Tinker to pick up the cards & deliver them to a local Veterans hospital.

A key to lifelong learning is to see everyone you meet as a potential teacher. No one has a monopoly on wisdom. Each interaction is a chance to question old assumptions and gain new perspectives. Collecting lessons from others is the fastest way to fill gaps in your experience.

Here's something every leader could do today. Brag about someone every time you feel like complaining. Build an environment where people feel like they matter.

Success is about who you are becoming and how that person contributes. Skills matter. Circumstance and opportunities matter. Relationships are a factor. But the core of success is about becoming your best self in service to others. #Leadership #Management #LFreakpost

If your partner or spouse is a teacher they probably answer 2,000 questions every school day. So try to avoid asking them questions the minute they get home, especially questions like, β€œSo what’s for dinner?”

Burdens of leadership: You’re the one laying awake trying to solve problems, meet payroll, avoid layoffs, and maximize profits. You work to do the right thing. Some think you’re being selfish. You work to be fair. Some think you play favorites. #Leadership #LFreakquote
