Today, I’m blessed to be celebrating my 57th birthday. I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you my Top 10 Insights into Living a Remarkable Life

1. How you show up in your marriage is the most crucial factor in your happiness. Don’t waste your years together bickering, holding grudges, or keeping score. Always be the one most positive, kind, appreciative, and giving.

2. Who you surround yourself with becomes who you are. Be selective and discerning in your friendships and community. Seek those who share your values, integrity, compassion, and loyalty.

3. You only get to raise your children once. Before you know it, they will be free and independent and will reflect what you put into them. We all have life lessons we want to share—don’t wait; do it now.

4. Gd has a plan for you. Sometimes, life doesn’t unfold the way we think it should. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” ask yourself, “What does Gd want from me?” This is how you become Gd’s partner, not Gd’s victim.

5. Marriage is about commitment and growth, not love and happiness. When you dedicate your life to your marriage mission, love and happiness follow. But if your focus is on your happiness, you can lose everything.

6. Take risks. Nothing extraordinary happens when you live a mundane, routine life. Reach for your dreams, leave your comfort zone, and create new opportunities for yourself and your family.

7. Destinations pale in comparison to journeys. Set goals, but appreciate and enjoy the day-to-day grind of getting there. This is the real joy in life, whether it’s raising children, creating a business, or transforming your health.

8. You are here to serve. The greatest pleasures in life will come from your impact on those around you, starting with your family and moving outwards. Helping others become the best versions of themselves is exactly how you become the ultimate version of yourself.

9. Don’t get caught on the hamster wheel of life. It’s easy to move from win to win without taking a breath and acknowledging our victories. Yet these are the roses we are supposed to smell along the way. Even though we have a lot to accomplish, life isn't an endless to-do

10. You are good enough and worthy of love. Today, it’s common to bow out of life’s most rewarding challenges—marriage, family, starting a business, sharing your voice—because we harbor false beliefs about self-worth. Kick that B.S. to the side and jump into the pool of life
