Some of you guys, my heart goes out for you today because you're dealing with children that you have a broken relationship with. You don't have any ties, any connections.
Here's what I want you to do today. Reach out to those kids today with maybe a word of encouragement, maybe a hug on them, love on them. Tell them that you love them. I am not saying condone what they've done. We have a lot of kids out there that are knuckleheads that have done the wrong thing. They've made bad decisions. But let me remind you of something. You made some bad decisions yourself as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult.
Don't hold them to a standard that you're not willing to adhere to yourself when you were a younger kid. Let's show some grace. Be the bigger person. What I am saying is there is nothing that they would do that would separate my love and willingness to go out and pursue them. Maybe you need to say "Hey I don't agree with what you're doing but I want you to know that I will spend my last quarter helping you if you're willing to change." Don't love your passbook more than you do your kid. You got to love them back to you not beat them into submission.

I want to encourage you to think about this, right during these devastating trying times and just consider where you can put your confidence in your faith.
Happiness is a choice, not a trade. We have to choose to be happy. And the thing that we need to be really more focused on now, that happiness is joy and for me I can only find joy in the Lord.

I like to learn more about today's generation, instead of complaining and comparing them to things how it used to be. I do not like to be the person that complains "today's children are not the way they used to be!". I want to be the encourager. I want to be the thought leader to help take them to the level they want to go.

We're all geniuses in hindsight. We look back and we say we should have done this and we should have done that but in the heat of the moment we make an emotional decision - quite honestly, it will cost you handsomely if you're not careful.
I just want to encourage you guys right now to think about this market - that we're facing a lot of uncertainty. A lot of emotion out there. Be careful in this market that we're in right now because the decisions are made emotionally and not data-driven. There is buying opportunities out there right now I get it and there's also a time that we could go lower and you're gonna go well. Make an intelligent decision and not an emotional decision and it will pay huge dividends for you along the way.
