Are you the guy that has ""it"? Or are you the one who sucks the life out of everyone? We got to be careful with how we present ourselves. Don't bring that victim mentality. Let's adjust our attitude.

We're reading that book John Gottman's book, Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work, and, I want to tell you, that book is absolutely outstanding. At first I didn’t want to read but in chapter 2, John Gottman asked a question that I never really thought about. He said, “What is your secret weapon for defusing arguments?” I started thinking about that a little bit. I want to ask you today. Do you take things too serious? I mean probably, you are arguing about some dumb stuff in your relationship. We've got to do things to defuse these situations. I’d like to ask you again, what is your secret weapon? What is that thing that you're using to defuse some of those arguments or bad situations or disagreements that you're having? So just think about it. I don't know what it is for you? Whatever it is though I would encourage you to defuse it faster than not. Figure out what that thing is that you can do to defuse those bad situations.

You don't have to know every single answer to get started. A Lot of you guys ask me all the time, “Big A! Tell me about your master play and tell me about all the things that you're accomplishing and how its laid out for you and how you had it playing?” And I'm like slow down a minute, man. Take a breath. I didn't have any of this stuff playing five years ago! When I started View From The Top. Many of you say, “Hey, I don't have the big picture. I can't see it and so therefore I'm not going to get started.” Listen, you're not going to know what it's gonna look like in its entirety. You just need to start. You need to get out of the gate! You need to launch! You need to go for it and then pivot and turn and you will figure it out as you go. Now, don't be reckless. Don’t get out there and do something crazy. Don’t do something with no plan whatsoever. In whatever it is that you're trying I just want to give you the courage today to launch! Just to get out there and then pivot and turn make the the adjustments that you need to in order to be successful. The scary part though is getting out of the gate. You’re like, “Oh man, I can't do this unless I have every “T" crossed and every I dotted.” I just want to tell you that's not true. You can figure this out as you go. Get trusted advisors around you. Get people that are smarter than you are. When you have the Council of the wisdom of the multitudes the people around you that meet with you on a regular basis that can guide you direct you, you too can launch.

Is it even possible to expect nothing from others just to get not disappointed? But I do want to tell you this. It has played out well in life over the years. We really have unmet expectations that causes huge disappointments in our lives. "Expect nothing from anyone and you will never be disappointed" is thru. You know why? We do not know people's situation. Even family members. We really do not know the road that they are going thru. We do not know the whole story. We do not know their history. We do not know the whole perspective.
What we should do is be focusing on what we are responsible of doing - the things that we should be doing.
