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.

The number of one-on-one clients that I have today are guys that are needing to stop the bleeding and I tell everybody, "listen, when you get hurt in an accident what's the first thing they start to do? They stop the bleeding!" I want to talk to you this morning about stopping the bleeding. Here's the deal. We have priorities. We have things that are important to us but many guys are trapped. Like, you're in a situation financially where you just don't know what to do. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to stop the bleeding. I want you to put a stake in the ground and say, "You know what, from this day forward I'm going to make some changes." You've got to decide what your priorities are. Is it really your face or your family? Or is it really something else?

We won't be able to remember everything. We cannot rely on our memory. That said, we need to have a habit in jotting down our schedules, plans, upcoming activities and even ideas so as we have something as a reference to check the things we need to do or possibly missing.

You can make all the money you want, you can be as successful as you want, you can impress everybody, you can own whatever but if your family is not right, it's all useless. That is why I talk about the family about 75% more times than I do business.
Robin has a sign that sits on her nightstand and it says "always kiss me goodnight." So for 37 years now, almost every day, every year of our marriage, about 99 and half percent of the time we always practice this.
The Bible teaches us not to go to bed at night letting the anger stay with you. You got to deal with it. And even though we've gone to bed some nights, we fight just like you do, no we're not perfect, but Robin always comes up to me and kisses me goodnight. Kind of softens the anger a little bit. We'll talk through it and work through it. It's important that we deal with things. There are other things in life that we dealt with that have been instrumenta but Robin has taken the lead role in this. She said it's not healthy for us to go to bed angry at night.
Guys I want you to honor your wife. Ladies, do the same to your husband. Maybe implement that strategy yourself and get that little sign so you can can have a great relationship. Don't go to bed angry. A lot of times people say well a good night sleep will do you good but I'm going to tell you, a good night sleep just let you be passive and you just sweep it undr the rug. And there will be a day that you'll deal with it. It will be a lot easier to deal with things that day.
Honor that covenant because it will pay huge dividends in the future. Our families are the most important relationships on the planet. So honor them well and I just want you to pay attention. Always kiss me goodnight and it will serve you well.
