Frozen, the Broadway Musical which previewed last month could go on to crush The Lion King, the blockbuster which has raked in an eye-popping $8.1bn. Yes, that's a "b", more money than all the new Star Wars films combined. The Lion King and Frozen — have one major theme in common: They're about relationships. Whereas the first film focus on the father-son relationship, Frozen is delve into sisterhood.
Life is more about memories than milestones. Many of my best memories of friendships were of sports and games, talking and laughing. I have discovered that the key to success in business and to a rich and rewarding personal life is personal relationships.
Friends will come and go throughout life. That's why we should value them while they are here. I realize I should have worked harder at some relationships, that I would have personally benefitted from spending more time with certain people. It is not about staying in touch with your friends. It is about giving myself the gift of their company too. Don't let life get in the way.
We might not be destined to have the same number of years in our lives, but we do have the same number of hours in our days. How and with whom are you spending yours? When you spend time with the wrong person, you can never retrieve those hours again. My gauge is this: if the person is not pouring good into my life in any meaningful way, I should probably spend less time with him or her. I'm probably wasting my precious life on someone not worthy of it. As I've gotten older, I've learned not to spend any appreciable time with someone who's not helping me be a better man.
Don't react to toxic people. Not giving them a reaction when they desperately seek it, is far more powerful. The only way to win against toxic people is not to play.
We cannot change the people around us but we can change the people who choose to be around.
