I looked up some quotes to get a bit of inspiration for this post and the first one I came across seemed pretty fitting for me:

I talked about patience briefly in a previous post of mine so I apologize if this is a bit repetitive. However, this is pretty relevant in my personal life at the moment. Patience has never been a strong suit of mine. In this day and age, we have so much at our fingertips and instant gratification is easily attainable. At the click of a button we can get any information we want on the internet via phone, tablet computer, etc. We can contact anyone we want instantly with a quick text, DM or call. But not everything is within our control and therefore, we need to exercise patience. We need patience if we are waiting on information from someone, patience to see the outcome of a test, patience to see how things “play out”, etc. I love this quote because a lot of times we think we just need to have patience to wait but we forget what an important role attitude plays. Waiting is rough for some of us. Especially if waiting includes anything or anyone very near and dear to us. But how much better and less stressful will the waiting period be if we strive to keep a good attitude and choose to be happy and positive while practicing patience? I would think quite a bit. Here’s to having a good attitude, even when practicing patience.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..." -Dr. Seuss

When I graduated high school my mother gave me Oh, The Place You'll Go by Dr. Seuss. This seemed strange to an 18 year old who had just completed his public education. As I get older, I see more and more what my mother was trying to tell me. We all have the ability to push ourselves further and harder. Life is our adventure, and sometimes it will be scary or wacky, but if we trust ourselves, work hard, and have a little luck we can dominate anything. This could be working harder in the warehouse, getting outside ones comfort zone, or even just taking an extra second to make your work that much better. Oh, the places SlideBelts will go with all of us propelling it together. Here's to a great start of 2018 and to an even better year than ever before.

“And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.) KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS! So... be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way!”  -Dr. Seuss
