Three Life Lessons I Had Learned Earlier
3/12/2010

When I look back, there are three learned I've learned, each of which has become solidly hardwired into my psyche.

  1. There never was anything to be afraid of.  The opportunities I passed up, the people I never approached, the rock star I never became.  All sacrificed at the altar of fear-fear that never really existed.
  2. My worst decisions and actions happened when I was being petty, weak, or self-involved; when I made less-than-kind comments about people; when negative outside influences affected me.
  3. I am on this planet for bigger purposes than accumulating riches.  Thirteen years ago my life was permanently, profoundly altered by a dog named Milo.  He put me on an entirely different life path.  Milo helped me see that one of the major reasons I've been fortunate enought to accumulate substantial wealth is to use that money to help homeless, abused, and abandoned dogs.
Milo also taught me humility.  As I stand on a platform, having just finished giving a 90-minute talk to an audience of hundreds, getting a standing ovation from the admiring crowd and getting a paycheck equal to many people's annual salary, I clearly keep in mind that at the same time on the next day I'll be back in my yard, cleaning up dog poop left by the dozen rescue dogs now in my care.

Thank you Milo.
