Simply The Best
There’s a big difference between being “the best” and “one of the best.”

The Best
means that you are indubitably, unequivocally, indisputably the best in who you are, what you do, and what you stand for,
no matter who – or what – else you are compared with, or what others might be exposed to.
Anywhere.
Any time.

If you are in the U.S., you are on Day 2 of the Thanksgiving holiday (and hopefully you have the day off).
You’ve eaten a lot, maybe planning to hit the sales today (even better, you’re doing that online), and perhaps done your bit to give back by volunteering somewhere… all the while, giving thanks for everything you have.

What about giving thanks for everything you don’t have?
What about giving thanks for the things that didn’t work out?

Love, Remarkable
Today is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.
It is often characterized – sometimes caricatured – as the only time of year Americans make their annual visit “home.”
And, more often than not, eat too much, drink too much, fight too much, and vow never to do to it again… until they do it all over again the following year.
But what it really is, is a remarkable declaration of love.
A decade ago
Until I moved to the U.S. in 2000, Thanksgiving really didn’t mean anything to me.
