I do not remember a time when I didn't know that I wanted to be a doctor. #Halloween was the day I got to dress up like one. And all these years later, I still know it is the role I was meant to play. Dreams do come true. #medicinecalls #gratitude

The United States Military Academy at West Point was established in 1802 and is the earliest of the service academies. I've been privileged to speak here a number of times over the past years. Today I'm lecturing about performance. Duty • Honor • Country #Gratitude

The brain has a remarkable way of preserving the people who shaped us. On World Teachers’ Day, I’m reminded that my mother spent much of her life teaching—and passed away, fittingly, on National Teacher Day. I’m grateful for the memories she left behind. Miss you, Mom.

Coach Jerry Sachsel built Millburn Wrestling into a legendary program and is recognized in the National Wresting Hall of Fame. For me, his real legacy is much more personal.Although his statistics are impressive, winning was never the only thing. RSVP givebutter.com/tywlc-millbur…

Chap 20: A Brain Surgeon's Quest to Out-Think Fear Facts and Truths Distinguishing between these two is the 1st step in Cognitive Domination. When a "phere" event falls into our lives, we ask: "What are the objective facts?" + "What are the subjective truths?" #howwethink
