Marshall Laws

My running time is my thinking time. That’s when I ponder most of the big things in life. Those things that govern how I see the world and what motivates me to keep pushing forward — even during the tough times.  I just jotted down 10 of the ways I try to live my life. I probably could do 100 — but I think 10 is a good start.

While I was running, I was trying to sum up how I see life. Here are ten ways I try to live:

. Marshall’s Law #10: Look for the best in people. You’ll occasionally be disappointed but most often, you’ll be greatly rewarded.
.
. 

Marshall’s Law #9: When you take yourself too seriously, trust me, you are alone.
.
. 

Marshall’s Law #8: It’s not what happens to you. It’s how you react to it.
.
. 

Marshall’s Law #7: Everyday is a gift. Let your hard work be your thank-you note.
.
. Marshall’s Law #6: You are the sum of your closest friends.
.
. Marshall’s Law #5: The worst moments lead to best — as soon as you stop viewing them as “worst moments” and start as “opportunities.”
.
. Marshall’s Law #4: When success brings arrogance, is it truly success?
.
. Marshall’s Law #3: Truth is always the best option — and easier to keep up with.
.
. Marshall’s Law #2: If people don’t know you, they won’t pay attention to you. Get out in the community!

Marshall’s Law #1: Giving back to the community is not only the right thing to do; it’s smart business.
