Do you know anyone who makes a big deal out of what really isn’t a big deal in your mind? I know… sometimes it is about perspective… maybe someone is having a bad day and the slightest thing wrong sets them off.
There are times though where we, all of us, need to examine if what is upsetting us is really worth being upset about.
Don’t let petty things like bad co-workers, bad bosses, bad moments control your day. At the end of the day much of what they do may be irritating (minor), but it is not always major (life altering).
There are situations that are, and there are situations that are not. Know the difference and treat them as such.
Don’t get caught up with those that major in the minors. Major, and focus, on the things that are truly important and need your full attention.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.

Just wanted to check I got this correct…
Sometimes what is not a big deal to one person, may be a big deal to another. For example, if you have a bad day at work, it may not be a big deal to you, but to someone else it may be a huge issue. Similarly, it is important to remember that what is not a big deal to one person may not be a big deal to another. For example, if you are having a bad day, don’t get wrapped up in what others are saying. Instead, focus on what is important to you and try to do something positive today.
