Dear Friends,
Not only was Happy Herbert a great pal but he was also a tremendous teacher. While he was by no means a superfluous speaker, it seemed he was constantly sharing tidbits of his deep wisdom. I took up the practice of carrying a pen and notepad whenever I was with him so that I could write down his most astounding utterances. I then transferred these notes into a journal. Below, for the first time, I am sharing excerpts from that journal that I believe represent some of Happy Herbert’s most impactful sayings. I hope you will find them as inspirational as I have.
