The first thing he said was, \u201cAlways be yourself. People can do whatever they want, but they can\u2019t take that from you. Everybody wants to be somebody else; just be you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the other one was, \u201cNever give up your day job.\u201d People always have these side hustles, and that\u2019s great, but remember where you really make your money and where you find the most joy. Willard was the king of the side hustle long before anybody used that term. He had a birthday farm. He did freelance work. But the whole time, he was either the weatherman for WRC or the weatherman at the <em>Today<\/em> show. He still did all these other things, but he never forgot that the<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/movies-and-tv\/positive-thinker-savannah-guthrie-today-show-co-anchor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <em>Today<\/em> show<\/a> was the main gig.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The hardest thing you\u2019ve ever done<br \/>\n<\/strong>The hardest thing was <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/how-to-embrace-the-empty-nest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watching my kids go off to college<\/a> and\/or their professional lives. When you\u2019re used to being responsible for them and then they have to go out there and be responsible for themselves, you know they\u2019re going to make mistakes and there are going to be issues. You want to fix everything, but you can\u2019t do that. That\u2019s really hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your real-life hero<br \/>\n<\/strong>My wife, Deborah. She has raised three kids. She\u2019s had a demanding career. She\u2019s got a difficult husband. (Ha!) She does it with grace and humor and a firm hand on the tiller. If it wasn\u2019t for her, medical stuff aside, after this last <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/the-role-of-faith-in-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical issue<\/a> that I\u2019ve had, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be here. I think between her and our daughter Leila, they really quarterbacked all that, especially Deborah. She was really kind of the liaison between all these medical folks and my care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you do for your spiritual well-being<br \/>\n<\/strong>I <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/how-keeping-a-gratitude-journal-can-make-a-difference-in-your-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">journal every day<\/a>. I write down what I was grateful for that day. Sometimes it might just be a great meal. Sometimes it might be a friend stopping by. But I always like to remember, to try to end on a positive note.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go-to place to pray or meditate<br \/>\n<\/strong>We have a house in upstate New York, and it\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/4-easy-ways-to-embrace-the-healing-power-of-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> by a lake<\/a>. I either like walking on the lake, depending on the weather, or if it\u2019s warm out, I like kayaking out on the lake and getting out to the middle of it and just sitting. Especially when I\u2019m lucky enough to be out there during the week\u2014nobody\u2019s out with their pontoon boats or anything. It\u2019s quiet, and you just kind of sit there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite inspirational quote<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cDarkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.\u201d\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/remembering-dr-martin-luther-king-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Occupation you would pursue if not your current one<br \/>\n<\/strong>I think it would be to become an animator. When I was a kid, my dream was to be an animator for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/faith-prayer-devotions\/guideposts-classics-walt-disney-on-divine-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walt Disney<\/a>, which was kind of the ultimate goal. I love the idea of being able to create your own world, create characters, breathe life into them and have people kind of fall in love with them. And you can express any emotion with a drawing that imitates life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Early riser or night owl?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Not necessarily by choice, but I\u2019ve always been an early riser, even before I did this job. I like <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/3-positive-ways-to-greet-the-day-and-yourself-in-the-morning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">early rising<\/a>. It\u2019s funny, especially on the weekends, I get up a couple of hours later, but I\u2019m still up before everybody. And depending on the season, I either light a fire and sit in front of the fireplace and have a cup of coffee, or sit on the back porch and just look out at the trees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite comfort food<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/recipes\/dinner\/meatloaf-with-a-twist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meatloaf<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Song at the top of your playlist<br \/>\n<\/strong>Elton John, \u201cPhiladelphia Freedom.\u201d My all-time favorite song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A surprising detail about you<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019m<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/guideposts-classics-lawrence-welk-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> extremely shy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more inspiring stories, subscribe to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/magazines\/guideposts-magazine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guideposts<\/strong><\/a> <em>magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best advice you\u2019ve ever gotten It was from Willard Scott.
