Do not use your energy to worry. Life is too short to worry about stupid things.
Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing and do not let people bring you down.
Study, think, create and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

Heard this the other day and man, it hit hard…
When God wanted to make David king, he didn’t send him a crown. He sent him Goliath.

Powerful. And necessary. In a world of noise and chaos, a boat of light and mindfulness crosses the United States, changing hearts along the way. If there’s anyway to begin 2026 , may it be with the message of these courageous monks.

The question isn’t how to push harder, but how to remove what breaks your focus.
- Distractions
- Negative self-talk
- Wrong challenge/skill ratio
- Vague goals
- Pressure and burnout
These are all flow blockers.
Protect your focus like a scarce resource.

At the end of the day what really matters is that your loved ones are well, you've done your best and that you're thankful for all you have. 💖🙏

Pray with me y’all:
Father,
We come to You today with hearts open wide, lifting up Your holy name with joy and praise! You are the God of hope, the God of healing, the God of miracles, and the lifter of our heads. Even when the world feels heavy and our hearts feel tired, You are still good, still faithful, and still working all things together for our good.
Lord, for every soul that feels down today—for those weighed down by sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness—we ask that Your presence would rush in like a mighty flood. Fill them with a peace that surpasses all understanding. Replace sorrow with joy, despair with hope, and heaviness with a garment of praise!
We thank You, God, for all that You are doing—even when we can’t always see it. You are moving behind the scenes, opening doors, healing hearts, restoring dreams, and making a way in the wilderness. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever! If You brought us through before, You will do it again. Your power has no limits, and Your love never runs out.
Father, remind us today that we are not forgotten, not forsaken, and never alone. You are Emmanuel—God with us—and Your light shines brightest in the darkest places. Let that truth rise up in every heart that feels weary. Let it breathe new life into tired souls and awaken fresh faith in those who have been struggling to hold on.
We choose to praise You in the middle of the storm, knowing that joy comes in the morning. We declare victory over fear, depression, doubt, and discouragement. We believe that the best is yet to come, because You are not finished with us yet!
We give You all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise—because You alone are worthy!
In Jesus name, Amen!
