When Not To Argue
There’s a certain wisdom in knowing when to engage in a discussion and when to step back.
What Separates the Best from the Rest?
What separates the best from the rest? It’s not luck, talent, or even intelligence. It’s the ability to show up and do the work—especially on the days when you don’t feel like it.
The Power of Goodness
It's easy, in times like these, to feel overwhelmed by the weight of the challenges before us. But history teaches us that it's precisely in these moments that the pursuit of goodness becomes not just a noble ideal, but a practical necessity.
The Only Two People Who Matter
There comes a point in every life when the clamor of the world fades into the background, and two quieter, more persistent voice takes its place; the child you once were and the elder you will become.
Three Things
We can sit and watch history unfold, lamenting its course, or we can take hold of the tiller and steer. The question is: What three things can you do right now to take you where you want to be?
The Best Revenge
The cycle of reprisal diminishes all involved. But to turn one’s energy toward building, achieving, and uplifting? That is revenge with dividends.
Do The Dishes

Jimmy Carter's Legacy
Jimmy Carter may not have won every battle, but he earned history’s respect. He was kind, resilient, and focused on others. His life proves that legacy isn’t about power—it’s about purpose. And for that, we are eternally grateful.

There are only two resolutions you need to make, every year, every month, every week, and every day. Prioritize people and actions which move your story forward. And deprioritize everything else.
God Speed to a Good Man
Today, we bid farewell to a man who defied convention and built a post-presidential legacy that will long outlast the headlines of his era. Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, has departed this world at the age of 100, closing a chapter in American history marked by quiet strength, unshakable integrity, and a relentless dedication to the betterment of humanity.

What the World Needs Now...
When I look around and see hate speech spreading so easily online, I feel two strong emotions: anger and sadness. Anger that anyone would hurt someone because of their background, who they love, or what they believe. And sadness that so many join in without a second thought. But now is our time to change that.
