Happy Saturday.

Great to wake up in my own bed.

A new era is nearly here.

Days away.

Nervous.

Excited.

Big decisions, home

Stop writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts after 16 years?

That’s on the table. Again.

There are 25 days to decide.

Been thinking about it randomly, unhurriedly, up until a year ago.

Still uncommitted. But leaning way closer to committed.

What’s in your calendar?

Looking back two decades ago. It’s fun to do the math. The math is my vision back then and how that vision manifested over 20 years to today.

Decluttering frees you to get to the important stuff.

The personal leadership stuff.

The stuff that makes you happy.

The stuff you will never regret doing or getting better at.

Yo, Bro

Four people at a Japanese restaurant
Yo, bruh, sorry that Tampa beat the Vikings. Photo: yesterday at Teppen Edo (Japan). Brad, our 2nd fraternity president, and Dave joined today’s spontaneous group call. Brad had to bounce after 30 mins. He and his family had to drive to the Vikings game. Playing Tampa Bay (our”home team”). “We” won. Sorry Brad.
11-second video: To clarify, 90 minutes on the second dip in the pool. A group phone call with a couple fraternity brothers.

i have no regrets, but if forced at knifepoint to “confess”, i’d say i regret being a busy person most of my life.

Everything teaches.

Everything.

Even regret.

And especially (self) forgiveness and learning from regret.
