Stop compromising your future to satisfy people who are not important.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

— George Bernard Shaw

Most people never intended to end up where they are. They drift and dream, and then work and work. And work.

Most people, in a few spare seconds or moments, might think about changing or pivoting. Or reinventing.

But then the moment passes. And the dream is gone.

Yet some are blessed to have a person who will fight for those precious dreams — someone who will speak up, shout, do whatever it takes to make sure that the most important parts of us don’t die.

I believe that there are no ordinary moments. Right now counts forever.

But some moments carry a little more weight. Certain moments have meaning that cannot be replicated or replaced.

Message in a Bottle — or Email

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

— Viktor E. Frankl
