74 years young, and plenty of runway ahead. And worth remembering, Mark Twain was writing in the 1800s when life expectancy looked very different, but you get the point. Thanks for reading!
When I was reading this post I kept thinking “you can’t quit doing hard things”. It’s the hard things that keep us learning, growing and achieving. I hope I can instill this in my kids. Thanks for another great post.
Agreed, Ari. I did not want to work out this morning, some days are just harder than others, but I pushed through anyway. That is the whole game. And yes, those are the lessons worth passing down to the kids.
Chris, great follow-up gems in this article. The last two articles have really put me in a "drifting vs. dreaming" mindset. I have been changing my habits because of it, no excuses just execution towards maintaing the life I want and deserve.
Even though life can move fast at times, I'm learning that daily momentum is what turns dreams into reality. Drifting becomes much harder when you're disciplined about doing the small things consistently.
Life is ultimately about doing. As you mentioned, willpower, hustle, and grit will only take you so far. The true return on investment of our time is measured by the results we create through consistent action. Happy to have you in my life, these talks consistenly help me day in and day out!
Rakeem, love your line: "Drifting becomes much harder when you're disciplined about the small things." Develop those habits and routines for long term success.
Don't worry Chris. The boys will remember all of the time together and how special it was and still stop by after they move out and are in their 20s for dinners, coffee, workouts, dog walks, or just sitting on the front porch swing together talking and laughing. Trust me on this one. ;)
Thanks again, Chris - did not know the Mark Twain quote AND I am 74 years old.

That is exactly what I needed to hear, Jen. Thank you.
