Rotaries and Grinders

The oil in our life is the smoothness in our ride through this journey.

We need to replace it once in a while or we break down.
No one is indestructible. Human wise at minimum.

For the next stop, make it a big impact.

For those of you who have the eyes of children on your character,
give them something to take home this weekend.
Give them a hero.
Give them a reason to want to stick to the script.

And on this journey, make as many pit stops as you can to refuel that tank you call mind and body.
The roads are nasty, the tires are balding, and the eggs are overcooked this morning.
This is the true meaning of doing well.
Without the struggle, the challenge, we are just standing here waiting for a purpose.

Remember wanting to be a firefighter or doctor as a kid?
You didn't exactly take care of what was necessary to become those idols at the time, but as you grew, you started to have a different idea of what a true idol in your life could be.

Some of you became accountants, and we know how much we love the math when it adds up in our favor.
Some of you became strong machines in sports, a reason to give other children the feeling of closeness with a parent, and a different idol in real life to want to at least be on the straight path to success, not just in the professional suit and tie world.
Some of you run a website.
Some of you run a dog shop.
Time is not ours to determine, but to make very every use of it as we could possibly use.
For many reasons we will never understand, almost every 7 years our taste develops.
The engine is wearing down, so you want to do less.
I say the engine's still good. Keep driving. Push for the limits if you have to.
Make no mistake about what you wanted in the first place. Just make sure you have time to stop and say hello and eat something, too.


And that's Real Talk.
