Selfishness, Imperfections, and What Really Matters

Hey everyone, first off, my apologies for the night video! I just got a last-minute call—they need my dump truck for a job tomorrow, the day before Thanksgiving. Since I'm still available, I have to take a quick trip to check on the truck and make sure everything is ready to go.

But as always, the drive isn't just about the truck. On our way there and back, I'll be sharing some thoughts and life lessons on things that truly matter:

✨ Selfishness vs. Selflessness: Finding the balance between looking out for yourself and helping others.
✨ Perfect Imperfections: Why our flaws and life's unexpected detours are what make us unique and beautiful.
✨ What Really Matters: Cutting through the noise to focus on the things that bring genuine meaning and happiness.

Join me for this late-night drive and let's have a real conversation.

Whatever you truly desire in life, pursue it with fierce determination. Pair that drive with a clear plan, consistent effort, and the flexibility to adapt when things change. Build and nurture your support system — because when you do, you won’t just reach your goals… you’ll surpass them in ways you never expected.

Aim high, even if you miss. Never aim low just to hit. Better a noble failure than a mediocre success. The greatest failure is not in falling short of a grand vision, but in achieving a vision that was never grand enough.

Friends, there’s no reason not to give it a try. Where you are today doesn’t determine where you’ll end up. Your destiny is yours to shape — no one else can write it for you. If you’re not failing, you’re not pushing hard enough. Keep striving and keep growing!
