I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.

In 1989 I randomly sat next to a cute girl at college orientation. I mustered the courage to say hi. I’ve been married to that girl for 26 years.

In 1999 a friend invited me to try rock climbing. I said yes and discovered a life-long passion.

In 2017 while sitting in a board meeting I had an epiphany: This isn't the life I want. I quit my job and moved the fam to Boulder with no plan. The rest is history.

Here’s the crazy thing about life:

One action, one decision, one pivotal moment can change everything (for better or worse).

But here's the trick:

You don’t know beforehand which action will be the game-changer.

That’s why it’s important to have a strong bias toward action. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Make that phone call you’ve been putting off
Push through when you feel like quitting
Have that uncomfortable conversation
Introduce yourself to that cute guy/girl
Check out that church or faith group
Ask for that promotion or raise
Apply for that new job
Sign up for that class
Start that side hustle
Post that tweet
Take that trip

The world belongs to the bold. Be a seeker, open to change and opportunity.

And most importantly...

Shoot your shot.

Why is it that you can buy the same truck in any color, but as soon as you want to upgrade a white washer & dryer set to the colored ones, boom $200 more 🙃

Today a customer says to me, "Oh you're not married, that's how you can afford to build a house." 🤷‍♂️

[Cole G. Young @ColeGYoung]

Trying to turn that, "I get what I want" mentality into, "I get what He wants me to have."

Not even sad that my turkey hunting partner bailed on me this morning 😴😴

@c_dawg_16 I guess I'm paying for it by working on Saturday 🙄

[Cole G. Young @ColeGYoung]

It's Thursday and I've barely worked a day and a half this week. Bank life is the best life.

[Cole G. Young @ColeGYoung]

Maybe it's the pre-workout talking, but I'm so high on life right now 🙏

How did I not know that Home Depot will match the Menards 11% rebates?! #gamechanger

Played basketball last night for the first time in years....jammed finger, blistered feet, shin splints and too many sore muscles. I actually thought I was in decent shape 😟

If I didn't just start that load of laundry you know I'd be ready for bed right now.

Spent the day with my buddy's 7 kids.....23k steps later. Dude kids are hard.

I've only worked 2 days this week and tomorrow needs to be Saturday.

Yesterday I sat in glue, today I got silicon on my coat. I'm too messy for the construction field.

New Sunday morning routine: read the Menards weekly ad and see what I need 🏡

Helped unload 70 sheets of drywall today. Now I'm really dreading the day we actually have to put it up 😑
