Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
Order is one of the most powerful ways to reduce anxiety.
When everything around you feels unstable, your personal structure must stay strong.
Clean your surroundings, and you will notice your mind becoming calmer.
Real control begins not with goals, but with daily habits.
Roman legions built disciplined camps every single night, even after exhausting battles.
They understood that discipline in small actions creates strength in bigger ones.
Meanwhile, their enemies lived in chaos and consistently lost to structured order.
In 1969, Philip Zimbardo left a car abandoned in the Bronx with one broken window.
Within minutes, people began looting it.
Within 24 hours, nothing remained except the frame.
This led to the Broken Windows Theory:
It small disorder is ignored, bigger chaos follows.
