Underrated life advice: Have a place where you go to think. A porch. A trail. A coffee shop. A park bench. Somewhere your mind knows it's time to slow down. Most people spend their lives searching for answers. Few create the conditions for answers to appear.

Gonna need to check those references….

This is Jam. He said he was the highest jumping golden retriever in Ontario. May or may not have lied on his resume. Still 13/10

A peak life advice.

A mentor told me this: “Always assume things will work out, then do the work to make it true.” I’ve found the combination creates a quiet confidence that allows you to tolerate uncertainty better than anything else. I’ll never forget that.

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology.

Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested.
Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel.
Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.

Major cheat code for life: Believe that things will work out for you. Not blindly, but through effort. When you expect good things and pair it with action, you start noticing opportunities others miss. Optimism paired with effort is a powerful force.

A mantra I repeat:

No one is coming to save you.
No one really cares what you do.
It is all up to you.

A question that lives rent free in my head…

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Friendly reminder: The goal is not to be impressive for a moment. The goal is to be reliable over time. In work, in friendship, in marriage, in life. Nobody cares about your best day. They care about your average day. Who you are then is who you are. And that's all that matters.

On this day in 2015… I was teaching a live, audio-based webinar for career services professionals at @OMAairport while waiting for our flight to Boston to go watch @OmahaHKY in the Frozen Four.

Your entire life can really change in a year. You just gotta love yourself enough to know you deserve more, be brave enough to demand more, and be disciplined enough to actually work for more. You can do it. You got this.

Major cheat code for life: Don’t mourn the time you've lost, use the time you still have. Most people walk around haunted by a list of things they wish they’d done by now. They tell themselves it’s too late. It’s not. 6 months from now, it can still be a dream, or it can be real.

Pretty good career advice from a fake football coach with a cat. 🐈

The older I get, the more I realize you can get pretty damn far in life by just doing what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus deeply. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

Easy to read. Hard to execute.
