DO THINGS THAT SUCK!
This is the most valuable life lesson I’ve learned in my 49 years.
Here’s the hard truth, a lot of the people you walk by on the street are living to survive. They’ll take the easiest path when presented with forks in their life roads. Why? Because it’s easy!
Yet, while the easy roads they take are crowded, the SUCK lanes are relatively empty. You’ll own them. And you’ll be walking on those roads with other people willing to do things that suck. And your connections and conversations on those roads will be more impactful without all the life clutter from others.
So when you’re in the nearly empty gym at 5 am with five or six people busting your ass while everyone else is sleeping, know you’re doing it right. Because it sucks.
And when you’re sitting at your table studying for a test or preparing for another job interview while your amigos are out partying, know you’re doing it right. Because it sucks.
Do things that suck. And your life won’t suck. And you’ll set the example for those that matter to you that they shouldn’t accept mediocrity either. Because it SUCKS.
I dedicate this post to a man who did a lot of things that sucked. Rest in peace Lenny Hyde.
🚨 Major development: Iran has reportedly put a detailed ceasefire/Hormuz plan before the U.S.
This crosses the threshold because it is more specific than the negotiating positions we had this morning.
Reported, but not yet formally confirmed by both governments: Regional sources briefed by mediators say Iran has presented Washington with a road map proposing a region-wide ceasefire lasting up to 60 days, a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, an end to attacks on Arab neighbors, and negotiations aimed at ending the conflict. Iran wants the U.S. blockade lifted as part of the arrangement. President Donald Trump has not agreed to the plan and reportedly will not lift the blockade before Iran demonstrates what Washington considers sufficient goodwill.
That means this is not a ceasefire yet. But it is potentially important because the negotiations have progressed from broad demands to a proposed sequence of concrete actions—ceasefire, Hormuz reopening, blockade negotiations and wider ...
The biggest threat to the United States of America.
The biggest threat to the United States is not Iran, Russia, China or any other country.
It is not the terrorist, cartels, gangs, drugs, immigration illegal or otherwise, or crime.
The biggest threat to the United States of America is lying politicians, bureaucrats, a small percentage of dirty cops, educators, greedy businesses and rogue judges. The very ones who deal with policy, laws, regulations and how we live our lives.
We have delt with real foreign threats before and have been very successful. It is not the the physical threats that we can’t deal with, it’s the ideological threats that are really threatening our country. It threatens what we stand for as a nation, the fabric and very foundation we are built on and built of.
Our founding fathers risked life, liberty and every single thing they had on a idea of something the likes of the world had never seen, a free people who governed themselves and who could decide what was best for themselves and not a...
