When You Don't Hit Your Goals - The Daily Omer

This was the background on my phone for the last two months of 2025: “Last [expletive] lap of the year. Run it hard. Two months. That’s all that’s left.

Wrong Turns, Wrong Exits

Have you ever taken a wrong turn in town? What’s the setback? 5-10 minutes? It can be the difference between being on-time for an appointment vs. being late. Ever taken a wrong exit on the interstate? What’s the setback? 15-20 minutes? On a long trip, you probably have a buffer of time so you mightContinue reading “Wrong Turns, Wrong Exits”
