2023 book list. Some good. Some Great. Always learning.

A year ago, I documented my attempts at learning how to really swim on Facebook. I’m kicking myself now for not recording with video, but the point is, I wanted to see how good at swimming I could get in 7 sessions.

Halloween is finally past us, thank goodness.

I’ve never been a fan of Halloween, and I’ll tell you why, but first, I need to share something that happened in a car ride with my kids last week.

Think about that. 
Nothing we have ever done, ever in our lives, started out easy.  

From our first second out in the real world, we come out absolutely screaming. Why? Because breathing air on our own was HARD. Living outside our warm, protective mother and in the cold world was HARD.  Adjusting our eyes, figuring out how to use our hands, eating, crawling, walking, running, jumping… these all used to be impossibly HARD.  

Some call it fortune. 
Some call it chance. 
Some call it divine guidance. 

Regardless of what you call it, here’s how I’ll define it for the purposes of this thought: 

Luck is any event outside your control that directly affects your life.

The title of this book is going to weave its way into the Words of Wisdom in a clever way… just watch…

I’ve got a book recommendation for you, but make sure you read through the mind-blowingly-massive Words of Wisdom thought. I know I’m biased, but it’s pretty cool.
