As we enter the final months of 2024, I was thinking about progress on some goals.

It’s been helpful to do a “lookback” to see how my actions ladder up to what I want to achieve. Every so often, I look at the past quarter and say: “Man, that didn’t hit the mark…”

As I continue to practice grace, I appreciated this quote from Jesse Pujji, a 2x founder and father of 3.

“I'm 39 going on 40. It took 10, arguably 20 years to position myself this way (since I was a 15-year-old studying hard for the PSAT). So if I leave you with one thing, it's this: be long-term patient and urgent daily”

I’ve been trying to start with a question: “What’s the healthiest decision I can make today?” Those tiny, boring decisions start to compound. If we practice daily discipline, great things can happen.

That tree only grows mighty in years if you’re willing to water it every day. Be patient for the harvest, but urgent in the care.
