= THREAD =
= THREAD =
1. Work hard, play hard
My grandfather worked very hard to provide for his family and took pride in his work.
But, he knew life requires balance
He taught us that to not bring work home and to chase adventure over money.
Don’t lose your life to any job.

2. Take time for yourself
In society today we are often scared to be alone.
My grandfather took the time to sit in his own company, reflecting on:
- His thoughts
- His actions
- His life
Take time everyday to recharge with yourself
It will change your life.

3. Spend quality time with others
People matter most.
He always made time for all of us even when his schedule was packed.
He always kept his word and could be counted on him to:
- Celebrate the victories
- Walk through the trials
We all need to get back to valuing people.

4. Live from the heart
We need to live on our own terms.
My grandfather did.
Others didn’t always agree with what he was doing
But he knew that he was chasing his own dreams and no one was going to stop him
Don’t ever apologize for living from your heart.

5. Travel
So many of us will never see outside of our hometown.
He made the decision to be different…
He always chose where he would go for the year and start making a plan to get the most out of it.
My wife and I do the same
Grab your suitcase, and just go.

6. Have a morning routine
His looked like this:
1. Wake up at the same time
2. Walk every day
3. Breakfast
4. Work
This set him up for a fruitful day, every day
Start a morning routine and don’t look back.

7. Don’t follow the crowd
So many of today want to be just like everyone else
My grandfather showed me that it pays off to walk your own way
So when you find yourself looking around in comparison
Stop, then realize that you are going to be a story that everyone talks about.

8. Help others
I watched him help others daily by:
- Giving people rides
- Buying groceries
- Just talking
A life best lived is a life that serves others without expecting anything in return.
Who have you helped recently?

9. Write daily
Handwritten notes were normal for my grandfather.
He would write them to his wife and loved ones.
Those will be in our family for generations to come.
Take the time to be intentional and put pen to paper.

10. Laugh
This one is simple.
Don’t be so serious that you miss joy
He taught me that laughter is medicine
So laugh as much a you can
It will fill your days, I promise.
