Energy Spent ≠ Progress
"Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere."
- Van Wilder
Value can’t be faked — it’s real, undeniable impact.
If nothing changes, was it ever worth doing? And if no one cares about the result, why waste your time?
Every day, you spend money, energy, and time. They can be burned up on mindless busywork, wasted on worrying, or invested into something that drives real progress.
It isn’t whether you'll spend these resources — it’s whether they'll lead to anything worthwhile when you do.
In business, that means cutting the nonsense and locking in on what actually moves the needle. Hard work alone won't get you there. Hard work on the right things will.
Your family and friends aren’t counting your hours — they're counting on you. Are you present? Are you engaged? Is home just where you get rest, or is it a place you give your best?
You were built to provide value through service.
Without it, you don’t just drift — you deteriorate.
