Today is my 9 year wedding anniversary...

16d • General discussion

And we had a terrible day.

We’ve all been sick for days.

I had to go back to my day job today.

My wife spent the whole day alone with 2 sick toddlers who decided today was the day to test the limits.

I came home to chaos.

Kids yelling.

Exhausted wife.

I had to go straight into enforcer mode.

The rest of the night sucked.

Not exactly the anniversary we planned.

This is exactly why I’m building what I’m building.

Not to buy fancy stuff or flex for social media.

For days like today.

So we can celebrate our anniversary instead of just survive it.

I subscribe to the “extreme ownership” philosophy that every outcome you achieve (or don’t) is directly controlled by you.

I know there are outside forces.

But whether you build the life you want or not is totally up to you.

And I have a lot working against me.

I can make the day job excuse all I want.

But that’s mine to deal with cause guess what?

I’m not where I want to be yet.

I AM a hell of a lot closer than I was this time last year.

And it doesn’t really matter whether I have a day job or not.

Because I’m not giving myself another fucking option.

I will not beat my body down at a job for another 30 years. I won’t spend the rest of my life being the stressed about money dad/husband who can’t give my family the best version of me.

I will put the lake in my backyard.

Or I will die trying.

I don’t have any other option.

So here’s to 9 years with my best friend.

Even on the hard days.

Especially on the hard days.
