Patience, My Friend, Patience.
"Patience is the ability to count down BEFORE you blast off." There's a scene that is repeated over and over again in my life. It happens at the gym - I have a barbell in front of me, it is loaded with a significant amount of weight, it is near the end of my workout,... Continue Reading →
