As we get older, our inability to accept problems and learn from them worsens.

We think life should be perfect at some point in the future. But if you seek a perfect life, you have a better chance of finding gold at the end of every rainbow.

Life isn’t meant to be perfect.

Your life will try to teach you lessons, whether you like them or not, and those lessons are put on repeat until you learn how to accept and deal with them.

Death is a great teacher.

My wife, three kids, and I went to Colombia to visit family so our children could celebrate a long life and see their great-grandmother.

I was sitting on the balcony overlooking the luscious, green mountains when I received a text from my mom, “I’m not alright. I need to tell you something.”

At that moment, I knew my Dad was in trouble.

Without hesitation, I picked up the phone and calmly dialed my mom. My heart rate began to rise. My mom answered. I could tell she had been crying. “Your Dad has been coughing blood, and the Doctors confirmed he has stage 3 or 4 lung cancer.”
