Hey Kweenz, it's Regular Guy Friday Burf-day Edition where Kev discusses how to find meaning in the day and also that...we don't control what happens but we do control this. How we react to 'this' dictates how our lives will end up. Be less reachable, have more success and happiness. Why setbacks are 'chosen' for you and better when they happen to you. That moment between stimulus and response. The mindset needed in all decisions in order to be most productive. The Daily Stoic is a must watch on YouTube. Rocky vs Drago is a must watch on Amazon. The former inspires you on how to move forward in life, the latter inspires you to go back and make things right. Both teach us, it's never too late. Regulars Guy and Gal vacation tips, cool moms who make out with frat boys and going home for the holidays while you can.
