You cannot comply your way to freedom.

Going through our edc bags for our vehicles a few weeks ago, and I hand my son a small flowered zipper bag. He says , “What’s this?” I say, “Just put it in your glove box.” He opens it up and inside is a chapstick, fingernail clippers, nail file, two pantiliners, and two tampons. He looks at me shocked and says “Seriously Dad?” I say, “Yup! You’ve got a girlfriend now. Trust me kid you’ll thank me later.” Two weeks later: he thanks me. #LifeLessons. #grownostr

Do your best. You may fail. You may succeed. If you can’t put forth that kind of effort, why bother? No one has time for half-assed efforts. #onepercentbetter

“That’s the way we’ve always done it.” doesn’t cut it anymore Jimmy. That way of thinking is dead. #bebetter #dobetter #grownostr

Over-thinking is fear. Nothing else but that sneaky little bitch that tries to throttle your ambition. Stop over-thinking and just do the thing. Learn, grow and conquer. #dowork #grownostr

I love tourist season in Alberta. 😳🤣🤣 #grownostr

We have access to all these amazing “time savers” and yet we’re still some of the most unproductive people on the planet. #northamericaislazy #grownostr

Holy crap, do we need this! #SouthernAlberta, #grownostr

I was told once at a baseball coaching clinic, “It’s not our knowledge to keep. The transfer of knowledge is the most important part of succession.” The gatekeeper mentality is both stupid and detrimental to everything. #learnerskeeplearning #teacherskeepteaching #grownostr

It was then that having friends over for game night took a hard right turn. #gunny #grownostr
