Howdy, Zack here. There is no yesterday. There is only today. We plan for the future. We reflect back to the past. Yet, the most important moment is now. It's easy to get caught up in thinking about the future or reminiscing about the past. I'm guilty of this, too. My wife, Gwen, and our kids will tell you so. They know how much I love seeing the old photos of 'when' scroll across the Apple TV. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't overshadow the importance of the present moment. On the way to our friend's local coffee shop this morning, I was reminded of how precious each day is. My close friend has just returned from a cancer clinic in Mexico. In the US, the system gave up on him, prescribing hospice and ready to pay out his life insurance, even though he's only 44 with two kids and a wife at home. Yet, the doctors in Mexico treated him like he was worth the time, money, and attention to save his life. After three weeks, his cancer hasn't grown, and he's shown improvements in a number of areas. There's hope for the future. And, believe me, he's cherishing each day with his family. It shouldn't take things like cancer to wake us up. Yet, unfortunately, too many of us are asleep at the wheel. We waste hours a day on social media, we eat poorly, and we don't take care of our bodies. And we put off important things until tomorrow. 3 STEPS
Just remember:
This moment is what matters most. Use it wisely. 🙏

Howdy, Zack here. Are you navigating a challenging valley in life right now? Are things not going as planned? Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? These moments can be tough, to say the least. I know. I've been there. We all have. But they also offer profound lessons and opportunities for incredible growth. Whether you follow a particular faith or not, the wisdom found in Biblical teachings and Stoic philosophy can offer valuable guidance through these difficult times. They emphasize...
Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...
Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...
