Don’t Wait to Enjoy It

Look, life’s always going to throw us one more thing to chase.

The bigger house, the fatter paycheck, a future where things “finally” settle down. But here’s the truth — time doesn’t slow down, and these little moments with your family?

They’re not going to last forever.

Take a look around. The life you’re living right now, with the messy house, the playing kids, the endless to-do list — it’s probably the life you once dreamed of. Soak it up, every single crazy, beautiful part of it.

Don't wait for “someday” to enjoy what you’ve got right now. Because someday, you’ll look back and realize these were the good old days.

Sam Walton

Sam Walton might have built one of the world’s largest retail empires with Walmart and Sam’s Club, but his legacy goes beyond low prices and big stores. Sam was a humble, hardworking dad who always made family a priority, even as he reshaped the retail landscape. He raised his kids with the same values that he built his business on: respect, hard work, and humility.

One of Sam's core beliefs was that “high expectations are the key to everything,” and he taught his children to set big goals and never shy away from hard work. But he also believed in staying connected to the people who mattered most. Even as Walmart was booming, Sam famously drove a pickup truck and lived a modest life, showing his kids that success isn’t about flashy things — it’s about character and integrity.

Sam’s biggest lesson? No one succeeds alone. He made a point of involving his family in his business journey, showing them the value of teamwork and gratitude for those who support you. Read up on Sam here.

1% Better Every Day: Small Wins, Big Gains

Here’s a story to keep in your back pocket: British cycling was a total underdog for nearly a century. They hadn’t won a Tour de France in over 100 years.

But in 2003, they hired a coach, Dave Brailsford, who was all about “the aggregation of marginal gains”—fancy talk for making small, 1% improvements in dozens of areas.

The takeaway? Small changes stack up. Want to upgrade your dad bod? Start with 1% shifts—maybe that’s 10 extra pushups, cutting down on late-night snacks, or just going to bed a little earlier. Over time, those micro-adjustments compound into big results. So, here’s your mission: focus on those small wins, and watch the gains add up.

Get Involved: Family Volunteering Ideas for November

November’s the month for gratitude—and a perfect time to show the kids what giving back looks like.

Here’s how to get the family involved:

• Food Bank Shift: Head to a local food bank and help pack boxes. Kids love organizing and will feel like they’re making a big impact.

• Park Cleanup: Grab some gloves and bags and tackle a nearby park or trail. It’s simple, and the kids will love seeing their handiwork every time you return.

• Help a Neighbor: From raking leaves to delivering a warm meal, lending a hand to a neighbor in need shows kids how to spot ways to help.

• Make Care Kits: Pack small bags with essentials for those in need—socks, snacks, hygiene items—and add a handwritten note or drawing from the kids.

• Bake Sale for a Cause: Kids bake, sell, and choose a charity to donate to. It’s giving back with a sprinkle of fun.

Volunteering as a family isn’t just good for the community—it’s one of those traditions the kids will carry with them forever.
