Losers love to talk about "work-life balance" as a way to avoid doing the work required to reach their long-term goals. They think they can have it all. Chase big goals... Maintain a comfortable pace... Clock out at 5 every day... Never miss a night out... ...and still somehow end up winning. That isn't how this works. Nobody who's ever built anything real lived a balanced life while they were doing it. They spent every possible minute they could working toward a vision nobody else believed in. They were obsessed. ...and that's the truth nobody wants to hear because it means surrendering all the crap you want in the present for everything you want far more in the future. Real balance comes after the work. Not before. Not during. After. Start thinking of balance differently. It can't be measured on a daily... Weekly... Monthly... Or even yearly basis. It must be measured over the course of your life. Success isn't supposed to be easy or balanced. It comes at a cost. That cost is living an "unbalanced" life by giving it your all for 10-15 years. Oftentimes longer. Only then can you experience the freedom and "balance" you're looking for. How badly do you want it? Ask yourself that question instead of how you can make the time for every little thing you like right now. Work-life balance now equals broke-life balance for the rest of your life. Is that what you want? I didn't think so. ~ Andy Frisella

Trying out one of my New OTAA ties. I mean I have plenty of them, but if they wanted me to have more who am I to say no. I had around 30 to select 3 from and this is the first to get a run on. The Herringbone has some great texture and it is easy to tie and get the dimple in. Todays outfit consists of; M.J.

Got my self some pocket squares. I looked up how to fold them correctly I put it in my jacket and I just feel it looks weird. Let me know what you think.

I am curious to know that when you leave your house are you really prepared? Do you have everything that you need or think that you need? I know that some have their EDC (Everyday Carry) that they keep on them in their pants or coats. But my question is this do you carry them on you or do you have something that you carry them in? For me. I have two briefcases that I carry with me whenever I leave the house that I carry everything that I need with me. What do you carry?

My pants and sweaters currently just get piled up on top of the dresser with it sprawled out after the first time wearing it. It's definitely part of my inattentive ADHD but if there was a more desirable way to store them beyond a small, cramped closet, that is easy to quickly use, I'm sure I'd start doing that instead. I didn't have a lot of room to work with for closet space since it's already small and the wife's dresses take up 3/4 of it.
