Life has four seasons. Spring is easy growth, summer is where ambition crashes into reality and teaches you humility, fall is when earlier work finally pays off, and winter is the most joyful period of deep relationships and serving others.

We have seasons of our life. 0 to 21 is springtime. It's easy to grow, even if you had to work like I did to help your family. Still, if it was a war, I wasn't going to war yet, right? You're being fed information, being supported. 22 to 42 is kind of like the summer where you get tested. You walk in thinking you're invincible. You're 21 years old, you're going to be president of the United States, you're going to be a multi-billionaire, and you're going to have 100 relationships simultaneously, and everyone's going to be happy. Then you turn 32, 33, 34, 35, and you're like, shit, I can't even manage one relationship effectively and I'm not a billionaire. What the hell is going on? You get humbled. But you're the soldier of society. If during that time, 22 to 42, there's a war, you're going to war. And so that's the area of life that's the most challenging for most people. You get to 43 to 63, that's fall. That's the reaping time. If you worked hard in the spring and summer, you're going to reap. Somebody wants to give you a loan and because you got a pulse, you don't even have a job, you know, they want you to buy a piece of real estate, they're willing to do it. We those days. Then after reaping— so at this stage of life, my bet is you can do more with your pinky than when you work 20-hour days. You still work 20-hour days, but now you're producing that much more, right? Same for me. You go 64 to 84, 64 to 104, 64 to 120, the oldest living humans, wherever you live to, that's the winter season. But that's the season where there's the most joy in my entire life, because one, you have relationships that are people you've loved for 30 years, 40 years. I mean, there's nothing that comes close to that. You know who you are. And I'm not here for everybody. I'm not the right style for everyone. Pretend to be, but I know my shit and you know your stuff. I respect you, respect me. That's cool. It's a different world. There's none of that push anymore. It's just, I want to serve. Instead of like giant mission statements, hey, I used to have— now my mission is really simple. How can I help?
