Good morning to the last day of 2019 and the last day of the decade. What an unbelievable year and decade. I could never have imagined in 2010 that I would be doing what I am doing today. Life is amazing and awesome. What an amazing force we get live each day.

Your goals are not short term investments, that is what you have a financial adviser for. Goals are for the long run, meaning the lifetime run. There are no finishing lines when it comes to goals and achieving them. Goals are meant to be built upon each and every goal. There are no shortcuts or gimmicks or fads that will outlast the long run. The shortcuts and fads all fade away and then reappear under some new marketing branding. They never gain traction and are only meant to make money for the person or group who created them.

The long run is a lifestyle. The long run is about making your goals a lifelong commitments. It is about doing something meaningful in your life that will make a difference everyday. It is about continuous positive growth even when you fail. It is about not giving up even when you fail. It is about learning and adapting and moving forward. It is about waking up each morning and saying "I get to do this". Even on the days when you feel like crap and don't want to do the work, you drag your ass up and get it done because it is now part of your life requirements. The long road is not the easy road. You chose this lifestyle because you don't want it to be easy, you want the long run to be life fulfilling. You want to take the long run because you know life feels so much better. 

This feeling is not a shortcut, fad or gimmick. It is the true and real life you want and deserve to live.
