When you look back on the decisions that mattered most in your life, how many times did you know what the right thing was before you chose the easy thing instead?

Most of us know when we're taking the easy way out.
We feel it.
We rationalize it afterward.
It's not worth the fight.
Someone else will handle it.
That's above my pay grade.
It's always been this way.
I don't want to get involved.
They're a good person.
It's really not that big of a deal.
I'll deal with it later.

And every individual decision seems insignificant.
Until you make that same choice fifty times.
Then you've built a culture.
Or a relationship.
Or a career.
Or a life.
That's the rabbit hole.

What are you avoiding right now because doing the right thing would be harder?

I’m down to the last six hardcover copies of Two Dark Thirty I have available on the website.

If you’ve been thinking about picking one up, now’s the time.

Two Dark Thirty is built from real stories, hard-earned lessons, failures, successes, and experiences from the fire and EMS world, all focused on becoming better leaders, instructors, and teammates.

Once these six are gone, this hardcover inventory is gone.

Nothing should stop you from chasing your goals and your dreams.

Nothing should stop you from doing what is right, what is true, and what is just.

Nothing worth having is simply given to you. You have to go out and earn it. Earn the opportunity. Earn the progress. Earn the life you want to live.

So nothing will be regretted at the end of it.
