The Smallest Choices Hold the Greatest Love

My week started with two lessons that reverberated through my being.

The first? The truth will always reveal itself when you're ready to see it.

The second? Love is not in the grand gestures, it’s in the smallest, simplest choices.

One week ago, I made a decision that wasn’t easy, but was clear. I left a space that wasn’t mine. A space where I could have stayed, could have played the part, could have convinced myself there was something there for me.

But there wasn’t.

And for the first time, I didn’t stay out of obligation. I didn’t fight to earn something I didn’t need. I didn’t question my knowing.

I walked away.

And when I stepped back into my life, into my home, into my family, the lesson was waiting for me.

Love is presence. Love is noticing. Love is choosing, again and again, what actually matters.

For years, I fought battles that didn’t belong to me. I resisted things that didn’t need to be resisted. I carried weight that wasn’t mine, because I believed that was the cost of love.

But real love? The kind that lasts, the kind that transforms, the kind that actually builds something?

That love is in the simple, daily choices.

This week, I let go of a resistance I had carried for years. Over what? Things that, in the grand scheme of life, seem so small.

But they weren’t small to her.

They weren’t small to my wife, to the woman who has built this life with me.

And if they weren’t small to her, then they weren’t small at all.

Men, this week’s blog is for you.

Not the version of you that thinks love is about winning. Not the version of you that believes sacrifice is the same as leadership. Not the version of you that is still holding onto battles that don’t need to be fought.

This is for the version of you that is ready to make the simplest, most powerful choice of all:

To love the woman in front of you the way she actually needs to be loved.

A Year Ago Today: The Truth I Never Saw Coming
One year ago today, I was in Orlando, sitting in a hospital room with my father. The decision to go was instant. Something deep inside told me I needed to be there. It was only a couple of weeks after I learned I had beat cancer.Only a few days after I saw a future that was mine but looked nothing like my present.And just days before I remembered the truth about my life, starting with my childh...
Who are the Gods of War in your life?
Who are the Gods of War in your life? The ones who kept you small, kept you divided, kept you distracted. The ones who convinced you the fight was between you and the person next to you, when really, they were the ones pulling the strings the whole time. I met some of them this week. Not in some grand, dramatic way. But in the quiet realizations, the moments of clarity, the threads I finally pu...
Humiliation: The Blog I Didn’t Want to Write
This week’s blog wasn’t supposed to exist. I don’t force the blog. That’s not how it works. I ask for it, and when the topic surfaces, I accept it. That’s how it’s always been. But this week? Night after night, I asked. Nothing. Maybe I’d had something, a few strings to pull on, a couple of fleeting ideas, but nothing that felt like the blog. It was weird. Why wasn’t the blog flowing this week?...
