To anyone reading this: face your battle. Let the serenity of the outdoors remind you of your strength and the love of family guide your steps. For the greatest victories are not those shouted in triumph but whispered in moments of quiet peace.

The wild calls us to be present, to honor our struggles, and to emerge stronger. I’ve learned that nature, like family, humbles you and lifts you at the same time. It teaches that even the strongest trees bend in the wind, but their roots hold firm.

The samurai spoke of kokoro, the heart and spirit of a warrior. To battle within oneself is to confront doubt, fear, and the relentless pace of modern life. It is the heart of a warrior, though, that keeps us steady—anchored in love for family and the simple joy of shared moments.

Every step I take is an opportunity to show them strength in vulnerability, courage in the face of uncertainty, and gratitude for every sunrise.

Out here, surrounded by the raw beauty of the outdoors, I am reminded of my role as a father. The responsibility to teach my children not just to navigate the trails of a forest but the winding roads of life.

In Japanese philosophy, the concept of kaizen—continuous improvement—teaches us that progress is not achieved in grand leaps but in small, deliberate steps. Like a stream carving through stone, we shape ourselves through persistence and patience.

I have also seen they will also not hire until they have interviewed at least 1 individual from each demographic. Vacant positions for up to 18 months before hiring one of the first individuals however they didn’t wait that long and took another job.

The whole cycle repeated over again.

I have seen these reports, I have seen the decisions being made not to promote from within and to hire individuals based on their demographics and not skill based.

With some corp- they have DEI KPI. They have to hire based on these KPI. When they do and they report them there are financial benefits.

I have literally seen this breakdown. They had a percentage for each category they had to hit.

I thought i heard they are just removing it from the app stores, but technically Americans could keep using it if they already had it.

I’m slow to the game, I’ll be right over 😂
