Got this from an old Facebook friend. All I could answer was ADHD and no sleep. Also, 3 kids and not two. Not sure what else to tell him. I build my life with intention, just like the book would tell me to do. Believe me, it's not magic or rocket science.

What if the life you've worked so hard to build isn't the life you actually wanted? That doesn't mean you've failed. It means it's time to look at the plans. 🏠 The Blueprint: Build a Life That Feels Like Home is OUT NOW! 📚 Currently available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

Taking apart a LEGO house doesn’t destroy the bricks. You still have the pieces—and now you know something about building. Changing direction in life works that way too. This week’s Emotional Honesty Project: youtu.be/bcVoi5aBDGY #EmotionalHonesty

When does planning stop being preparation and start becoming an attempt to control everything? That's the question we're exploring with The Grounds Crew after this morning's Sunday Morning Coffee. Because even the best pilot can't control the wind. Come join the conversation. ☕🚀 patreon.com/TheGroundsCrew/p… #EmotionallyHonest

I get a few views on my posts, but not a lot. No interaction though. A like or two, tops. It's like even my friends if they see me scroll right on past. It's like real life and on here are exactly the same. If Thanos snapped and only I ceased to exist, it wouldn't even get noticed. Maybe I should just post website stuff and nothing else. DMs with people who used to answer are a waste of time. Personal relationships are overrated anyway.

What do i bring to the table? Grilled ribeyes.

Life isn't a LEGO set. 🧱 You don't have to follow the instructions, and you certainly don't have to build what's on the box. New video about changing the plans, building a life that feels like yours, and celebrating the launch of my new book, The Blueprint! ☕📚 🎬 youtu.be/bcVoi5aBDGY #EmotionallyHonest #LEGO

Changing Direction Doesn’t Mean Starting From Zero If you take apart a LEGO house, you haven’t destroyed the bricks. Changing direction doesn’t erase the years, skills, or experience you already have. You can appreciate what the old plan taught you without pretending it was perfect—and you don’t have to tear down everything you’ve built just because one part isn’t working. youtube.com/shorts/jjX-pmc5I… The Blueprint: Build a Life That Feels Like Home is available now on Amazon and included with Kindle Unlimited: mikekerklin.com/blueprint.ht…
