Hey, it’s Alex,
It’s easy to fall into the illusion that we always need more, especially as a restaurant owner and entrepreneur.
I don’t know if it’s a distraction to keep us from realizing who we are, constantly searching through a new sale, binge-watching a new television show, thinking about the next big thing, or doom-scrolling all night long. It feels like there’s no time to sit and reflect on what’s going on around us.
Sometimes, it’s a chain reaction of emotions or pleasure-seeking that gets in the way of self-realization. Having a family has placed a lot more importance on connection for me.
Telling people I love, appreciate, and admire them before it’s too late has become crucial.
Too often, we get caught up with superficial things, and I remember the best moments in the world are a hug from my son, a good conversation with Hiller or Andrew, or simply laughing with my wife.
It’s good to know that material things never bring me as much satisfaction as these connections do.
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” – Pablo Picasso
