Five things I want you to do this week. Not next year. Not someday. This week.”
- Reflect and Write
Take 10 minutes and write down one lesson that’s been shaping your life. Don’t just think it—write it. When you put it on paper, it becomes real. - Share a Story
Tell one of your children, grandchildren, or even a close friend something they may not know about you. Your stories are part of their inheritance—don’t hold them back. - Take One Step Toward Health
Skip the fried food. Drink more water. Walk an extra 15 minutes. Small steps add up, but you’ve got to start. - Practice Excellence, Not Perfection
That thing you’ve been sitting on because it’s not “ready”? Just take the next step. Progress beats perfection every time. - Invest in Your Future Self
Describe who you want to be remembered as. Write it down in one sentence. Then ask yourself—what can I do today to move closer to that version of me?
“That’s your assignment. Don’t just listen—apply it. Because wisdom unused is just information. But wisdom applied—that’s transformation.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
