Five things I want you to do this week. Not next year. Not someday. This week.”

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.”
