Are you just a drop in the Ocean?

I read a quote, that led to a thought, that led to a post.

“You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.”

The famous poet, Rumi, said this. It’s one of my favorite thoughts. More and more I’m realizing that much of life’s gold lives at the intersection of contrasting thoughts.

The idea that we are all small and insignificant is one I believe in. Our existence in this world…

The Mirror in the Dictionary

Which word in the dictionary should have a little mirror next to it? This one...

  I hope you read this and it makes you feel special.

It’s true that none of us ever asked to be here. We had no choice, no opinion, and no input; but do you know just how crazy it is that you’re alive reading this right now? Well, I looked it up quick because I thought it was important to remind you just how much of a miracle you are.

The probability of that exact sperm that had half your name…

Welp, there really is no explanation for why I'm wearing a little rope for a belt. Hesam looks like he's ready for the PGA tour and I look like I'm about to go boating. I know it kind of looks like I'm wearing a short-sleeve and shorts jean onesie/one piece, but I can assure you that I'm not 😳🙈 I will say though, my Dumb & Dumber Lloyd Christmas bangs are crispy, so thank you lady at @greatclips, I remember always tipping you one dollar cash after every haircut 💸. You'll note Hesam has two distinct eyebrows and they're on point, while my subtle uni-brow is starting to birth, and of course my trademark cheeks which I'm thinking about getting insured 🤔💭. I can't say that I remember this day specifically, but seeing this picture brings back the joy and happiness I remember having with my brother as kids. And although he looks a tad Filipino here, and I clearly look like my own rare, super-race altogether, we were both little angels that apparently buttoned up every button on their shirt. The top button may have also been to hide the possible chest hair I had at this age and you simply were not ready for all that sexiness. I love going through old pictures and laughing. Inspirational closer: 👉🏽 Your past helps make sense of whom you've become, but it doesn't define who you are or who you will be, your future does 👍🏽 #brothers #littleangels 👼🏽👼🏽 #ropebelt #boatinglife #pga #denimonesie #onepiece #dumbanddumber #unibrow #trademarkcheeks #insureyourassets #topbutton #chesthair #persian #photoshoot #cheeks #dimples #bangs #greatclips #cashtips #cheesin #past #future #inspiration #tbt

Mom, it's hard to believe that your beauty on the inside is twice as stunning as your beauty on the outside. You constantly drown Hesam and I with love as your heart is bigger than an ocean. I speak for both of us when I say that you are our biggest inspiration, and that we are more proud than you will ever know to simply call you Mom. Happy Mother's Day Mommy joon, you are our world. ❤️❤️ Love, your two boys; Hemmy and Hessy. #happymothersday #mothersday #mommasboy #mymomisbeautiful #bestmomever #butforrealmymomisstunning And Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mothers out there; the love we learn in this world all starts with you. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

There's no rush like being on live TV! 😎🎥 Thank you tmj4 for inviting me to chat about my Dos Equis trip, you guys are great!

It's a special feeling when you see hard work pay off. I'm humbled to say that I've opened up my first restaurant; MOVIDA. This journey, like most entrepreneurial journeys, was one that I'll look back on and smile thinking about the absolute craziness it took to get here. To my fellow entrepreneurs 👉 it isn't a question of if, it's a matter of when. 👈 Your hard work, your resilience, your courage to fail, and your unwillingness to settle for average will inspire others and pay off in ways you never imagined - just trust yourself and keep chasing. I was very fortunate to have an amazing team/partners, and a huge thank you to all that supported us along the way 😃 #movida #entrepreneur #mke #walkerspoint #somehowiownarestaurant #bucketlist #milwaukee #restauranteur #keepchasing (at MOVIDA)

Chase your Cheetah: A Story about the Gazelle Inside You

A ridiculous little story for you dreamers out there; Chase your Cheetah: A Story about the Gazelle Inside You #chase

This is a post about the chase and the magic that lies within it.

There are two types of people; those that have big dreams and those that have big dreams and chase them.  Ambition is directly correlated to the magnitude of your goals; the bigger the goal, the more ambitious the person.  Without action, though, ambition means nothing.  When ambition and action meet – character is built, stories…

It's true. The flowers worth picking don't grow where you stand. It's the moments you decided to step out of your comfort zone that will be the beginning of all great things. You don't have to take my word for it, but if you want to save time, then yes take my word for it and go do something that scares you a bit, that's the direction opportunity is. #BraveryBreedsGreatness #opportunity #stepoutofyourcomfortzone #growth #bravery #action #trustyourself #neversettle #youwillthankyourselflater #greatness #BecomeLivingProof

You may know Hemad Fadaifar as the most interesting bartender in Milwaukee, but his status has been taken to a whole new level as the winner of Dos Equis’ “Stay Thirsty” grant. In his pursuit to become the most interesting man in the world, he will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, explore the Himalayas, and much more.

Although he was born on Long Island and is about to travel the world, he still calls Milwaukee Home, and here’s why;

"Home isn’t a place, it isn’t an address, it’s not where you lay your head at night, it’s not where your mail gets sent to, and it’s not some place you can find on Google Maps. Home is a feeling, not a location. That’s why people say "make yourself at home" - they want you to feel a certain way, regardless of where you are. I call Milwaukee Home because of the humble people, the diverse culture, that Midwest charm, that small "big-city" feel, the constant support it has for it’s community and appreciation for local businesses, and the opportunity it provides individuals to grow for those that are willing to take a chance - that makes me feel "at home". I wasn’t born in Milwaukee, nor do I plan on living here my whole life; however, Milwaukee has made me feel at ease, appreciated, and loved - that’s what home is - that’s why I call Milwaukee Home."
