Day 25 – Don’t Miss It

April 25, 2026 — Saturday (Sabbath)

It was raining.

Stuck inside.
No plans.
No productivity.

Just me… and my daughter.

A Different Kind of Decision

I had things I could have done.

Work to catch up on.
Tasks to move forward.

But I made a decision:

Put the phone down.
Be present.

Why That Matters

Because I’ve lived the other side.

The grind.

80+ hour weeks.
Seven days a week.
Always building.
Always pushing.

Always “on.”

What That Costs

You don’t notice it at first.

Because you’re chasing something.

Growth.
Success.
Momentum.

But over time…

You start missing what matters most.

The Reality Most People Don’t Talk About

I’ve heard it from other entrepreneurs:

You’re busy building your life…

And one day you look up…

And your kids are grown.

And you missed it.

Slowing Down on Purpose

So yesterday, I did the opposite.

No work.

No distractions.

Just time.

The Moment

We played with a small remote control car.

That’s it.

Nothing complicated.
Nothing impressive.

But she was laughing.
Running around.
Completely present.

And I Thought to Myself

I don’t ever want to miss this.

What Sabbath Is Really About

It’s not just stopping work.

It’s resetting your soul.

The Pattern That Was Set

“On the seventh day… He rested.” Genesis 2:2

Not because He needed to…

But because we would.

What I’m Learning

You can work hard.

You should work hard.

Six days.

Build.
Create.
Move forward.

But one day…
