Who knew five minutes of Moroccan Night Clubs could wreck you? Today’s beatdown proved you don’t have to run far to get a good workout. Thanks for the opportunity <@U790WHUKC> and happy birthday <@U6AS1MBPG>. And great to catch up with our Ruckers at the end.
Remember to celebrate your wins louder than you mourn your losses. Progress deserves more energy than regret. Should’ve, would’ve, and could’ve steal too much joy. The windshield is larger than the rearview mirror for a reason.
Aye!
