Panning for Gold

A lot of life is like being a 49er back in the day—standing in the river, sifting through the mud.

Most of what you scoop up isn’t gold. It’s rocks. Sediment. Noise.

But with patience and persistence, every now and then—you hit pay dirt.

Life works the same way.

The right people. The right work. The right pursuits.

You won’t find them in every pan.

Most of it won’t fit you. Most of it won’t build you.

But keep sifting.

Because when you find the gold, it changes everything.
