The harder you work, the luckier you get. But I'm putting myself out there to let these people get in my car, to take those journeys with each one of them. Or it might come in the form of a connection down the road that will pay off in some way, shape, or form. I feel so grateful all day long for little things and big things, but also what comes with that, which is hard for me, is I have no tolerance for people who complain.
