Possible Vs Ideal // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY show art Possible Vs Ideal // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY

Wolf & Iron | Feed the Wolf. Be the Iron.

One logical fallacy I often see -- and have likely committed -- is moving between the possible vs the ideal. What is possible may not always be ideal, but what we promote should always be ideal.

Every man goes through seasons in life: Kids, marriage, job changes, injuries etc. But, it's key to not let those seasons become the standards for how you live. If you lose ground, it's important to regain it.

Ask for What You Want // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY show art Ask for What You Want // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY

Wolf & Iron | Feed the Wolf. Be the Iron.

Here in the South, we seem to have a gentler approach when it comes to negotiating or even asking for simple things. We don't like to offend folks and we also don't like rejection. This results in a lot of hemming and hawing that could be avoided by simply being more direct. Big shoutout to an excellent book . Give it a read!
