Wade's Life Lessons
In a groundbreaking move, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has banned noncompete agreements nationwide. This means that most workers are now free from contractual restrictions that previously prevented them from joining direct competitors.

Remember that advice, good or bad, can be your lesson in life.
Reflecting on the past, I’ve learned the importance of expressing feelings and prioritizing relationships over material pursuits. My brother-in-law, a cherished yet unconventional figure in my life, taught me that embracing and forgiving the quirks of those we love enriches our lives. His passing reminded me that open communication and forgiveness are vital, as they leave us with treasured memories and a sense of peace. It’s a lesson in valuing the genuine connections we share with others, regardless of their imperfections.
Life’s unpredictability often leaves us feeling directionless or overwhelmed. As we age, we recognize the importance of living intentionally, distinguishing between rest and idleness, and understanding the value of recharging both physically and mentally. It’s crucial to make decisions based on personal reflection rather than external influences, and to appreciate our inherent worthwhile considering the impact of our actions on our own lives and goals.
Helping others can be rewarding, but it’s important to recognize when it’s being taken for granted. People often ask for help without intending to reciprocate, leaving us feeling used when they don’t show gratitude or disappear after getting what they want. While we naturally want to assist family and friends, setting boundaries is crucial to avoid being exploited. Reflecting on our own behavior and discussing concerns with trusted individuals can provide valuable perspective, helping us balance generosity with self-care.
