Two years ago, as we watched the Warriors win the fourth NBA title that I’ve seen in my lifetime, my dad turned to my brother and I and reminded us to enjoy this moment. A lifelong sports fan, he’s seen the good, the bad and the ugly from his teams over the years — and nothing, either way, lasted forever.

Amidst the screaming and the cheering from us on the living room couch, I took that to heart — to enjoy the journey as much as the destination, and to really be present in life and take nothing for granted.

As this year winds down, and we head into 2025, what advice do you have for us — or what advice do you need to give to yourself? What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten? I’d love to know.

Please make it a six-word story, a personal short story, with a beginning, middle and end — not six adjectives, not a cliché and not advice.
