Happiness is having a younger brother who is taller than you.

Today is my brother’s 41st birthday so I went in search of an inspirational “brother” quote and found a bunch of super sappy ones and then this random one that doesn’t really make sense, but is true in our case so I figured it was better than something corny about being best friends forever.

It has been a tremendous blessing in my life to have Bill as my brother.

Jim Rohn describes our family units as “the inner circle” and that as long as this inner circle is ok we can take on any challenge.

Bill’s always been a part of that for me. Meaghan and the kids have always been the “they’ll love me if even if it all went bad”, but Uncle Bill has been my “he’ll take good care of me when the zombies take over” person.

What’s the point, Jake?

The point is two fold:

1. Don’t forget to take care of your inner circle. Take special care of those people and those relationships.
2. Get somebody in your inner circle that is well prepared for the zombie apocalypse. It’s really not worth to get all prepared yourself, but you should definitely know somebody who thinks it is.

Make it a great day.
