Chapter 16 - The Notebook

While cleaning my office, I found Dad's old notebook.

Build something nobody can take from you.

For years, I thought he'd meant property.

Money.

Career.

Security.

Now I understood differently.

The most important thing I'd built wasn't the beach house.

It was the ability to trust my own no.

Nobody could take that unless I handed it away.

I placed Dad's letter inside the notebook.

Then I wrote beneath his sentence:

May you like

And don't be afraid to decide who gets invited inside.
