Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read

If you’ve ever driven past the J.M. Smucker plant in Lexington, Kentucky, you know the smell. I’m talking about that rich, roasted peanut butter aroma (or burnt peanuts) that clings to the air for miles.

Turns out, this factory isn’t just making your lunch tastier, it’s cranking out more peanut butter than anywhere else on the planet.

Every State’s Most Legendary Dessert

We’re ashamed. And we need to get this off our chest before we spiral deeper into our sugar shame. We’re either all the way on it or all the way off it when it comes to sugar. Right now? All the way on, Dear Riders. Had a mini doughnut yesterday. And a cookie after dinner last night. Okay, fine. It was two mini doughnuts. Happy? Now we’re scrolling through each state’s most legendary dessert and craving the one from Kentucky.

Here's the move: Your mental attitude is your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. You decide.

Got a tough project? Face it like a champ. Training for a marathon? Believe you can finish it. Tell yourself you can’t? Well, you've already lost.

Why bother? Because the right mindset turns obstacles into opportunities.

It fuels resilience, drives success, and keeps you pushing forward when things get tough.

So next time doubt creeps in, remember: your attitude is everything. Choose to believe, then go make it happen.
