So it’s my Birthday a week tomorrow and I hit 40.
Now I don’t know how old you are, but the older I get, the more I feel like, yes, I am running… B-U-T not as fast as I used to 🙂
I guess I ain’t as young as I once was.
… A feeling made worse by the fact, that for the last three nights in a row I’ve woken up at 1.37 AM needing to piss!
Anyway – on the back of all this, and on Friday, I caught up with a friend.
He’s over from Seattle and we haven’t seen each other face-to-face in about 3 years.
So we start talking and the conversation goes like this:
Him: “Wow I can’t believe it’s been 3 years…”
Me: “I know…”
Him: “Don’t take this the wrong way – but you’ve really changed”
Hmmmmm…
Wrong Way?? Changed??
… I should hope so.
It’s been 3 years.
… And I consider that 1,095 days (or opportunities) to grow, develop and move.
After all and as a wise man once said:
“If you ain’t growing your dying”
A statement and standard of honour that most men in our shoes would be wise to read, and then re-read daily.
… Especially right now and while everyone else is set on bunkering down, weathering the storm and putting their head in the sand.
It’s why this week I’d urge you to consider that change is good.
- Strive for it.
- Aim for it.
- Push for it.
It’s the whole point of the game.
Meaning – when someone says to you:
” You’ve changed…”
Smile, relax and smugly mutter back:
“Good. You haven’t, and I’m sad for you…!”
Make More. Provide More. Be More.
