The season has been one of stress and unprecedented heartache. But, I’m still here to share my thoughts and my new beliefs through it all. As most of us are endowed with skills, we never tap into them, and the time is now to do that and not put it off until another day. Every minute of each day, we have an opportunity to sit down and produce something of worth. Anything that you can contribute to your legacy is a worthwhile pursuit. What it takes is your willingness to do just that while you can. I have spent much of my adult life preparing for those vintage years to remind myself how much I have done. To reflect on your past is a test to see your achievements and then figure out what it took for you to reach that stage in your life.
Since my retirement in 2004, I’ve made it my business to stay busy doing me, but it hasn’t been easy. Those hard times, those challenging times, were a test of my resilience and my commitment to move forward. Your continued journey through life should be one of re-inventing yourself by finding your passion and making sure you are pursuing that passion every day.
I have clients who tell me often that they’re bored. When I ask what they do daily, many say nothing. But, of course, if you’re doing nothing, boredom will come and remain until you find something to do. Just imagine how your life would be if you were stricken with a physical challenge limiting your activity and the question for yourself now is, why didn’t I do this before? Remember, what you leave in this world should be more than what you take from it. The struggles along the way are only meant to shape you.
