Wisdom from the past, and present…

“Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.”
― Robin S. Sharma

Robin Sharma is an author who deals primarily in business leadership. His resume of companies he has worked with is not only notable but extensive. He is not a main stream name, many people have no idea who he is and honestly would never need to read his material. Like all good authors he, from time to time gives us a pearl of a quote. Let’s discuss it a little bit.

The quote itself is pretty obvious, how do we parlay this wisdom into the present? We are coming off lockdowns and travel restrictions and the narrative is “let’s get back to normal”. Do you want to go back to the routines you maintained prior to covid? Do you want to live the same year again?

Perhaps for you this is the time to continue the disruption of covid in a positive way. Perhaps changing your “normal” is a good thing. I’ve lived the same year multiple times, it’s easy because routine breeds comfort and comfort swallows time. Think of ways you can change your old normal. Travel more? Get a pet? Volunteer? ?

It’s a great time to change your personal narrative and not fall back into the old normal you used to partake in. Before you know it you will be 75, take me for example… I am closer to 75 now than I am 25. Don’t live the same year over again. Try something new, force yourself, who knows it might be the thing that at 75 you look back on and smile.

Quick post today: A rare commodity that everyone has

One of the rarest commodities in the world is a second chance. Everyone has the ability to give this precious commodity but so few do. Should you? I don’t know, I don’t know the circumstances of your situation. Just remember that this commodity can be one of the greatest gifts you can give and could lead to fantastic future outcomes.

It can also be a huge mistake as it may be squandered and you might feel like a fool. Take a minute today and think about the 5 most important people in your life. I mean the people whom you absolutely would be in pain without. For me? It’s my wife, my 2 kids, my mother and my friend Shane. If something happened (and it has) in life where I was wronged by these people, I would extend to them this extremely rare commodity.

How about you? Is there someone on your list you haven’t extended this commodity to? It’s not easy is it? It’s something only you can give them, are they worth it? Is what they did to the point where they are no longer on your list?

The Human condition is a curious thing and how we cultivate our relationships have dramatic impacts on us throughout our lives. Giving a second chance is a priceless commodity, and you have it to give, are they worth it?
