It’s our son Jim’s 8th birthday tomorrow, and I simply can’t believe how quickly the time has gone.
It might not feel quite like yesterday that he arrived – the lines on my face and the dark under my eyes is a concrete testament to the fact that it was longer ago than that – but it really doesn’t feel too long ago that I was holding him in my arms for the first time.
These past eight years have absolutely flown by, and I’ve been reliably informed by older and wiser people than me that the next eight will go even quicker.
Time flies. It really does.
We’re going through September at a rate of knots, and before you know it we’ll be carving pumpkins, crunching through toffee apples, then putting the star on the top of the tree.
Then it’ll be Auld Lang Syne, New Year’s Resolutions, Dry January, and another year, which’ll pass by even quicker than this one.
You’ll be familiar with the adage that, “Life’s too short”, but I’d like to introduce you to another today:
“Life is not a dress rehearsal” – a beautifully succinct summary I first heard from a long-time client and great friend of mine, Jacqui Mann of J Mann Associates, who’d had it passed down to her by her dad.
Life isn’t a dress rehearsal – the show is on right now, and it goes too fast for us not to make the most of it.
And “making the most of it” will mean different things to different people – maybe it’s time you took serious action to grow your business, or maybe it’s time you took Fridays off.
Whatever it is, life’s too short just to drift through another year not doing more of what brings you joy, and not taking action to deliver the change you want.
And to that end, I’ll wish you a happy weekend, and start preparing for our beautiful boy’s Birthday – catch you next week.
