“Every day the clock resets. Your wins don’t matter. Your failures don’t matter. Don’t stress on what was, fight for what could be.”
-Sean Higgins
I turned 61-years-old on October 4th. I fielded and appreciated myriad “Happy Birthday” phone messages, emails, Facebook posts, etc. throughout the day. At 5 p.m., I suddenly realized that I had not yet heard from someone who was largely responsible for bringing me into this world, my Mom. So I sent her a message: “Hi Mom. Does 10/4 ring any bells with you?” She immediately recognized she had forgotten it was my Birthday and I reassured and thanked her. Most importantly, we had fun with it: I posted LinkedIn, Facebook, and email messages saying “You know you’re 61-years-old when you have to call your mother to remind her to call you on your Birthday.”
Change happens. Embrace it. Have fun with it.
