50 is not a bad time to change everything

Felt like having some fun and challenging myself in a creative, never-done-this-before way.

 

While cycling home from the gym yesterday, had an hour (3x longer than promised) phone conversation with somebody i’ve never met.

He’s in his mid-40s and wants to take control of his work life and be his own boss and do something amazing and make a contribution to society using his skill set and experience.

Hours later, in the early afternoon, as i laid down to take a nap it hit me… i was exactly where he was when i decided to change everything and start a small business.

That was seven years ago.

i was 50.

Insight: Using age as an excuse or barrier to catching a dream is an unproductive idea.

It’s everything, or so they say

Exploring nearby neighborhoods by bicycle last week. My bike tire lower right. 🙂

 

A side trip near the end of a 25-mile bike ride took me through an enormous apartment complex near our home. Was scouting out short cuts for when i’m running.

Didn’t find a short cut due to a comprehensive perimeter wall, but did discover a plea from one neighbor to another:

Quit letting your dog crap by other’s windows and patios. Pick it up.

Would it be too much to ask the author to add the words please and thank you?

Attitude is everything. Or so they say.
