The One Constant In Life

Last year I turned 50.

I remember a time not that long ago when I thought that 50 was "old".

Boy was I wrong!

I don’t feel old. I would like to think that I don't look old. I certainly do not act old and with another birthday soon approaching, I continue to learn that being "old" has little to do with age, but it is more of a mindset.

At 50 I feel like I am just getting started and I am looking forward to this next decade of life with great anticipation and excitement.??

My life and my marriage tanked in my 40’s.

Now . . . I am in a new and vibrant marriage with Susanne and we continue to learn from our past, but move forward together in our new marriage.

In my previous years, my focus was on professional accomplishments, accumulation of wealth and the building of my "personal brand".

When all of that came crashing down, I realized that life will be best lived when I continue to stay grounded in who God created me to be. And with that as my focus, my life will be extraordinary.

I have hopes about what the next ten, twenty, or thirty years will bring if I am lucky enough to experience them, but will not live in the hope of someday, but will live vibrantly today!

Today is a gift.?

I will unwrap today and see what it holds.

My son and daughter-in-law have a sign hanging in their house that says "live simply, love abundantly".

This sounds like a pretty good thought to carry with me as I live today and excitedly anticipate what many tomorrows may hold.

What can you do to make sure you are present and enjoying something out of each day and not living on the promise of someday?

On the journey with you,

Carlos
