I recently had a couple visits from old friends and it was certainly nice to see these folks again. We are all getting older and we are looking at the future in different ways.
One of these people, in his mid-70’s, is still enjoying running his small business. He is happy and looking forward to the future. The second man is retired and has led a major not-for-profit organization and is also enjoying life. It was nice seeing these folks and how great their attitudes remain.
Each year, no matter what our age, we have a choice. Do we look toward tomorrow with enthusiasm or do we view the future negatively. No matter which direction we choose to travel we will be correct.
Each year I try to consider and appreciate the good things that have occurred in my life. My advice is to try doing that. It will make you feel better about things.
Then I write down my unreasonably outlandish objectives for the coming year. It is crazy, but it’s fun. If you try it you might be surprised how exited you become about the future.
Good luck!
