To look at a calendar from a year ago to today is like being on a different planet. This day last year was ruled by uncertainty, fear, and feeling like there was nothing you could do about anything. Which is a complete 180 from where we sit today with everything rocking and rolling at a record pace. There is no doubt the difference between what was happening a year ago and what is happening today definitely makes you thankful for everything in your life.
It is also amazing all that you can handle if you really make yourself focus. From buying and selling things, working on new and big deals, and building a level of talented people so interested in success that they become unstoppable is what my focus has been and has me thriving. Even when I take a moment (or a week) to chill out on spring break with my family, I still find my mind working at warp speed. And it’s not working at warp speed on problems, but working on how things can be better and what some of the next moves are going to be.
You always need to take time to take a break. Something I really didn’t believe in and had a hard time doing throughout most of my career but have come to believe in the importance of taking time to not only take a break for myself, but to give others a break from me. That may sound a little like a farce but not just giving myself space but giving other people space has really made a difference in the speed and ability that people want to achieve.
Taking a minute to chill also gives me time to just be thankful. Again, something that I used to have a hard time doing because I was always looking for more. Now, even as more still becomes more… it is fun to take a moment and take it all in.
