I went to a holiday party last weekend at dear friends I’ve known for over 20 years. Some faces were blasts from the past and many new faces alike. It was a lovely gathering – all around. One of the highlights was meeting the father of someone I worked with at a company eons ago. He recently turned 100. Yep, he’s ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
When I heard he was at the party, I wanted to meet him. I had to wait awhile as others wanted to sit next to him on the couch too. As soon as the seat became vacant, I made a beeline over to meet him.
He was present, looked into my eyes and his mental faculties were intact. He told me about his career and that he married twice. He said one of the hardest things is not having any friends his age anymore.
What an amazing, kind man.
Here’s the thing:
We don’t have to wait until we’re 100 to stop living by the “shoulds”. We don’t have to wait until we’re 100 to exude confidence. We don’t have to wait to be present with ourselves and everyone we meet. We don’t have to wait to understand one another.
We don’t have to wait to feel real joy on a daily basis.
We don’t have to wait. No matter whether you’re in 30’s, 40’s, 50’s or 60’s, start Now.
Is there something or someone you’ve been waiting for?
