On Friday, I received some news about my full time job that is not all good. The long and short of it is that in December I will have to reapply for my position and have a new boss…and possibly a pay cut.
As I moped around the house a couple of days later I received a text message from a friend that he is thinking of closing his business after loosing his biggest client. I immediately stopped feeling sorry for myself and texted back:
“You haven’t failed until you quit trying. Life is a series of choices & I am sure whatever you choose will be the right path for you…but there is always a way.”
Indeed…good advice even for myslef. Life is full of choices. A series of actions and reactions. But, sometimes, intertwined between those choices are moments. Some of mine that immediately spring to mind are: My first kiss, Jamming to blaring records in a dark room with my dad, My first day of college, My last day of college, My wedding day, Buying our first home, The birth of our three children, starting my first business, surviving the failure the same business.
In times like these it is comforting to remember those little moments and I am happy to have found this video to remind me that there are many more to come.
