You can't be new, and improved.
I was new once.
New feels great, usually. It feels fresh.
It's the first time out, that first breath of air.
Things gets better as they improve.
My first kiss was disastrous.
I bumped my nose into her face.
I remember thinking, "This is the kind of experience that scars people for life."
Luckily, I improved over the years.
That's one good thing about getting older,
it gives you time to improve.
It gives me the chance to know what I know,
and know what I don't know.
Now I can admit that I don't know what I don't know,
and when I explore that, it can lead to something new.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
