TBT

Ok, I decided to go with the TBT theme this morning so I could show this:

That’s a picture of me flying over my cousin’s birthday party when I was about 19.

   I was home on leave, from Ft. Bragg, where I served with the mighty 82nd Airborne Division.

I share the pic and background to say this.

   I can’t fly like that anymore; and, in fact, there are a lot of things that I can’t do like I did when I was a young paratrooper.

But there are also a lot of things that I can do now that I couldn’t do then. 

So, today I am talking to all my friends reading who can’t do some things that they once could.

   What are you better at today?

Don’t focus on what you lost with youth; focus on what you gained with age.

  Don’t focus on what you can’t do; focus on what you can.

For me one of the joys of next chapters is mentoring younger leaders.

  I am so much better at leadership, relationship, communication, teaching and life than I was even a decade or two ago- and with that I am able to better to sow.

My young Sensei get the benefit of my mentorship in all of these areas, in addition to the martial arts and the martial arts business.

Chances are, you’re way better too.

   We may not be able to jump no ‘mo.

But leverage all you can do!

You’ve a whole lot of followers counting on you!

Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
