This Week’s Thoughts

The airport where I live just hit 100 degrees- and now, the locals are starting to swarm CVS for spray sunscreen which I have heard officially marks the beginning of summer.

I often think of my childhood each time summer starts and memories of riding bikes to 7/11, eating fresh picked oranges with my sister and building a treehouse with my dad come flooding back- Great memories that I can only hope resemble what my kids will think about when they have a family of their own.

Today, summer for me is different…I am cursed with aspiration, so all I can think about is getting ahead. Whether it’s getting more fit, starting another business, buying another rental, or creating the next best recruiting tool for my company…Summer is my time to leap ahead.

Yes, society says vacation, travel, swim, bbq…and I do that, but I also don’t turn the engine off, ever. Sometimes it stresses me out, that I just can’t go golf, or binge watch Netflix, or have total peace on a day date with my wife…I am always thinking about my next project, and it’s not necessarily about making more money, it’s creating and building something memorable that keeps me up at night - Are any of you like this? Its ok if you aren’t and it’s ok if you are.

I have learned that people will commonly take the path of least resistance, and they will settle into what they justify. I just tend to justify progress over being content.

My true love for summer, is how you can get up at 5AM and the sun is out already, how you can push hard while people are out of town, and how you can expand when society is telling you to contract.

For me, the thought of endless summer, only comes after endless sacrifice. Seen the movie?

I won’t be like this forever, and you don’t have to either, just today… push yourself, get ahead, win for you and for everyone counting on you.

We are surfing through an ocean of opportunity, and while my kids are watching - I want them to remember, dad worked hard and dad was awesome.

Got to have goals, right? 😀
