Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 12/23/2019

I coach a lot of people who regret that they can’t do what they once could do. That might be physical (athletics), or travel (kids have come along), or psychological (we fear things we didn’t fear before).

I have a different view. I ran the hundred yard dash in 10 seconds when I was age-appropriate to do that. I never thought I’d be able to do it forever. I knew I’d continue to travel by taking the kids along or getting a sitter. And I don’t mind being more sensitive to things that I foolheartedly ignored in my callow youth.

Personally, what I focus on as well as advise others to do, is to emphasize that which you can now do which you couldn’t do years ago. I can write better and faster, I can access more diverse friends and colleagues, I can travel in a manner superior to steerage. I appreciate life more and exploit opportunities better.

It’s really a simple issue of mindset. Are you going to focus on what you can no longer do or on what you were never able to do until now? I was never able to ask questions like that when I was younger.
