I was emailing with a good friend this morning about my recent Maui trip and when she heard I was headed to Denver for the Monday Night Football game tonight, she asked, "Is that all you do is play?"
Fair question considering the context. Actually, I was looking forward to this week being a week without travel. I've got a busy week indeed with the closing and upcoming shows, but there's an opportunity to spend quality time with a new large customer and also visit our growing channel in the Denver area, so I'm jumping on it. Thankfully the Packers were able to snag me tickets at such a late notice!
Back to the email... To me, life IS play. My attitude towards all aspects of my life is that its just too short to go around with a frown on your face. I had this dream back when I was 16 or 17 that I was laying on my deathbed and lamenting about all the things I never got to do. I awoke that morning with an attitude towards living that's been with me since that day. Tomorrow could be your last day, so get living! No matter if I'm working on a new product, hammering on some spreadsheets or tearing it up on the water - get on it!
Guys who sit around talking and scheming about what they want to do, but never do it are completely useless to me. Stop talking and start doing.
