Back in the day, this was in the summer of 2013, I was talking to me friend, Kate. Basically, Kate said that everyone has, at some point in their life, a game changer. The game changer is an experience that wakes up a lot of things and advances a person to a better stage of life.
It was obvious to me that I had such an experience, but Kate explained that a person never keeps the good part of the experience. That a person has the experience, it serves its purpose, and it leaves. Being the optimist that I am, I thought that that wasn’t possible, and that I was going to keep all the good parts, too.
It’s like a tech stock. A person can buy it. If they sell it when it goes up a bit, they have a little profit. But they no longer have it. When it goes up a ton more, they don’t get a computer or anything fun! But they learn an important lesson:
Foron’t sell your eggs before they hatch. Have patience, and allow things to appreciate on their own schedule.
I had such an experience, and while I didn’t end up with a winning stock, my life has improved from the lesson. It matured me in a lot of ways, and I got over a lot of things that were holding me back. It was a catalyst to the good things in life.
I had a list of the things that I’ve accomplished, but it just sounded like I was bragging. Let’s just say, I am psychologically awesome, physically awesome, and professionally awesome.
On the physical part, I have worked out and actually had to spend $800 on new business clothes because my chest and shoulders are so broad. I have muscle definition, too. In order to run, breathe, or just not get sick, I got surgery at the end of October. The surgery is the very last thing I have to do to reverse everything from my accident.
All my friends know, I am perpetual in nature, because I used to bug them. The follow ups and the shout outs are just easy. I used to have too much time on my hands. Plus, I’m a communicative gentleman. Yes, I have to hold my horses before I communicate a lot with a lady.
However, I figured out how to chill better. I don’t communicate all the time. It’s awesome because I tend to get better responses.
Life has been great to have given me such an experience while I was young and for waking me up so I could man up.
