MY THURSDAY THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK – When was the last time you looked in the mirror?  Not to shave or put on your makeup but to reflect on who you have become, who you are or who you are not yet? Did you ever think your life would turn out this way?  Did you ever think you would be this old?  Did you ever think you would have accomplished so much or so little? I could go on but the real question here is this – ten years from today when you look in the mirror again, what will you see that will be; different, better, worse or the same? How will you spend the next ten years – growing or stuck, getting wiser or falling behind, gaining respect or losing it, accomplishing more or just settling and looking back on happy memories or regrets? And finally – in the past ten years what have you deleted from your bucket list, added to it or just given up on the whole idea of bucket lists as a stupid idea? Or, I could make this even harder by changing the word from ten to twenty or even thirty. Whether you are thirty, fifty or seventy it’s simple – where you end up is based on one simple concept - the direction you are traveling every day.
