Journey

We live many lives in our time here on earth.  Whether it’s your career, relationships, hobbies, and activities, we ride the constant waves of highs and lows.  Friends come and go.  Money is here; then it’s not.  But one thing is certain… we always progress and learn from each moment.  These are my many lives. 

​

When I say many lives, I don’t mean we are living double lives with multiple families, or are spies for the government.  It refers to our life segments; parts of the whole that make up who we have become.  It could be a 6-month fling with a partner or 10 years at a job.  But during those times, we are defined as a specific person.  

 

Some of these lives overlap and collide with each other.  Maybe you’ve introduced work friends to your high school buddies.  Ever have a colleague sleep with a buddy of yours from your home life?  I have.  George Constanza said it best that worlds are colliding.  I’ve had colleagues come to gigs or play bar trivia with me.  My ex-wife got to know many of my work family.  I would say that those moments are opportunities.  We learn from our successes and failures every day.  The goal is to make better decisions, have more love, and to be a better person tomorrow.
