Life Lesson 33: Time Flies

Time Flies

Time flies. You’ve heard it all your life.

Host: Tom Hering

“The bad news is that time flies.
The good news is that you’re the pilot.”
— Michael Altshuler

But whether you chose to believe it was a whole other matter.

It wasn’t until I became a father that I really started to grasp and understand that concept of time racing in my life.

Your children are born. They enter grade school. They graduate from college. And now they’re married and starting their own family.

While in the beginning as a new parent you wonder “wow this not sleeping through the night seems like an eternity,” you later find yourself saying “where did that time go?”

All of which is to say that boomer males, all of us over 50 now, should understand that concept of how precious time is.

And if we haven’t by now, it’s a lesson we need to learn quickly.

You can make more money…enter a new relationship…find a new job but you can never get more time.

Enjoy every minute of it. Live it to the fullest. Do things that matter to you—your family—your community.

Don’t put off what you want to do today.

Enjoy the here and the now.

Because as I mentioned before, it is all we have.

In my book 51 Life Lessons Every Boomer Male Should Have Learned by Now, I write about key lessons that I believe every evolved boomer male needs to know to make his third act his best. They fall into one of three categories: health, wealth and happiness. Each lesson serves to inspire and motivate you.
