The future is calling and i must go.

The reality of the eye challenge is that the cause is simply from aging.

Like human hair turning grey, aging eventually sees to it that everyone’s hair turns grey.

This is a new phase of life for me.

A beginner, so to speak.

A rookie.

Uncharted territory.

The future is calling and i must go. (hat tip to John Muir for his, “The mountains are calling and I must go.”

Ps. Hey jeff, happy hiking.

Last night

Track & Field 2023 day 7 competition schedule
Have been enjoying the 2023 Track & Field World Championships for the past week. A great diversion.

Yesterday, and especially last night, the nerves the 2023 Track & Field World Championships athletes must feel the night before they compete.

Note: Dr Kumar said recovery is going exactly as hoped. That said, however, there is blood in the eyeball. Doc said sometimes the surgery can have an “oozy” (rhythms with boozie) recovery.

This means i need to double down on efforts to be a complete ‘couch-potato”.

Ain’t gonna lie, i was outside a lot since surgery.

Why?

No pain in eye makes you forget the absolute radical physical impact to the eyeball.

If you can’t see blood or feel pain, and you are not expecting to have sight for several weeks, everything is okay, right?

Nope!

Manifest your career purpose

What are you doing to be on top of the podium? What’s in the way of your success?

Working well is a privilege

Working well is a privilege.

(And at Disney, it’s a foundational expectation)

The essence of serving well is ‘what you do for a living’.

What you do for a living is your primary contribution to the human community.

Every job is important.

In the ant world, the colony falls apart without worker ants (or if workers don’t do their job well).

Whatever you do, do it in a remarkable way to be at peace with the lifelong opportunity you’ve been bestowed.

Pro-tip: Strive to discover a job where you get-to-do more than you have-to-do.

What a remarkable privilege.
