But you also have this feeling of sadness. Its been forty years and some of your old friends haven't changed. O, they have gained weight, bought hearing aids and thick glasses but there has been precious little change in their attitudes, goals and achievements. A tragic reality of life is that some people choose not to grow or change. They choose mediocrity instead of excellence.
Life is too precious, too sacred, too important.
If I ever go stagnant please give me a swift kick where I need it. I hope you'll love me enough to challenge me to keep growing. The start of a New Year can be likened to a jump into the great unknown. Some people make preparation for the jump and strap on a parachute. They jump without making any preparation or giving any thought to where the jump may take them.
