“I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.”
William Allen White
Some days you just have to ask: What is this game of life all about? Ever feel like your best days are behind you? At times, many of us feel a little nostalgic and sad when we recall our youth and see the years flashing by. With energy levels low, and the pace of life ever increasing, some days it’s hard to imagine making it to the end of the day!
One of my clients recently told me, “The day I stop believing my best days are ahead of me is the day I no longer want to live. I love my life and know the best is still yet to come.” Amen brother! This statement came from a man over 60 years of age. What a great thinker and leader!
I am amazed when I consider that nearly 16 years have passed by since I arrived in America and started TheHomeMag. We began by serving businesses in Orange County, then broadened our circulation to include San Diego, Riverside, South Bay and Coachella Valley. We are pleased to announce that we’re still going strong and continuing to expand our SoCal readership by adding our brand-new San Bernardino publication beginning with the Summer 2024 issue!
Interestingly, this has been a journey different from any other I have experienced. The magazine production revolves around a four-week cycle, with strict deadlines every month. In our world, meeting these deadlines is like climbing a mountain for four weeks, where the closer we get to the finish, the steeper the incline.
Deadlines aside, one concept of life which has always amused me is how we often feel we have arrived at the top, only to discover that there is yet another ladder to climb. Is this why the best is yet to come? Does this keep us motivated to carry on in life regardless of our age or success?
Life’s journey never ends. It will continue to be one climb after another. After traveling around the world to over five continents, numerous countries and over 45 states in the U.S., I have learned that this is the pattern of life for everyone.
I encourage you to embrace the challenge and the feeling of being uncomfortable when your situation changes yet again. Every day I tell my team to welcome change, because in this world of ever-increasing advancement in technology and pattern interruptions, the people who can adapt will be the ones who come out on top. So I say, “To the future! To the great mystery of life! It’s great, and still, the best is yet to come!”
