Happy Monday Mindset!
My mom, Donna, just wrapped up her annual visit to California.
Over the past 2 months, we shared many simple moments that meant the world to me.
Evening dinners.
A few weekend trips.
Good conversations and plenty of laughs.
On Wednesday, she headed back to Michigan for the rest of the year to be with my brother Barrett.
I am excited for her next chapter and grateful we will still see each other a couple more times this year, God willing.
But moments like this always trigger reflection.
Years ago, I met Jesse Itzler, and he shared a perspective that has stayed with me ever since.
Most people think they have more time than they actually do.
Here is the math.
If your parent is 71 years old and you see them 2x a year, you do not have 7 years left with them (assuming they live to our 78 year life expectancy).
You have 14 visits left.
14 dinners.
14 conversations.
14 chances to say the things that matter.
When you calculate time this way, everything changes.
You stop drifting through moments.
You start protecting them.
Because time is the most valuable asset you have, and once it is spent, you never get it back.
So here is the mindset reminder this week.
Be present.
Protect your time.
Prioritize the people who matter most.
Because the real tragedy in life is not adversity.
It is wasting the time we are given.
Make it a GREAT week!
