"Mirror... Mirror on the wall... who is the oldest of them all...?"
I look in the mirror and I keep seeing an older version of myself.
While my heart and mind grows iteratively, it feels like my body ages more exponentially ;-)
I remember my mother-in-law one day saying to me, years ago, "I still feel like a young woman, but I look in the mirror and I see an older woman."
I didn't fully appreciate that thought until recently.
I look in the mirror, and I ask myself... "Have I done enough? Am I doing enough?"
There is a sense of urgency... of time ticking...
I always think of Colonel Sanders and the fact that he started Kentucky Fried Chicken very late in life... and then I feel like even Colonel Sanders must have started at or before 50... Time doesn't stand still.
The question of "Have I done enough?" is one that never gives me a satisfying answer.
What is "enough"? Who defines it? I certainly am nowhere near my own definition...
Perhaps the question I should ask when I step in front of the mirror is not, "Have you done enough?"... but rather, "What are you doing today? What are you doing TODAY to learn from YESTERDAY and to make an impact on your world....?"
I like that question better.
It still conveys urgency... but it conveys possibility and opportunity.
I haven't done nearly enough...
But, I am committed to doing more... to doing BETTER...
And, according to the mirror, I am not getting any younger.
No time like the PRESENT...
What are you doing TODAY?
Whatever it may be.... may it be
In harmony,
Nestor
