Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Jacob....Happy Birthday to you....
Well, on this date one year ago at 9:03 am I had just become a new father for the first time. I can still remember the events as if I were standing there right now.
Here we are, one year later. My son has changed so much and grown into a little boy, leaving the, what I call, "infant stage" behind. Now, yes, I am aware that he is reaching toddler and is no longer the little baby that he was, but you must understand, he is so independant, wanting to do everything himself and for himself.
So what have I learned you are asking....
1. I learned to never be afraid to smile at someone you do not know.
We, as adults, tend to grow into a creature that keeps to themselves and doesn't go out of our way to make a friend like we did when we were children. Sometimes something as simple as a smile can make a world of difference in someone's day. I mean really, have our lives become so mudane that we no longer want to associate with new friends?
2. I learned that a giggle, is EXACTLY how we shold approach life.
Now granted, my son being only 1 doesn't have really anything to worry about. His biggest worries are "when am I going to eat, can someone change my diaper, and someone give me a hug when life rears it's ugly head in a way I don't like". But, there are times when he looks at things around him and gives off a giggle, a giggle that takes the reality of life and turns it into something not so harsh.....maybe we all need to GIGGLE a little more....
3. Enjoy life and by the way, take a nap....
Everyday my son has fun. He really has no worries and my question is why do we. So what if we don't get that buyer or seller today, another one will be along pretty soon. The other thing my son does everyday is take several naps.....are you like me, are you exhausted most of the time? Guess what that means....yep, not enough rest. To preform at our best we must be rested and ready to go, so I encourage you....SLOW DOWN AND GET SOME REST....your business will benefit from it.
