What do I want?

I attended a retirement gathering for a guy who spent 39.5 years at General Motors.

39.5 years
52 weeks a year
5 days a week
8 hours a day.

That’s 82,160 hours spent at work.

If I spend 82,000 hours doing anything, it better be for something worthwhile.
I better be able to look back on those hours and say, “That was definitely worth it.”

Our lives are defined by the choices we make. What choices am I making?

What if the next time I blink, I’m 62 years old, and I’m saying, “Maybe I should have switched careers.” Or “I wish I had taken more chances in life.”

Because you know, it goes by in a blink.

Blink.

Gone.
