Well my friend, here again, I find myself not knowing what to write to you about so I’ll just start…
Yesterday, we hung out by the ocean most of the day. I took my daughters and we swam wayyyyyy out to the orange buoys separating the safe swimming area from the boats. Angelina thought it was pretty hilarious to say “I touched the butt”… Those of you who’ve seen Finding Nemo will understand.
Ah, the message just came to me…
Another gorgeous day here in Mexico. Aside from Kaiden having some type of rash, (probably from the chlorine in the pool) it’s been a perfect vacation.
This is from yesterday evening on the beach…
When I laid my head to the pillow last night, I felt pretty damn lucky.
Sure, I’ve had some crazy swings in life. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. 11 years ago I was $750,000 in debt. I’ve been homeless, experienced debilitating levels of anxiety, been through a very tough divorce, insane challenges in business that many wouldn’t even believe…
But despite having more challenges than most, I consider myself one lucky son-of-a-gun.
Which brings me to today’s topic…
Snorkeling with the kiddos yesterday was a blast. This is Angelina on the left (age 9) and Zara (age 11). We had a photographer on the boat with us and can’t wait to see those pictures when they’re ready tomorrow.
After snorkeling as we were out at the pool, I finished a great book, Zero to One, written by one of the founders of PayPal. Here’s one thing that stuck out…
“In the most minimal sense, the future is simply the set of all moments yet to come. But what makes the future distinctive and important isn’t that it hasn’t happened yet, but rather that it will be a time when the world looks different from today.”
Now… replace “the world” with “you”.
It’s a beautiful morning here in Mexico and I’m excited to share with you a tip that can turn your life around.
Still feeling a little sad for my giant moth who’s life was cut short from the evil little bird from yesterday. But we must press on.
I’m going to be taking the kids swimming with the dolphins here in about three hours. We’re doing the “deluxe” package which includes each of us getting to ride 2 dolphins at the same time… kids are stoked! (Okay I’m probably just as stoked to be real open) 🙂
Feels so good to be writing this sitting on the top floor balcony overlooking the ocean here in Mexico. Seeing the palm tree’s swaying in the wind. Watching the waves crashing into the beach. Smelling the fresh scent of salt as I feel the breeze on my face.
As I look back at the kids in the room reading their books as we wait for room service to deliver breakfast to our penthouse suite, I can’t help feel immense gratitude for my life
It’s pretty damn cool.
However…
