Yesterday I was talking with my wife about that I don't feel like I didn't get anything done with my life so far. I did a lot.
I graduated from college, I worked at small and large companies, I lost my father, I opened a startup when I left college, I opened a startup 10 years after I left college, I went to many concerts, shows, events, seminars, conferences. I travelled to many places, many times. I've got married. I had a wedding party. I went to many parties. I bought a condo. I sold a condo. I bought a house. I had a horrible junk car. I had my dream car. I planted a tree. I wrote a movie script. But above all, I had a kid this year.
That is some pretty good life by my standards. I feel I've done a lot, and there is so much more to learn, visit, know, experiment, try, do.
Overall, since I was a little kid I always felt lucky. Very lucky. I didn't know why, but I always got what I wanted. Later in life I realized that I didn't get always what I wanted, but those moments didn't matter and that is why I forgot about them.
But the thing that define my success in life so far, is not the money (which I don't have), or the house, the car, my career, my business. It is the amount of people around me that genuinely enjoy being with me. I have about 50 best friends and another 100 close friends, and a wife and son! How can anybody ask for more?
Hey Marcelo. Happy birthday! : ) You've definitely accomplished quite a bit in my book. Wow. I wonder what's the percentage of people out there with your experience. It's pretty amazing.
