Having just returned from a dream vacation in Alaska, I want to throw out a challenge to all of our subscribers – but especially to Pharo Bull Customers. If you are a Pharo Bull Customer, I encourage you to stay tuned and to take this challenge seriously.
One evening after supper on the cruise ship, Deanna and I were visiting with Steve and Lisa Schweitzer about life in general and about how so many of us have a tendency to put off doing the things we want to do. We are always “too busy” to enjoy life.
While on the cruise ship, I noticed there were many older women with no husbands. They were often in groups of two or three. I don’t know, but I suspect most of those widows would be willing to give all they have to go back in time and take a nice vacation with their husbands. Unfortunately, when that opportunity was available, they – and/or their husbands – probably thought they were “too busy” to take advantage of it.
Everyone I know has a bucket list. People are always saying, “Someday, I want to do this or that.” Unfortunately, “someday” never comes for many people. If you want something, YOU MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN! My friend Steve said, “You can’t just make a plan; you have to buy the ticket! You must commit to making it happen.”
I know from personal experience that Steve is right! Until we actually commit to making something happen, there is very little chance it is going to happen. The Alaska vacation we just returned from, for example, was nothing more than a dream until we purchased the tickets. Only then did it start to become a reality. Although we had been talking about this adventure for two or three years, it was never going to happen until we became committed to making it happen.
Learn from my experience… I wish I had known 50 years ago what I know today. If I had, I would have much fewer regrets today. I cannot go back and change the past – but I still have the opportunity to make the most of the future. This is true for most people – of all ages. Today is the first day of the rest of my life! Truth be known, I am as busy now as I have ever been – but I am no longer willing to let that keep me from spending special time with loved ones and friends.
You don’t have to do anything big or fancy. Start out small. Spend a weekend doing something you enjoy with loved ones and/or friends. If that works out, spend a four-day weekend with loved ones and/or friends. I think you will discover that you really do have time to enjoy life. Make a list of things you want to see and do – and then MAKE IT HAPPEN! Think ahead! If you commit to something one month or six months or one year in advance, you will make it happen. If you don’t commit to anything, nothing will happen.
Back to the Pharo Bull Customers… Since you only need to purchase half as many bulls as you used to purchase and since most of those bulls will last twice as long as the bulls you used to purchase, you should have plenty of money to enjoy life with loved ones and/or friends. If you adhere to the Pharo Philosophies, you will also have plenty of time to enjoy life with family and friends. Your cows should be able to get by without you.
Make It Happen! NOW is the time to take control of your life! Someday may never come! Time stops for no one! When your life is coming to an end, it won’t be the things you did that you will regret: it will be the things you did not do that you will regret. STOP making excuses! Commit to your hopes and dreams. You will be glad you did! It is not okay to keep putting this off. Just Do It!
