Hey.
A few days ago, I saw one of my co-worker’s blue Ford truck sitting on the side of the road.
Autoooomatically, my gut said to me, “CHECK ON HIM NOW!”
I pulled up right next to him and he was slumped over the steering wheel.
Yikes!
I quickly found out it was Joe. Everyone calls him “Track Joe” because he has 30+ years of experience operating a track dozer.
He is bald, early 60’s, and tough-guy attitude.
After finding out he needs some serious help, I park right in front of him.
I open my car door and run to him.
I say, “Hey Joe. Tell me right now, do you feel pressure on your chest or anything hurt?”
He looked up at me. It looked like he aged another ten years. Pale, and talking slow.
He says, “Arnie, I’m puking my guts out. I don’t need an ambulance. I just need to go home.”
After a few more words of questions and observing the area, I hear him say, “I need an ambulance.”
Ok…
After making a few calls and getting the right people to get him help, I went on my way.
After the episode, I let my brain spew out some nutty questions.
“Why did so many people drive by without stopping?”
“Why did I respond so fast to his truck before knowing he was sick?”
“What if he was unresponsive?”
Side note: Two other co-workers did stop by some time after the discovery of his needs. I thank God for all that came to aid Joe.
Anyways…
These thoughts plagued my mind for a few hours.
These experiences are not accidents.
They happen for a BIG reason.
To rattle my cage and wake me up!
It had me thinking about my dad, age, and health.
Heck, enough about my story and ramble…
I’m here to deliver you a message.
Here it is.
LISTEN TO YOUR GUT.
I don’t care how old you are, or what you do, or don’t have the skills.
Sometimes, you don’t have a choice.
You have to go in and help.
AND sometimes, it’s not someone else you need to help.
It might be time to do some self rescue!
Throw yourself a rope and start rescuing yourself as quickly as you can!
Are you drowning in your health, mental state, business, family, and habits?
2022, you will see growth in the right direction.
Let me help you see some light.
You see, the people that smash goals and get things done faster are the ones that are in a hurry with their passion and goals.
These successful people walk faster, think faster, talk faster, write faster, and network faster.
There is always something that can be done faster.
Dammit, you know you can be moving faster in your day.
And you just have to pick ONE thread to get your sew/sow in motion.
We all have 24 hours in a day.
Buffett and Musk have 24 hours.
I have 24 hours.
You have 24 hours.
What’s the difference?
Distractions (phone apps, social, and email).
Do you think Musk is checking out his email first thing in the morning? Do you think Buffett is browsing TikTok and Facebook?
Mimic the habits of people you want to be and you will see results FASTER.
Get rid of the distractions and turn down the noise.
Slice off some fat, and start getting lean.
Find ONE goal that you want to see bubble up faster and work on it in the next 10 days.
I’m dead serious.
No more fluff.
Enough said.
One more thought… it’s not that you don’t know what want to achieve… you just haven’t agreed with the one big hairy goal yet.
Get in agreement.
Sign on the line with dreams and get moving.
Life is ending one minute at a time.
You can do it!
Let’s GOOOOOOOO!
