67 - Age

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is age. There are certainly advantages to being young. I remember one particular Saturday morning when I was probably less than 10 years old. I woke up rested and stopped to appreciate that nothing in my body ached. I was completely comfortable. That might have been the last time that I couldn’t identify some point of discomfort in my body, because age seems to lend itself to accumulating pains. Age also contains the possibility of wisdom. I remember my senior high school English teacher telling us that the best part of being older is knowing what you are and are not adept at or interested in. I think she was saying that you find out where to put your efforts. Today’s concrete challenge is to put some effort into a task that you love. We have a new puzzle going that I really want to work on. If you don’t have time to work on your choice activity now, write down what it is and a time today that you will do it. We have a limited amount of time on Earth. Let’s enjoy the perks of age. If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will either do it now or write what it is and when I will do it.” I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode. Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who gets better with age.” Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
