Where I am...
This is not meant to be a philosophical reflection or a confession of any sort but simply an observation on something relevant to anything you may want to accomplish.
âWhere I was, where I am, and where I will beâWords that wandered into my head a couple of days ago almost as a mantra, and have stuck with me ever since. I donât think they will shake loose until Iâve made my peace.
These words start in the present and draw a line in the sand; a benchmark from which to reflect, as well as look forward to the possibilities. A benchmark forever shifting â Tick tock, tick tock. This does not necessarily indicate progression but simply movement. A movement of time and the movement of activity, where time is the only constant and the activity is ever dynamic. Taking you from there to here and ultimately from here to there. Tick tock, tick tock.
This movement can be progress and these humble words offer an important signpost to reflect, evaluate, course correct and continue the journey; a journey that is never linear because straight lines are a human invention. A journey that takes you ever closer to that mountain you want to climb, and thatâs whatâs important. Remember though, it has to be your mountain because a journey to climb someone elseâs mountain is a foolâs errand which has you forever asking, âWhere am I?â Tick Tock, tick tock.
There is a truth that needs to be accepted, not in these words per se, but in how you look at where you stand and at that footsteps that mark the sand. A false view gets you lost with nothing but wasted time for your efforts. Tick tock, tick tock.
This hasnât shaken out the way I thought I will admit.
I thought maybe this would meander to a commentary advocating good plans and maps to your find your way but thatâs not where I found myself. Warren Buffet, a man who admittedly is wealthy enough to buy more or less anything says the one think he cannot buy is time. It is finite, constant, and the same for everyone.
So in the end, it turns out the words âwhere I was, where I am, and where I will beâ are a reminder to stop dicking around and get to it because there is only so much time.
Tick tock, tick tock.
