What’s impressive is that he published this book when he was 108 years old.

Many times as I’m helping my clients explore new possibilities for their careers and/or their lives, I am often hit with the “I’m too old for that” excuse which feels very real to them.

OK, so maybe your dream of being a professional baseball player has slipped past, but that doesnt mean there arent infinite other opportunities that await you.

As people are working longer into their 60s and beyond, even in your 40s and 50s you may have decades of active worklife in front of you (for better or worse).  If you can broaden your perspective beyond what’s immediately in front of you, you may find that developing new skills, going back to school part time, or getting certified in something new is not only possible, but a great way to disrupt your time running in place on the hamster wheel.

When you view a 20 year horizon, a two year program still leaves plenty of time to reap the benefits of that investment of time, money and energy.

My former client and friend Bob just completed the Boston Marathon last week and shared his experience. My legs hurt just reading this.
He also supports a great cause so wanted to share that as well.

Marathon number 11 is in the books.

Marathon Monday turned out to be a perfect running day. The temperate was in the high 50′s and “supposedly” there was a tailwind!
I got up at 4:45 AM feeling really good. At 5:15 I left my house to pick up Rob and Visna and headed to the Boston Garden where we met the rest of the Bruins Foundation Team for our bus ride to Hopkinton.

Once in Hopkinton we had a nice heated tent and our own personal DJ, DJ Deja. That definately helped make the morning go by quickly. At 10 AM we began our walk to the start line in preparation for the start of the 115th Boston Marathon.

My strategy for the race was to run a 8:45-9:00 minute pace throughout the first 20 miles. I thought if I could do that I’d have some energy to really push it for the final 6 miles.
I know I didn’t train as hard as I have for other marathons because I’ve been so busy with work, so I was trying to be realistic in terms of pace etc. The last thing I wanted was to crash and burn.

When I got to mile 15 my legs began to feel a little heavy which is never a good thing especially only midway through. The hills in Newton were pretty tough as usual but overall they didn’t kill me. At mile 21 my friend Eileen jumped in and ran with me which was nice because I really started to feel it at that point.

To be honest mile 21-25 were a blur because I really wasn’t feeling great at all. My cardio was great but my legs felt like a ton of bricks.
When I saw the 25 mile marker I knew i was almost there and did my best to pick up the pace. When I took the final turn onto Boylston I knew I had done it. I crossed the finish line with a time of 4:01 knowing that I had given it everything I had. I really had nothing left in the tank which is always a good feeling.

Now a month or two of recoving and then the plan is to run Chicago in October.

I also want to take this time to thank all of you who have supported my run and donated to the Bruins Foundation. I’ve almost reached my goal and couldn’t have done it without your help. If you still haven’t made a donation and would like to you still have time Just donate on my website www.firstgiving.com/bobcassin

Thanks again!

My daughter had only skated once before with me last year and Sabrina hasn’t skated for years. My daughter was initially nervous about going because she was afraid that everyone else would be better skaters than her and therefore, wouldn’t skate with her, leaving her alone (although Sabrina would be there, moms and dads don’t count in those situations.) But we encouraged her to just do her best and offered her all of the other so-called wisdom that parents tell their young kids to get them to try things.

Later that day, when they arrived home, I asked my daughter how the party was and she quickly and triumphantly declared that “It was GREAT!”

I probed further, asking if the other girls skated with her. She gave me an emphatic “YES!” She explained that after she fell down a few times, she started to get better and, by the end, she was skating faster than a lot of the other kids. I gave her a big hug.

Then I asked her how her mommy did and she laughed. She said, “Mommy skated so funny!” When I asked her what she meant, she continued, “…because she was afraid to fall down! So mommy skated the whole time trying not to fall down, and I told her, ‘Mommy, just fall down. It doesn’t hurt!’ But mommy didn’t want to fall down so she kept skating really funny and looked all bent over like this, and I was skating so much faster than her and……”

Lesson learned: It’s OK to Fall Down!

In last month’s column I shared with you my 9/11 story and how I had taken a small step (a 20 minute breakfast with my family) that ultimately saved my life.

Yes – that is how fast it can happen. That is how unexpectedly it can come.  We don’t have endless tomorrows.

Yet…I cannot spend any more time looking back and saying “Why?”, “Why did that happen?”, “Why me?”, “Why them?” No. I am here. I am alive. I have a beautiful family, great friends and a meaningful mission. I have to look forward and say “What now?” “What will I do with this opportunity – with this gift that I’ve been given?”

You have been given that same chance! Today is your gift!

Rewrite Your Tomorrow

Are you going to spend more time wishing your life was different in some way or hoping to make changes one day – after the kids get older, or once things at work settle down, or next month, or next year, or some day…?

As my friend Tom Bruein  says, “There is no such place as ‘Someday Isle’!” (aka: Someday I’ll…)

You have great intentions, safe intentions. However, I have bad news for most of you. That day, some day, is never going to come. Stop kidding yourself.

That’s just your excuse machine working on overdrive. If you keep doing that, you’re going to wake up 5 years from now and look back and wish you started 5 years earlier (are you already doing that?).

Look past those excuses. You have a chance to rewrite your future…now! It takes getting out of your comfort zone – having an insight or breakthrough that makes a huge difference in your perspective. That is what changes the way you view the world. That is what creates new relationships with the things and the people in your lives.

Or…are you using your’need for perfection’ as a beautiful excuse?

When I was first starting out as a coach I was always trying to be so perfect.

However, that need for perfection (really a disguised fear) was holding me back terribly. I was afraid to take chances and let my natural abilities flow because I didn’t want to do anything wrong. It was completely suffocating me.

It was then that Fern Gorin, the Founder and Director of the Life Purpose Institute, told my class something that I will never forget. She said that people wait to do things until they have confidence. They say things like “As soon as I get better at this, I will do it” or “I’m not ready to try it yet.”

But the reality is that experience creates confidence, not the other way around! In other words, waiting for something to be perfect is just an excuse for not getting started.

Think about that.

How many things are you waiting to do, to try or to experience because you don’t have the confidence or feel that you’re ‘good enough?’ What if you were allowed to be bad? Further, what if making a mistake was not only ok, but it was actually encouraged?

I’m not referring to being reckless here. Your responsibilities still stand. However, by giving yourself a little room to stretch and reach and fall down and get up and fall down again and get up again, you will grow! That’s the way it works.

It is so easy to look around and see only the problem, the shortcoming, or the gap. And once you place your focus there, you become blind to the substance and good that is there as well. We can get stuck focusing on what’s missing or what didn’t go right and end up either beating ourselves up, blaming someone or something for our situation, or worse – creating a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness.

Do this enough and you start anticipating negative outcomes, bad experiences and poor results, trapping you into this mindset.  There is a significant cost to this type of thinking. We are disempowering ourselves!  We put our own sense of vitality, joy and ease into the control of other people, things, events and measurements. We are not taking accountability and responsibility for our lives and our sense of well-being and happiness. We are in that moment choosing to give it up so we can stand in our circle of self-pity and righteousness.

Is it worth it?

By continuing to appreciate the positive things using consistent effort and presence, you will see your life change, and even completely transform, bringing you more freedom and a lot more control.

***
Often we stop ourselves because we are afraid we won’t be perfect. Sometimes we don’t attempt certain things because we’re afraid of falling down. Make this the year you get in action. This is your time to create the life you’ve always desired. After all, you have nothing to lose but that same pattern that you’re trying to break free from.

What are you being a little hesitant about declaring because it would make it too real or it might actually put yourself on the hook for it?  Look around. Really look. What are the signs you have been missing?

Life is a gift and every single day counts! We think and we act like we have endless tomorrows, but we do not! You can’t afford to waste your time or energy looking back and asking “Why?” You need to look forward and say “What now? Where do I want to go! What shall I do with this gift I’ve been given!”

What is it time for you to put out to the world?

What is it time for you to see?

GRATITUDE

A poor Scottish farmer was out walking one day when he heard a plaintive cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He ran to assist and found a boy mired almost to the waist in the black muck. Extending his walking stick, the farmer pulled the boy out. The next day an elegantly dressed man came to the farmer’s small hut, offering a reward that the Scotsman refused. Just then the farmer’s young son came to the door. Seeing him the nobleman made the Scotsman an offer. “Let me take you son and give him a good education. If the lad is anthing like his father, he’ll grow into a man you can be proud of.” The Scotsman liked this and shook hands on the bargian. In time, the boy graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, London. He later became Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin. Years later the nobleman’s son was stricken with pneumonia, but was saved through the use of penicillin. The nobleman was Lord Randolph Churchill, and the son was Winston Churchill.

Remember the times in life when you have received an assist, boost or encouragement when you were in need and be grateful to others. Receiving is just as important as giving.

Everywhere you look, it seems easy to find reasons to be discouraged or feel trapped and even a little hopeless.  The trouble in the economy has many people worried about their jobs and money.  With the stressors of financial issues, many people are worried about their relationships with a spouse or a family member.  Surrounded by so much unrest, many people are even questioning their faith and their beliefs.

However, if you shift your perspective, you can see a new reality where these troubled times give you an opportunity to strengthen your connection to your center.  This will help you know where you are going and create new paths to achieving your goals.  With some understanding of your vision and deeper clarity of it’s meaning to you, these simple steps can help you cross that rickety bridge towards the vista you seek:

— Acknowledge the Struggle:  There will be times when you feel like it is easier to give up than to continue to fight through to the end.  Change and transition are hard.  However, by understanding this and accepting that there are stumbling blocks on the road to success, it is often easier to overcome the hurdles without feelings of failure.  Plus, acknowledging difficulties while limiting the drama helps you find ways around these blocks to achieve your goal.

— Define the Value of the View:  Keep clear visuals or written reminders of what your goal means to you.  If you want to spend more time with your children, then take a picture or have one of your children draw a picture for you of your family laughing and having fun together.  Giving yourself positive motivation to keep pushing through to the end will keep your courage high, your resilience strong and your spirits up and help you recognize the important impact your journey will have on your life as you move closer to the View.

— Access a Path:  Sometimes, when struggles arise, the path to success becomes very muddy and slippery.  You can start to question the routes and try to find shortcuts.  Keep in mind that you are exactly where you are supposed to be and the path you have picked for yourself is going to lead you to find more purpose in your life.  It is a process where the steps are as important as the outcome, so do not short change yourself due to your impatience and fear.

— Keep Your Eye on the Prize:  As vital as the end zone of accomplishment is to the overall success of your goals, give yourself credit for small victories too.  If you are trying to lose weight and you pass up dessert, give yourself a pat on the back with both hands (if that is possible!).  Focusing solely on the gap that lies ahead of you without acknowledging the progress thus far will hurt your motivation and confidence.  Remember, little things count as small steps lead to big success.  You cannot get to the final goal without every single small step along the way.
 
— Create a Structure of Support:  Literally, you can join a support group if one exists to keep you committed and accountable to your goals.  If none is present, create one that helps you and others find similar motivation.  In reality, the best support comes from those closest to you because, in dark hours, they will be there.  From best friends, spouses, and family members, support comes in many flavors.  You will find just sharing your goals with those close to you will often times bring them closer to you and lend support and warm wishes of success.

There is always loss in change.  However, with change also comes a new beginning.  For many of us, the understanding that set backs are temporary is critical to the process of climbing our chosen mountain.  Just as important as anticipating the view from the top of that mountain, the opportunity to enjoy the journey for the many hours of effort and triumph makes the victory much sweeter.  In the past, I have heard many people use the cliché “make sure the view is worth the climb” as a warning against starting down a path.  In retrospect, I would use that cliché as motivation to enjoy the climb and use the struggle to sharpen your tools and strengthen your commitment to living and not just surviving.

Had I placed my role as father lower on the priority list, I would not be around to share this with you.  Mind you, this is not about being irresponsible or reckless. But rather about making powerful choices that are aligned with our core values and finding a way to make it all work.  On that September day I learned so many lessons, not the least of which is that little things count, even 20 minutes of quality time with my family.  (my son has since been born). 

In these challenging times, we have seen that buildings fall, houses are lost, financial stability is a myth and life itself can be so fragile.  It is deceptively easy to let the strain our external situation steer our ship.  So let us remember that as fathers, our core responsibility is to love our children unconditionally, teach them how to make powerful choices and to be accountable and responsible for those choices, prepare them for the world by modeling how to handle the hard times as well as the good ones, give them enough boundaries to keep them safe yet give them enough slack to get a bloody nose once in a while, and have them really understand that no matter where we live or how much or how little we have, whenever we are together, that is truly our home.  Of course, a good dose of tickles and hugs never hurts!

In our generation of MapQuest, PDAs, and GPS, we are rarely without directions.  From the kindly female voice that chimes “turn left at the next intersection,” we have learned to put our lives on auto-pilot and head for the waters of calm seas.  It’s not unusual right?  After all, we all want to have happy, contented lives; however, when we put our lives on automatic and accept the course that is directed by outside voices, we do not really have any control over the outcome and we are rarely prepared to weather the storms.

Many times, outside voices from the media and even loved ones, or internal pressures from doubt limit the horizon of our travels.  We simply glide through life making turns based on what we “should” do instead of what we instinctively believe is the right path.  Days pass by us with the thought that “one day I will” cemented into our consciousness without the realization that one day is always one day away.   And, to state the obvious, each day is 24 hours we cannot get back. 

Like a real GPS, our internal system can be affected by many unpredictable forces.  For example, everyone has experienced a longer trip than planned because of road construction or the addition of a new road.  In truth, any navigation system can only give you directions based on the information available at that given time.  So it is with your internal GPS, which is constantly scanning the feelings and situations surrounding you for ways to interact and travel the path of life.  Not choosing one direction inevitably leads you in another direction.  Sometimes, our internal guide is hampered by the fears and doubts we carry around.  Sometimes, we are affected by feelings of others and or their internal GPS and all of the interpretations it has made for them.

But, for one moment, stop to consider how your internal GPS has changed in the past few years and think about when you stopped looking at the landmarks of your life with the innocent appreciation of traveling the “road less traveled.”  Are you on another road than the one you originally intended to drive or simply on another path?  Getting back on your path, the one you control, is easier than you think.  And, the best news is that it is never too late to chart your course.

 If you are ready get back to the road you were passionate about following not too long ago, try these 7 steps to fine tuning your internal GPS:

1.  Envision the End Result:  Take a few minutes to really consider where you want to be when you arrive at your destination.  Any good trip starts with planning.  Your life path should be no exception to this rule.  You can not arrive if you don’t know where you are going.

2.  Set a Goal:  Once you know where you want to be when you succeed, plan a route for getting there.  Remember the way that a GPS directs you through turns and navigates you through the obstacles?  Do the same thing!  Give yourself a series of steps that plan the route to success.

3.  Baby Steps Count:  Make the first trip a day trip or a field trip.  Often, when we set up goals that are massive, we are setting ourselves up for overwhelm which leads to failure.  No matter what you want to achieve, break it down into several manageable goals to give you a series of small successes that lead to a large achievement.

4.  Locate the Landmarks:  Find where your milestones are for your goals.  Know what each step looks like so you can know when you have reached a landmark. That way, you’ll have both something to strive for on the horizon and a set finish line that does not move.

5.  Find a trustworthy navigator:  Locating someone you can trust to help you chart your trip and avoid the landmines will be invaluable to achieving your goals.  Having a support team in place to help you drive down your road and provide fuel during your trip will give you strength and resilience to keep going when you are tired.

6.  Build in Bathroom Breaks:  Whether you stop to evaluate your route, grab a soda, or take a break, build in time for you to spend with family or do activities you enjoy without thought of your path.  This will help keep your energy fresh and give you focus when you are working to achieve your goals.

7.  Take Responsibility for the Outcome:  As this is your road to follow your passions, you must take ultimate responsibility for the accomplishment.  If you need help, then find it.  If you need support or direction, then locate it.  The trip is not about going it alone.  The trip is about going where you have always wanted to be!

Each of us is born with a sense of where we want to travel in life.  Most of the time, we are also given the abilities to follow that path.  Sometimes, we must weather storms to truly appreciate the value what we want to do, but by fine tuning your internal GPS…you will be able to locate the landmarks that will make your trip a phenomenal adventure.

In a month celebrated the world over for shamrocks and luck, it seems important to remember that the best of our lives do not happen merely by luck. So many times, we are caught in a mindset of rationalizing a result by proclaiming that we were lucky because (fill in the blank).

Even my experience of 9/11. I can easily say that I was lucky to have been late that day which saved my life. But that discounts the fact that I made a very conscious decision to be late so I could have breakfast with my family and take back some control of my daily routine.  Was I simply lucky? Did my actions cause my luck?  I don’t know. What I do know is that I am here to write about it, and unfortunately, many others are not. Where’s the luck in that?

In reality, less of our life is a matter of luck than we might imagine. That includes the decency of our spouse, finding a new job, or even the wellbeing of our children.  I believe that we are a product of the choices we make. The thing about choice is that it is a point or moment in life when we take control and select a path. Sometimes people call that ‘creating your own luck.’  However, as these events happen in your life, if you are truly honest with yourself, you can see that they were not luck but rather the cause and effect from your choices.

Just like the leaves of the shamrock, three leaf clovers are plentiful in the fields of our lives. We fill our days with love, faith, and hope as we watch the moments of our lives unfold. Each leaf of the three leaf clover tied together by one stem and rooted deeply into the ground.

But what do you do when you find that magical four leaf clover?  You have the opportunity to make another powerful choice as to how you will seize the day. What do you do? What is written on that extra leaf that will bring life to your life? For some, it is fortune. For others, it is health. And yet, for others, it is recognition. Whatever dream is written on the fourth leaf of your four leaf clover, notice that it is just as tied to the others by the same life sustaining stalk rooted to the ground, with all meeting in the center at a crossroads.

As you stand before the crossroads of your life, which path will you take? Again, the choice to make a change in your life beckons to you. It’s not luck. Do not leave it to chance. The opportunity awaits you to fulfill your dream but you have to own it. The choice is balanced in your hands to take your life from ordinary to extraordinary. And remember, not making a choice is still making a choice.

It’s not luck. And, the path of one person can make so much difference.
