Hello, A:R Nation!

How's the quarantine life?

In this episode, I want us to examine the excuses that we make in our lives, whether it's for business, personal stuff, fitness - whatever.

How often do you say something like, "I can't because I don't have . . ."?

Maybe it's money. Maybe it's support.

I know one of my biggest excuses is that I don't have time. I complain that I walk my dog 2 to 3 times a day, about 45 minutes each walk, and that prevents me from getting done the things I want to get done.

I really believe this, too. When I speak it or write it down, though, it's almost lunacy to accept that as the reason I don't get done the things that I want to get done.

Are you holding yourself back because you don't have money? What resources do you have available to you?

Are you not getting done the things that you want to get done because you don't have the skillset? What skills do you have?

I challenge myself, and you, that if we look at an obstacle as not going anywhere, we'll start to really take stock of what we have at our disposal to get stuff done.

As many of us are wondering what is going to happen in this quarantine life, there's probably no better time to examine this than now.

Your obstacle is your path. This is the Adulthood: Revisited podcast.

Adulthood: Revisited

I dunno about y'all, but in the last few years I've been trying to figure who I am.

I've asked myself who am I as a person, as a man, as a partner in relationship, who am I in business.

I wonder if who I am is really who I want to be

If not, when did it change, and what can I do to tap into who I really want to be.

If you've asked yourself questions like these, then I invite you to join me on this journey, Adulthood: Revisited.
