Como esta, A:R Nation?

Here's to hoping you and the people in your life are doing well.

As I've shared with you, I've been spending much of this Quarantine Time trying to figure some things out about myself, like what do I want to do in the coming years, where do I want to go, who I want in my life.

While it's nice to think about those things and plan for them, I always feel the back half of my brain reminding me of all the things that are and used to be.

That is, as much as I try to envision my future, my mind keeps my tied to my past.

I was reminded of this idea, though, that you can't drive to your destination by staring at your rear view mirror.

When you constantly focus on what's behind you, you could easily cause an accident, swerve out of your lane, or never get to your destination.

I don't want to be robbed of the journey to where I want to go by spending so much time thinking on my past. It's there for me to learn, and that's it.

So, A:R Nation, as you journey in your life, and things "get back to normal," will you be stay looking at the rear view mirror, or is it time for us all to enjoy the drive ahead while staring out the front windshield.

Buckle yourself in. 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.
