Your Dad’s Lesson:
At a certain point in life you are going to step back and take stock. It might be after learning something about yourself, after an extended period of stasis, or after the breeze hits you a certain way. I don’t know what brought it about, but my certain point came while we were living in Red Bank. I started asking myself questions like: Why are we living in an apartment in Red Bank? How did I get out of shape? When was the last time I was in the water? What can I do with the company to inspire me? The resulting answers required some difficult decisions and changes, but they were the best decisions I’d made in years. Almost immediately, it seemed, we moved within a mile of the ocean to a house with a barn, I lost 20 pounds, and I changed the company’s mission. However that certain point comes about, taking stock is the best thing that can happen to you. When it happens, embrace the difficult questions, answer them objectively, and holistically think about what you really, really want. I can promise you that it will put you on a path that fills your soul.
