Today is Friday, 9/10/2010. Almost nine years ago I was reminded just how delicate my world is and how connected I am to ALL people with whom I share this planet.
My experience in New York as a survivor was both similar and unique to anyone else in that city on that morning. It impacted me on spiritual, emotional, physical and metaphysical levels and gave birth to the adult that I am now. The single biggest result is that I don't wait anymore; I am impetuous. I don't accept that inexperience and ignorance are reasons to avoid doing something that I want to do (for whatever reason/motivation). I embarrass myself more. I get it wrong more. I fail way more. But I am happier on a whole. I feel the wins more. I live my life a lot more than I did before.
I have been thinking about that a lot lately, in light of our firm working our largest deal to date. There are voluminous reasons why this shouldn't be in my hands, but I refuse to acknowledge them. I have this step. I am blessed to be here and I am grateful for this experience. This sounds a little deep for a Friday; sorry, but sometimes you have to recognize and appreciate the fates. We control many facets of our life but in the end we are but a part of a very large and very fragile whole.
The best way I can memorialize all those who were untimely taken from their one life is the get the most out of mine. I will continue living up to that standard and enjoying this amazing ride.
