Another trip around the sun 🌍✨
Wandering on the Third Rock from the Sun!
As I begin my 51st annual tour on the third rock from the sun, I’m feeling deeply grateful—for the many birthday wishes, the thoughtful messages, and especially those who reached out directly. Your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed.
This milestone has me reflecting on the journey so far—on the failures, the many successes, and the lessons in between. Life has been a mix of chaos and clarity, and through it all, I keep coming back to the four cardinal virtues: courage, wisdom, temperance, and justice and the overarching reminder via a latin phrase – “memento mori”.
In today’s world, where scarcity, comfort, power, and ego often dominate, I’m choosing to turn inward. To quiet the ego. To practice humility. To prepare—not just for what’s next, but for the moments when preparation meets opportunityBy doing so, I prepare myself to take meaningful action when opportunity arises — for luck, after all, is when preparation meets opportunity.
So here’s to another year of reasonable self-scrutiny, of moving forward with awe, wonder, and joy. Thanks for being part of the ride. 🚀💫
And remember, don’t be a douchebag, and if you are - stop it!
