Taking the long view. Recently, I dropped my son and new daughter-in-law off at the airport here in San Diego, then went to nearby Harbor Island. This is a two-mile-long peninsula, actually, on San Diego Harbor. And it's completely man-made. It was created by dredging the harbor, which also made for a deeper harbor for Naval ships and cruise ships coming into the harbor, and completed in 1961. i was there during its creation, an 8-year-old boy visiting his grandfather. He had a security patrol company, and had the contract to provide security for the location during non-work hours. When I first went there, it was a very unremarkable small patch of land with an equipment shed. Now, however, its two-mile length is populated by several marinas which harbor thousands of small boats, as well as several restaurants, two high-rise hotels, and Harbor Island Drive Park. It is amazing what changes have been made, and what has been built, in 62 years. As I sat on a bench on that recent warm, sunny San Diego afternoon, watching the sailboats and jet skis passing by, I started thinking about what those 62 years represented in my life. What was the difference between that 8 year old boy and this 70 year old man? What changes had taken place? How had I grown? I realized that I, too, had grown immensely over those decades. How much have you grown over the past 50 or 60 years? Take a few minutes to think about that, and to appreciate it. Be grateful for who you've become, and strive to continue to become the best version of yourself. And keep telling yourself: "I'm Never Done Growing!" --Doug Sohn #success #successmindset #successaftersixty
