Win Win
I had my first VIP experience at the Varsity today. I love free rewards with points, because this was the best time to just go watch a movie and it turned out to be free! Yes!
I found the dry humor refreshing and I loved the expanded idea of love and family. Sometimes life just happens and can take you on these profound paths. And people really are the key to success. It gets me thinking of a conversation I had with a friend. Her idea and definition of success (which I completely agree with) is a life lived with love and people; and that if that’s all you have at the end of your life, then it was a life well lived. On the other hand, other people think success is being able to shine on the world stage and that if you aren’t worth anything publicly, then you wasted your life, space and resources.
But I think it was only when Kyle came into their lives that perhaps Mike realized that what he had was a successful life, despite his failing law practice. Not every person will be a person who will add to your success (as defined by surrounding yourself with love and people), because there will always be toxic individuals that take significantly more than they add, but I think I need to try and be more open to the Kyles in my life who just might reveal the hidden potential success. I think the more I remove myself from predefined assumptions and expectations, the more fulfilled I feel and successful I am. I hope I can keep it up.
