A Father is going back into boxing at 57 years old. His son doesn't understand and just wants him to be like the other dads, relax and enjoy his retirement.
Dad: I want to fight again
Son: Yea but... don't you think you're to old?
Dad: Yea but you think you oughta stop trying things cause you had a few too many birthdays? I do not!
Son: What are you trying to prove to other people pop?
Dad: Prove? Listen. I stopped thinking the way other people think along time ago. You gotta think like you think.
Son: Hey it's a different world now. Life is going to catch up to all of us.
Dad: Yea. Your right. Especially if you're standing still.
Especially if you're standing still? Are you standing still? Are you allowing life to catch up to you by focusing on things you aren't in control of. Others will try and keep you right where you are. Why? Because most people stay in their comfort zone and are afraid to fail. Failing is inevitable but standing still is not.
"Some people will wait for something to happen. Others will make it happen."
Which one are you?

Time marches on. If we don't want to get trampled we better get up or get out of the way.
The Ed Agresta once said, "Don't give up, Get Up. Before someone steps by you."
