I was recently at a Tony Robbins event in San Jose when he said that people often OVER ESTIMATE what they can achieve in one year, and UNDER ESTIMATE what they can achieve in a decade.
Although in theory, 1 year seems like a very long time (and in practice too), I still find myself thinking I can change the world tomorrow. As you may have guessed, I haven't. Or have I?
Key highlights from May 2011 - August 2012:
I ran Akosia's first project in Mexico for a month.
I sent volunteers to run our third project in Ghana.
I was in New York City, Paris, San Miguel, Leon, Mexico City, Madrid, Toronto, San Jose, Siena, Tuscany, Bristol, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, London and probably a few more I have forgotten.
I became the Managing Director of Prove My Concept.
I spoke at the Social Good Summit in NYC last September as one of the eight startups changing the world.
I watched one of my best friends, Chase, get married in Paris.
I met with Lord Young at 10 Downing street.
I left Prove My Concept one year later pursue other dreams and started a company called Graydin.
I delivered a coaching training programme to a school in the UK and they LOVED IT.
People died...a lot of people died.
My friends had babies. A lot of babies.
We often say that "time flies by"...but it really doesn't AT ALL. So much happens to us and it's whether we take a step back to acknowledge that, that makes all the difference.
So try it... Get Some Headspace and enjoy being YOU.
Just for a moment...cause remember time "flies".
