Reminder

Nick Momrik2 Comments

I wore this pin on my varsity jacket in high school.

No matter how hard I worked at being a better basketball player, I never wanted to think I was better than I actually was. There was always someone better and someone working harder. It was a motivational thing.

A couple of weeks ago I was looking through some stuff from my younger years and didn’t find the pin in with my medals, which had all been on my jacket at one point. I asked Mom about the pin and she found it still attached to my jacket, hanging in the basement. I couldn’t believe it. She brought it down to me last night and it’s found a new home on my gym bag.

Never stop working hard.

Don’t settle.

There Is No Better Time Than Right Now

While having a conversation with a friend today, I was reminded of a comment from another friend a few years ago.

Stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you’ve had a drink, until you’ve sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now…
