“This is the best time of the day.”
These are the words a colleague uttered to me at 5pm this week as he eagerly exited the office building.
A celebration of eight hours he had exhausted from his finite life.
Hours that’ll never be refunded.
I only find myself back in the rigid corporate environment momentarily as a consultant to inject some added cash to my business venture.
This brief conversation was telling. It reinforced the mindset shift I’ve undergone.
It reminded me I too was once in the corporate drone mindset. Ruing waking up, thirsting for 5pm, craving the weekend, clutching for holidays.
My corporate homecoming shows me how my thinking has shifted.
It renews motivation to succeed as an entrepreneur; removing the need to ever return fulltime to cubicle-bound servitude.
How could I ever return to this environment? To 30-plus years of clock-watching?
The best part of the day shouldn’t be the end. It should be the beginning.
We should be enthused to wake up and welcome what’s ahead of us on this aimlessly spinning planet of ours.
Spending each day willing the hours away is tantamount to incrementally inviting death to greet us.
