Have you ever had something happen in your life that took you back to a certain place in time (déjà vu)? Have you ever felt like you’re living Groundhog Day (replaying the same day over and over again)?
Recently our team experienced a true “Blast from the Past.” And if you read our newsletter, you did, too!
Our team has been diligently working on a new website and blog at www.billycox.com. Many of our old newsletters from the past five years had to be transferred to our new site archives. Our new site is set up to pull up our latest post and “blast” it out to our newsletter subscribers. Therefore, each day for several days the last newsletter that was transferred to our new site was blasted out to you.
Interestingly, the response has been phenomenal. We have received tons of e-mails telling us they are loving the old archives. Plus, we have thousands of new subscribers since we started this newsletter five years ago. Feel free to check out our newsletters at www.billycox.com and see how we have transformed over the years.
I can tell you that reflecting on the past is good. Groundhog Day, some days, is inevitable. And déjà vu is OK … as long as you don’t live there for long. The problem is when people live Groundhog Day over and over. They set New Year’s goals and by the middle of January already have forgotten them ─ losing the opportunity to learn from the past.
So, as we launch into the future and start a new chapter in this exciting journey called life, take some time to reflect on the past, enjoy the magic moments and learn the lessons. In today’s crazy, fast-paced, A.D.D world we can easily get so caught up in the DESTINATION that we miss the JOURNEY.
Your Friend,
Billy Cox
