I finally gave in to Laura’s urgings and went through some old boxes that I brought with me from the old apartment.  In one of them, I found my Playstation 1 along with my library of games.  Looking at the titles got me nostalgic, so I plugged it in.  Much to my surprise, it still worked!  Most of the games I had were sports titles and I discovered just how much fun it was to play your favorite teams with old rosters.  I cracked a smile when Sergei Zholtok delivered a hit to Brian Bellows during my game play :-).  Although the graphics were much poorer than I remembered, it was still a ton of fun.  Hopefully whoever ends up with the system and games gets as much fun out of it as I did.

Because whatever got you where you are today is no longer sufficient to keep you there.

The edge that comes from the additional knowledge or skill you have over your professional peers becomes duller with every new day.  Being good looking and sweet isn’t enough to maintain a stimulating relationship, although it may have landed you the relationship in the first place.  Going to the gym twice a week and eating whatever you wanted when you were 18 doesn’t cut it when you’re 30 if you want to be in great shape.

In my experience, it seems like complacency just happens.  In reality it’s a choice, especially if you have the statement at the top of the post in mind.  Unless you’ve conciously decided not to, start getting better at whatever is most important to you.  You’ll either feel better about it or realize it wasn’t that important to you to begin with.
