Hi and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me this week. Okay, I was thinking today as we are in the middle of July and I was thinking about one year ago and how much life can change in one year. It's incredible. So, if you don't know, if you haven't been with me for a while, a year ago, my son had come out of Zoom school and had not done very well, like most kids, you know, just wasn't very engaged on the computer all year and had to make up some classwork. So he ended up going to an academic institution. camp for four weeks in July last year. Now it doesn't sound like that big a deal, but let me break it down for you. Again, first world problems, I know, but my son's an athlete and the only camps he'd ever been to are sports camps, right?
To play basketball and do the things he loved. But now it was basically get on a plane, fly to Boston, drive to New Hampshire, go into this really rural camp and do homework and learn all day and you don't get any access to your phone other than 10 minutes a day and you live in a tent. Okay, not that appealing, right? So especially when you're used to living in South Beach, right, in a condo in South Beach and, you know, can basically do whatever you want. Okay, so this was not an exciting time for him. And of course, as a mother, it wasn't really for me either, right? But I knew, listen, the alternative was you're gonna have to repeat the grade if you don't make up the work, right? So he thought long and hard about it.
And he said, okay, I'm clearly not gonna repeat the grade. I need to make up the work. So it was his choice. So, you know, like anything, somebody has to want to put in the work. Someone has to want, to make the change, you know, go to the camp, whatever it may be. And he did want to do that. So that was what mattered. But as we got closer to him leaving, I could sense that he was getting a little nervous and not looking forward to it, of course. And so I'll never forget on the day that he was leaving, he had packed all of his stuff up and he had come out to see me and he said, you know what, this just isn't going to work. I can't fit everything I need in this bag. And it says you can only have one bag, right?
What are effective strategies for staying present while pursuing goals?
There's all these criteria on what you're allowed to bring and what you have to bring. And he couldn't fit it in the suitcase. So he was saying, well, basically this is a wash. It's not going to work. And I said, let's focus on the solutions. He was so focused on the problem. And like anyone, when you're in a rut, you're not looking forward to something. It's easy to go down that path, right?
