Physical or mental training?
Today I went to the gym to do cardio and ran into the nicest elderly gentleman. He looked like he needed someone to talk to so, I opened up a conversation. Boy, did I ask for a bucked of worms!
He invited me to sit down and have a conversation with him. Twenty minutes later, I left 20 minutes educated in finance. I’ve always wanted to learn and God just strategically placed this gentleman in my path. To turn out, he’s a professor in the mastes program for International Finance.
Even though I did my cardio, I was more mentally refreshed and left the gym with the biggest smile on my face. God’s good.

Isn’t it great how much knowledge and wisdom is held by our elders. It is kind of sad that we have gotten away from sitting down with our elders to let them share their wisdom with us. I am glad that you took that time to sit down with him. I bet you probably made his day just as much as he made yours. Great post!!!.

It 2206 and I’m still pumped about it. I’ve always wanted to travel the world and sit down with my elders and just listen and then, write their stories. Today’s experience reminded me of a childhood dream that I forgot about.
Have a great night BB.
