Today is my 50th birthday.

After reflecting on what has transpired over the last year, I realized that the past 12 months were a lot like the year before that.

My income is pretty much the same.

I am still giving the same number of speeches on innovation. 

I’m on the road the same number of days.

I haven’t written any new books or released any new products.

I am still in a relationship with the same awesome woman.

April 2014 looks a lot like April 2013.

For many, this might be a disappointing realization. They may wonder, “What have I done with my life during the past year?”

I, on the other hand, smiled when I discovered this.

Life (from my perspective) is not about change for change sake. There is nowhere to get to. Life is not a race. Change would not make my life inherently better. The past 365 days were amazing. And I am confident that the next 365 days will be even better…even if I only did more of the same.

Are you so worried about “improving” that you fail to enjoy your life as it is right now?
