Tim Russert
Dear Harlan,
For some strange reason I was shocked about the passing of Tim Russert. I'm not really sure why since I never met him nor did I watch his show that much. Maybe it was the fact that he's just a few years older than me, or that he died suddenly, or
that his doctor said he had just passed a stress test in April, which I also did. Or maybe, just maybe, I should eating better and exercising more.
No, I think it was more than that. It brought home my own mortality and that when's its over, it can come suddenly without warning and without time to say good-bye.
What does this have to do with practicing law and marketing? To mean it has to do with getting hung up in the grind and forgetting to forgive others and myself. To be a bit less judgmental, not nearly as ready to "make someone wrong," not nearly as impatient, not nearly as peeved or frustrated...all things that sometimes occur practicing law and being involved in a stressful career.
But equally as important, it brought home to me that life is short and why not experience more fun and enjoyment...even in my career? So, I don't know about you but I'm going to start to bring into my career more activities that contribute to my sense of joy and happiness... spending more time doing things and being with people I care about deeply.
So, thank you Tim.
Stay well and be happy,
Cole
