Years ago my old boss tried to give me advice and I didn’t listen.

Mostly because I wasn’t yet at his life stage. Married, family, kids in school. I was freshly in Los Angeles and focused on making friends and connections wherever I could. But as I enter the phase of life where he was when he doled out the advice it truly makes sense.

Each new school year is your new New Year. Your starting over point. Your new time of year to make resolutions that stick.

All of that rings true. But I’d like to add another line.

The energy of this season is vibrant, work to hang onto that feeling for as long as you can.
