“Get to the Heart of the Matter” – Part One
A Brand New Brad Cullen Series, by Doug Ferguson, the same OLD author . . .
Yesterday morning around 10 am I received a call from St. Augustine about 350 miles north of here, “Hi Grandpa.”
It was the mother of my 25 year old great-grandson, the potential progenitor of my first great-great-grandchild …since he’s the only great-grandchild so far. She told me that she and her husband were driving down to Key West and wanted to know if we could meet for lunch in Fort Lauderdale around 2:00.
Something painful happened. A picture was taken and I look well over 100 years old! My most recent driver’s license and passport photos were a bad enough shock to my system, but this picture along with losing my balance for a couple seconds led me to some deep introspection.
On the thirty minute drive back to home and office, I also felt driven to ask quietly, “Was this a wakeup call to be busy about what I’m meant to be doing? And which received the answer in the title …“Get to the Heart of the Matter.”
At 88 I’m currently the CEO of an advertising agency helping local businesses recover from one of the worst years for small businesses since the Great Depression of the 1930s; and my partner, the founder of the agency and Chairman of the Board of the parent company, is also in his eighties, just not in so deeply.
A profound peace came over me as I uttered the “prayer” that always gets me back on and to the purpose for my being here …”I want YOUR will unto the death of every other ambition.”
I was assured it wasn’t a matter of either or, but of BOTH this AND that.
“This” being continue to work with my close friend and partner of over 50 years and “that” also being busy about something I started by writing the 11-part, Brad Cullen series on reverse aging (link below). Do I ever need to get serious about doing some of the things that I’ve researched and are in the medical literature with peer review scientific research to be found in such prestigious places as New England Journal of Medicine, Harvard Medical Review, Mayo clinic and others.
Making the turn into our street, getting tensed up and ready to get back to an agency project – I heard, “Don’t get ahead of me;” oops, what now?
I immediately knew what the “heart of the matter is.” FEAR! Come back to Heart of the Matter Part two …and I’ll tell you all about it. The links to Reverse Aging series:
