The View from the Summit
Bread for tonight. Learning to fly one day. Three months in Europe you have been talking about for eleven years. Your mother's doctor. The notebook, the phone, the apps. You have always had places to put it. Never anyone to carry it with you.
You have shouldered all of it alone, because there was nobody else. That is not a discipline problem. It is a hands problem, and no amount of getting up earlier has ever fixed it.
A ship's manifest is the complete declared list of everything aboard, signed by the captain. THE MANifest is that, pointed at your life. Every concern a man carries, large or small, worked by him, his Chief, his people and his crew.
Nothing is too small. Nothing is too big. The bread becomes a nudge when you are near the store. Learning to fly stops being a someday. Three schools within an hour of you, what the license really costs, and the first call to make. Europe arrives as months that actually work, a real number, and an answer for the house while you are gone.
You carried it alone because there was nobody else. Not anymore.
Hey, I'm Russ Borden, founder of Second-Half Man.
Get on the list.
One hour. I show you the mountain and how I climbed it. Nothing is held back and there is no pitch you have to sit through to get the good part.
