Went for a for a 'short back and sides, fringe on top' earlier.
Cool story Luke, I hear you say....Hear me out!
There was an old chap in there having his haircut who was before me, I don't know his name.
I am going with Albert, he looked like an Albert...
So Albert was sat in the chair taking off his hearing aids and explaining to the barber to be a little careful as he had, had brain surgery earlier this year.
Once the barber had finished, Albert turned to me and said...
"Sorry for taking so long young man, things take a little longer now I am 90, what I give to be 70 again"
Albert wanted to be 70 again!!!
Yet at times I find myself whinging about heading towards 40!
My take away message after speaking to 'Albert' for a few minutes was....
Do we really appreciate how YOUNG we are?
We often see that picture on our phones that reminds us how young we looked back in 2014.
But isn't it mad, if you took a picture of yourself today, you would look back at the picture in the future and think 'Look how young I look there".
I know we always hear, 'you're never going to be as young as you are today blah blah blah....
BUT the reality is... We are not, are we?
A fact that none of us can disagree with, that one day in the future, we will be wishing we were the age we are right now.
Make sure 90 year old you isn't annoyed with (input current age) year old you for not squeezing as much juice out the lemon as possible.
MAKE IT COUNT!
