Today marks the highlight of my lifeToday marks the highlight of my lifeIn the middle of watching wingsuit videos the other day, the athlete shared a startling bolt of wisdom from the blueToday marks the highlight of my life, he says as he readies his climb over a railing 10,000 feet up.Moments like this are why I live, why I feel like Im on this planet.When a Man is tired of Wingsuit Videos, he is tired of Life joked James Fallows, paraphrasing Samuel Johnsons famous quip about London.True wingsuit videos and full-screen mode thrill in a way that transports you to a magical feeling.The athlete in this video, Marshall Miller, focused on his goal for a decade, which leads me to askWhats your goal?What day off in the future are you preparing for? When will you be able to say today marks the best day of mylife?If you could describe it, what would that day be? What would you be doing? How would you feel about achieving it?And then ask yourself what does it take to get there? What are all the steps Id have to follow to proceed from where I am today to this best day? What kinds of obstacles would I have to overcome? What challenges would I face?And then why dont I do that? Why dont I get started today?Because, having given career advice for almost two decades, the most effective advice I ever give is why dont you go do that? when someone tells me their dreams.And then no, thats notlage really a problem, you can figure it out and overcome it, when I ask what would prevent them from achieving that dream. (If you dont believe that, then read my story last year on the one-armed man who became a world champion kickboxer.)You have it within you to have the highlight of your life in the decade ahead. Will you start, today, on achieving it, on jumping from the mountaintop, on flying through space and time to your future best day ever?I know youll be able to say, sooner than you thinkMoments like this are why I live, why I feel like Im on this planet.Im rooting for you
