"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come."
A few years ago, we launched a costume company called This Guy Costumes.
Our observations at the time was that men's costumes was an area of opportunity.
When it came to naming this new venture, I remember tossing around either This Guy or That Guy as the name.
This Guy won out.
Today this has much more meaning to me than it did 5 years ago.
That guy is about what other's are thinking.
"That guy over there..."
"That guy is the guy who....."
"Look at That guy......"
This guy is about what I believe about myself.
"This guy can do that....."
"This guy will take care of it................"
"This guy has what it takes........"
I lived most of my life seeing myself as that guy, the guy seen through other people's eyes.
Now, I could care less about being that guy.
The only thing that matters is my relationship with This Guy.
It breaks down to one simple question and one simple answer.
Question: Who's the man?
Answer: This Guy!
Shavua Tov!
