When You See It, One Has To Wonder…

This weekend my wife and her close family enjoyed a day of watching polo and wine tasting at a private vineyard in Santa Ynez, California. The day was nothing short of amazing.  I had never been to a polo match before but I had been wine tasting a plenty.  It was awesome!  The horses and the players looked to be having an equally good time and the wine and vineyard tour was just as special.  Some of the polo players were the owner of the vineyard and field, his son and his son-in-law.  While we were getting schooled on the wine a helicopter was parked on the other side of the polo field.  I noticed a car leaving the hilltop residence and had a feeling that that must be the owner of the property, and the vineyard that produced some pretty good wine that we were currently enjoying. The lights of the helicopter came on as soon as the vehicle was in sight.  A bag was grabbed and stuffed into the back of the helicopter.  A door closed and in a few seconds, the helicopter warmed up and lifted off.  I wonder what his story is?  Did he work for it from nothing? Was it left to him?  Did he make a few shrewd deals after college and continued hustling to wind up with this opulence? Well, I may never know, but it sure is a motivator knowing that this kind of opportunity is out there in our world and all you have to do is work for it.  The key word being work.  Life is work, happiness is work, relationships require work, all of the good stuff in life require work.  I hear that the 1% sleep 4 hours a day or less.  Something to think about.

    How true. Even those who have been fortunate enough to have someone else lay the ground work for them still have to work to keep it going. Take the Kennedy family for example – there are many others out there. Life’s journey is short -sieze every minute of it.
