Today, Wednesday, February 5, 2025, was a day of another first for me. Today, I participated in a rite of passage for all of us that have achieved a certain age. A medical procedure that while is considered invasive is does not feel like it. Well, after the procedure it felt like it was over before it started.

The preparation leading up to this life event, now that was something that felt was never going to end. Before anybody tells you drinking a gallon of laxative over the course of several hours is the most difficult part of a colonoscopy, they are right!

It was most certainly the most dreaded part of the process, I heard horror stories about the 1 Gallon of Liquid Hell and the “immediate” reactions. For the grossly curious, I started after I finished the gallon.

So what does this have to with anything?

It has everything to do with everything, everywhere. It has to do with the obvious: Everyone that can should have a colonoscopy. Consider it part of being proactive when it comes to your health.

It is also a good test of how your digestive system is working. Again, being proactive.

Again, so what does this have to with anything?

Take Care of Yourself and Be Proactive!

Here we are finishing the last weekend in January and what have we to show for it?

So far this has happened to all of us:

We started a new year.
A New President of the United States of America successfully transitioned into office.
Life went on as it did on December 31, 2024.
We are all a little older and hopefully a little wiser.
Change has come, gone, and tomorrow will bring more change just like it did on December 31, 2024.

On the precipice of February 2025 we now have to take a moment or two and ask ourselves “NOW WHAT?“

Personally, that is the question to ALWAYS be asked. Asked, no matter the situation, no matter the conversation, no matter the idea.

Professionally, NOW WHAT should be standard for everything action, every plan, every strategic initiative, everything!

NOW WHAT?
You ask and answer it. You alone know what is next for you in your personal, professional, and private life.

Ask “Now What?” to challenge yourself, to challenge others, and to challenge everything.

Of course, asking “Now What?” should always be a conversation starter and never the conclusion. Then again, when something ends ask, “Now What?“

It really helps to keep the conversation going (it should always be going).

Now What?
