What Are You Doing That Scares You a Bit?

Matt Birk isn’t a senior housing and services professional; his work is professional football. But check out his thoughts on changing teams after 11 seasons with his hometown Minnesota Vikings:

… My wife and I, my kids, we’re all from Minnesota… And it will always be home. … We’re so comfortable here. I guess if we didn’t do something like this, and take a chance and start fresh (move to the Baltimore Ravens) … I felt I would have looked back on it and regretted it, not doing it … I think sometimes it’s good to leave the familiar comfort zone and do things that scare you a little bit.’

Good luck to Matt as he starts a new adventure in Baltimore and many Changing Aging readers who, like Matt, are doing things that scare them a bit. Life’s short, even if it’s long.
