I changed my website URL yesterday. It was time.
But what started out as a convenience decision turned into something significant...and it really began to resonate with me.
You can now visit my site at alexbarrett.xyz ...I thought it sounded cool. It’s easy to remember. After all, if Alphapet (Google) moved their site (most clever one of all time: abc.xyz) over, I could too!
I thought I was just changing the address. I think I was changing the way I wanted to look at my life.
XYZ…
I’m turning another year older today. The closer I get to 40 the more I start to think about legacy. Every day is another opportunity to write my story in a way that others might actually be interested in it after I’m gone.
Will I leave this world a better place because I was here?
I feel like my life story is just beginning. I’ve just been performing dress rehearsals up to this point. The next chapter begins, and it’s the XYZ of my life that I want to impact.
XYZ…
I’ve always been pretty good at ideation / starting new projects / the front end / the launch. And I’ve always been a proponent of leveraging your strengths. But I want to do better at finishing well, too.
I’m an ABC guy...but I want to start with the mindset of the finish. I can take the first step...I need to focus on the next step...so that my final step is on the mountain top.
I think you need both. The faith to start, and the faith to complete.
XYZ…
Legacy matters. Tomorrow will eventually be today. The ABCs are ready to go, and I just want to keep pushing them to the XYZs. I hope you’ll join me. I want us to get there together!
God Bless,
