I never know what the reaction will be with some of my thoughts, so reading your comments was very helpful to me. Cliff, by the way, has to be one of the all-time classic characters in sitcom history. But Coach was my favorite Cheers character. Thank you both for your comments on this piece.

Thank you for this wonderful auto-bio/ reflective/ motivational post. Most people are plagued by past failures and cannot move on to truly live in the moment. I don't mean 'in the moment' like some drunken, rebellious, self absorbing & self indulgent fool. Some of us look too much forward or backward and miss the present completely. Guilty I've been many times. Your questions about fear ring true. I've had points where the fear of failing was crippling. Pushing myself into a corner with further hesitation. Being blessed with abilities to pick up things quick and easily as a youngster had the effect of me wandering from thing to thing and choosing not to really ever give my all for a sustained period of 2yrs or more in any one endeavor. And in this info loaded/ accessible world, most are becoming jacks of all trades, knowledge about everything with no continual strengthening of core foundations/ positive traits/ skill sets.

I believe that all of us to some degree are fearful of the unknown. I also believe that these uncertain times compounds this uncertainty and therefore, drives us to an highten state of fear and forces us to proceed with greater caution. Operating cautiously can do more harm than good. Like a football team that gets ahead and tries to play it safe, only to lose the game when the other team aggressively attacks, Fearful times can cause us to try and play it safe, waiting for better times ahead. in these difficult and uncertain times, we need to remove the fear from ourselves and our people, just like the passing of your father removed the fear from you. What a compelling and thought provoking piece.
