Speaker 1:

Welcome back to oh, that's Fucking Adorable the series where I talk about things that don't go so well. They give me that reaction so you guys can learn and hopefully not repeat the exact same things that go poorly in my life. Today we're going to be talking about what just happened to me last Friday when I left office and, as you guys can probably tell by the title, I hit a deer. Now let's break this down. So is it just one of those scenarios where I hit a deer and there was nothing to learn from it other than the fact that I hit a wild animal? It's about what actually took place prior to me even leaving the office. So it was Friday afternoon, me and the boys we were working on the comp reviews for all the TU members, just kind of shooting the shit too, talking about the week, what we had coming up this weekend, some of the golf rounds that we had played earlier in the week. We love playing golf here at Titanium. I've talked about that regularly on this channel. We go a lot as a team. We had gone the previous Sunday and we were kind of laughing, joking about that, the game that took place, and we were like man, we got to go play at the Tribute out in the Colony. You know it has a Lynx course and it's just so wide open it feels like you're playing at St Andrews and all these famous courses across the world. Man, that would be so much fun for us to go play out there. Well, back in the day when I quit Pizza Hut, I actually was a cart boy at Tour 18 in Flower Mound and I asked Justin and Gary. I was like hey, have you guys ever played Tour 18? And they're like no. And I was like, oh man, we got to go out there someday. Like man, they got to show you. It's like the whole course is built around mirroring and mimicking and recreating these famous golf holes around the country, including, you know, the famous holes like the par 313 at Augusta and some of the St Andrews holes and you know just these famous, the world's most famous golf holes. And I'm like we got to go out there and we got to play two or 18. So I can show you what I used to, where I used to work and all this. And we're just going through it. And then Garrett comes, he sits down at my desk and he takes over. He's like, oh man, we got to go play this course. Oh, we got to go play this course and you know it was a lot of that language. We have to go do this. Why haven't we done this already? We got it, we got it, we got it.

Speaker 1:

And then I get in my car and literally a quarter mile down the road here on boat club road in Fort Worth, texas, a deer comes out of the woods and it sees my car and it jumps and as it jumps, mind you have a brand new car. Okay, I just got a brand new Mercedes EQS 450. Yeah, it's an EV, love it. Super fast, no gas, just instantaneous. I'm flying around. Right, the deer sees it jumps. Right, the deer sees it jumps, it comes down and I clip the back like left hip of the deer on my left front quarter panel headlight. You know the the front little. I don't even want to. I don't even know what you call it. It's not the grill, because there's no grill, because it's an electric vehicle, but the fancy little logo, all of it. Just the hood dented, torn to pieces. I look in the rearview mirror. I don't see the deer. I guess I didn't kill it. It ran off back in the woods, cassie's like a quarter mile behind me.

Speaker 1:

I pull over. I'm upset. I get out of the car. She pulls over. She's like what happened? What's of the car? She pulls over. She's like what happened? What's wrong? I'm like I hit the deer. She's like what deer? She didn't even see it. I'm like no, there was a deer and it ran off, tore the car up, messed up the headlight, messed up the whole front part of the car. I'm going to have to put it in the shop file, the insurance.

Speaker 1:

But as I got back in the car I was thankful. Could have been a lot worse, as the deer was jumping. I mean it could have landed on the windshield. I know people that have gotten hurt. I know people that have died from hitting deers. It's just part of living in Texas. You know we're really not that country. Where we're at, we're just by a lake and yeah, there are some woods, but I mean we are smack dab. I mean we're in Fort Worth, texas, the 12th largest, most populated city in the United States, but we still have deer here in this part of Texas and I was thankful. I was grateful that obviously I didn't get hurt. It could have been a lot worse, that obviously I didn't get hurt. It could have been a lot worse.

Speaker 1:

But I started thinking about the conversation that I had prior to leaving the office, that conversation about all these things that we should do. We got to do this at some point in time when we have time Now. See, we did a great job of last year enjoying ourselves, taking time, carving out and creating that reality where we ended up playing like 32 rounds of golf last year enjoying ourselves, taking time, carving out and creating that reality where we ended up playing like 32 rounds of golf last year, and I'm proud of that. But see, things change. We had time change and because of that it started getting dark at like 5 o'clock. It was a lot harder for us to carve out that time during the work day. Season changing, it got super cold, windy, that horrible winter weather. You can't really golf on some days. The course was closed a lot. In fact, one of the days that we'd go golfing a lot was Mondays. They actually closed the course and said, even for members, we're not going to be open on Mondays, we're going to let that be more of like a day for the well one, for the staff to be off and for the course to kind of regrow and prepare for the next season.

Speaker 1:

So we fell out of the habit of playing golf and now that it's spring season and it's like time to get back into that routine and we're all itching to get it back out on the course, we start saying things like we got to go do this. Man, I really want to play that course. My question is why were we not making plans to go do that? How many different things in our lives do we do that with? Do we sit there and we say one day I have to go do that. One day I have to go play that round at the Tribute. Or one day I'm going to learn how to wholesale real estate, or I'm going to join Titanium University. When the time's right. When is the time right? To be honest with you, the time's never going to be right for us to take time away from the office to go to the tribute and play a round of golf. There will always be a reason as to why we shouldn't do that. But that's the wrong way of looking at it. We should look at it and say today is absolutely the day we should go do that. Today is absolutely the day we should go do that.

Speaker 1:

Several months ago, I recorded a short three-minute video called you Will Win Today, and in that video I talked about you will win today, because today is all there is, and what I mean by that is there is no tomorrow. It's not guaranteed. You're only guaranteed right now, today, as a quick reminder. So I'm thankful that the deer didn't hurt me or tear up my car anymore. Yeah, I wish it would have happened, but things that we wish wouldn't happen are going to happen in our lives At the end of the day. I'm grateful also for the reminder, even though I talk about it all the time create your own reality, go out and do the things that you really want to do, and I feel like we do a pretty decent job of doing that.

Speaker 1:

I still need that friendly nudge and that reminder to say there's never a perfect time. It's just time that you choose to make that your reality. So I'm going to go schedule those rounds of golf. I'm going to make sure we actually do it and not say we should go do it. We're actually just going to do it. What about you? Do you have something that you've been saying you should do, or something that you want to do or something that you're going to do in the future when the time's right. Just make it now, before you realize there is no more time for the future. There is no more time or opportunity for that thing, that desire that you have to be a reality. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. Yes, I am okay. Thank you for asking. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
