Eye Opener
Sometimes there are things that like a boot to the side of the head or a crash barrier right in front of you that make you stop and think. Today at 03:00 I had one of those moments. Starting January 1st, 2010, my organisation, that I put together out of a desperate idea that I was worth more than I was making will be 30 years old. What sort of legacy have I built in those 30 odd years? Well, I do know that I have made an impact on over 200 lives to the positive, but what else have I done that I didn’t, or didn’t know how to that would have been better served? That was the ton of bricks that whacked me in the head. It doesn’t matter what I didn’t do, it matters more what I do! The NOW, as in Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now is where my focus must be. This very blog must now be aligned with what my vision is and that must be something that everyone, customers , me and my organisation must be able to understand.
So what am I thinking now? That I have a mission and that is to take it to the next level, find my “A” game and let practice and discipline take hold. Play with my heart in the game and win or lose, I will win and in the end that is what counts. Not the number of breaths I took, but quite literally how many moments took my breath away because of what they represented to me and those I cherish, whether they be family, friends, colleagues or customers. The clock is ticking>>> What are you doing NOW?
