Leadership Tip
How Are You Punctuating Your Life?
Last week I attended a friend's funeral.
It
was very sad for this dynamic
and loved man passed way too early.
I was inspired by one of the eulogies
which
emphasized a punctuation mark.
One's birth year and death year
are separated by a dash.
For example, 2009-2090.
The two years represent the
beginning and end
of life.
We do not have much control
of these dates.
The
dash represents
all the years in between.
We do get to have a
lot of input
into the dash years.
These years are comprised by our choices.
-Are you living how, where and with whom you want?
-Are you doing those things which make you feel alive?
-Are you making a difference?
-Are you passionate about what you do?
-Are you taking care of yourself?
The dash - a simple punctuation mark
with so
much meaning.
What are you doing with your dash?
In memory of Dr. Alan Marc Levine
