Life is a series of interactions.
Some are personal…some are planned…some are
serendipitous
All of these interactions have served to build the
reservoir of experience, knowledge and ultimately wisdom that has brought you
to this point in your life and career. Clearly some of these interactions have
been more special than others.
What if you would take but five minutes to reach out
to those who had served you well? To
whom would you want to say ‘…thank you; you made an important contribution to
my life…’
I don’t mean family members or others in your close
circle. I’m referring to that coach who
prodded you to work harder to develop your skills; that co-worker who offered
encouragement during a difficult time; a mentor who came alongside for a period
of time; the leader who put trust in your abilities that you could not see in
yourself.
We have an aversion to getting too transparent…too
vulnerable. It’s a common and natural
self defence mechanism. Combine that
with the immortality that most of us take for granted, and it becomes all too easy
to procrastinate.
Right now stop reading this blog and compile of list
of the most important people who have built into your life. Then communicate with each of them in manner
that expresses the importance of their influence.
Following through on this suggestion will bless you
and them more that you will ever know…and that’s the perfect reason for doing
it!
