In an issue of Best life,
I came across a line from George Clooney: “ you only have a short period of
time in your life to make your mark”. Obvious? May be . Yet so true.
It’s easy to get so caught up in
the daily administrivia that you forget about building your legacy. Easy to
become so focused on your problems that you neglect to chase your ideals. Easy
to get so pulled into the ordinary pursuits of life that you lose sight of the
Extraordinary. Yet, life spins by at an alarmingly fast rate. And if you don’t
use each day to do even one thing to make your mark and to advance your vision
and to become your brilliance, you may miss what truly counts. Makes me think
of the words of consultant Richard, who observed, “ People over 65 were asked ‘
if you could live your life over, what would you do differently?. They said
three things – I’d take time to stop and ask the big questions. I’d be more
courageous and take more risks in work and love. I’d try to live with purpose –
to make a difference”. That says it all.
“If you don’t use each day to do even one thing to make
your mark and to advance your vision and to become your brilliance, you may
miss what truly counts”
