“Everyone dies eventually, whether they have power or not.
That’s why you need to think about what you’ll accomplish while you’re alive.” – Mary Macbeth
.
“No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words
left unsaid and deeds left undone.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe
“When it’s time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.” – Henry David Thoreau
Are you a Top-Performer?
Does your employer genuinely appreciate your commitment and talents?
If you move heaven and earth for your employer to help them prosper, will they remember you a year later… or will your new boss be discovering your name for the first time?
How are your professional commitments meshing with your overall life goals as a person?
Bluntly… most of our waking hours are typically allocated to getting ready for work, working and then winding down from work.
Fast forward… in the final hour of your life, when you’re meeting your maker… and you’re asked… “What did you do with your life”?
- What will you mention regarding your professional choices?
- How many excuses for making the choices you “had to make”, will be supported by your maker?
- How will you explain the percent of your talents you chose to use primarily for self-serving purposes; vs. helping others not blessed with your wonderful Talent Portfolio?
If you’re working in a large Non-Profit and not a National or International CXO … are you doing so because its more attractive than being a middle manager in a mid-to-large for-profit company?
If you’re working in the Non-Profit sector primarily because you say you genuinely believe in the mission… are you doing everything you can to provide:
- Food for the hungry?
- Shelter for the abused?
- Homes for the orphans?
- Etc.?
… or are you doing just enough traditional Non-Profit stuff to meet your basic goals, while looking good and feeling that you’re doing enough?
Here’s the Litmus Test: If it was your family who didn’t have food… clean water… a home… or were being abused… would you try just a little harder while implementing new ways to raise money to help you and your family?
.
This is what others who are hurting and in real need… are counting on you to do!
Societies around the globe have observed the reality, that we’re not really all in this together. Sigh!
How do you think your maker sees this, “we’re all in this together” thing, when
that pops up during your final, personal meeting about how you spent your life?
Be a Top-7% Difference Maker… not only will your maker bless you…
you’ll bless your own life! Help your angels… help you… help yourself!
