Leadership and 40 is the new 20
When I was 18, I thought 30 was old.
When I was 25, I thought 40 was old.
Tomorrow I turn 40.
40 doesn't seem old to me at all.
I am spending lots of time recently wondering if what I have done in the past really matters, and if what do I want to do in the future will have meaning.
I want to make sure I have no regrets.
I am right in the middle of John Maxwell's book titled Leadership Gold. Chapter 13 is titled "Don't Manage your Time - Manage your Life." In it, he says...
"everybody gets 24 hours a day...Nobody - no matter how shrewd - can save minutes from one day to spend on another. No scientist - no matter how smart - is capable of creating new minutes. Even with all his wealth, someone like Bill Gates can't buy additional hours for his day...Twenty-four hours is the best any of us is going to get."
John makes me think about AT&T and their rollover minutes. Wouldn't it be great if we could do that with our life minutes?
But we can't, so I wonder...
Am I using my minutes wisely?
As a leader, are you using your minutes wisely?.
Minutes are precious. Be sure not to waste them.
