Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders, these twists and turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours still remain.-Rob Thomas-musician
What challenges are driving you nuts at work? What customers have you lost? What things do you feel you have absolutely no control over? Good news isit doesnt really matter. While your career is an important part of your existence, it is only an activity sandwiched in-between the most important part of your lifewhich are the small hours spent with the most important people in your life.
This realization struck me again after arriving home from a spring break with my family. As I sat in my office viewing pictures from the trip, assembling my cheesy vacation video dubbed with sappy music, I once again realized WHY we all work so hard. Its for them. And because they are so important, we owe it to them to do everything we can to be the best at what we do. Will we ever be the best? I dont know. But remembering that everything starts and ends with the ones we love will continue to provide the fuel we need to never stop improving, learning, and caring for everybody we touch throughout the day.
So this week, take 15 minutes in your office and pull out that old photo album, or spend some time with the digital pictures on your computer. You will feel emotions you havent felt in a while. But by remembering these small hours, you will be reminded of why you exist.
This is adorable. It made my day :]
