 What will you regret at the end of your career? How can you act now to avoid that regret? At EMI we help engineers and technical professionals become better leaders, but through these Monday morning motivators we inspire people to be the best people they can be. Darren Aronofsky said, I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets, so I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you're following your passion. I like this quote because of the way the author talks about passion, saying he wants to end up at a point where he has no regrets. This is a great way to approach your career and life. I chose passion as a topic this week because of something that I saw in a coffee shop years ago that has stuck with me and I recently thought of it. A man and a woman were having a very engaging conversation. They were looking at photos, paging through books and notebooks. Excitement was apparent in everything they said and did. I felt their energy and really wanted to know what they were talking about, so I leaned their way and listened intently. They were talking about running, yes running. As I listened I realized they were two runners preparing for a marathon and they were discussing every detail from breathing techniques to their practice schedules and locations. My initial reaction was surprised that they were so engaged in a conversation about running, but the next thing that came to my mind was passion. They were passionate about running and it showed. What are you passionate about? Are you doing it every day? If not, will you regret not doing it? Now is the perfect time to start focusing more on your passion. Maybe that's developing a new skill set or developing a new service line for your company. Why not start today? Have a great week.
