Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
The past 24 hours proved this statement to be so true for me. You see, yesterday, we took the kids swimming at a local lazy river and water slide. As we started to get out of the van, my little six-year-old son came over and gave me a hug. This was a sweet gesture, I thought. Then, he did something that really took me by surprise. He came back over to me, gave me another hug and said, “I love you so much daddy that I just had to give you another hug.” This melted my heart and made me tear up a little. Not much could have spoiled my moment. To say the least…we all had a blast.
As I thought about it, I realized just how this moment had spoken to me. No matter how you are feeling, what the environment provides, how your business is going or whatever the situation…take a look around to be aware of all your surroundings then seize each and every moment so you have no regrets. Be sure to tell the people who are close to you just how special they are.
As we were leaving, I noticed a saying on a T-shirt that applies to this message. It said, “Always try to live your life in a manner so the preacher won’t have to lie at your funeral.”
Think about it…
