Momento Mori
“Remember you will die”
Today marks Ash Wednesday on the calendar, the day the begins Lent in the Christian religions, the 40 day period of fasting and atonement leading up to Easter. All religions recognize some form of the this period in some way but the point is to remind us that we are mortal in this form and one day we will die. To be reborn? Well, that’s up to your beliefs.
The point for us in this email is to remember that time is fleeting, we are not guaranteed anything in this world and we need to make the most of the opportunities we are given.
For leaders, that means not waiting for the opportunity to lead, to try a new method or process or most importantly, telling our team how much we appreciate each and every one of them. (Even your biggest critics and pain in the butts!)
Take time to reflect and think about our time and how short it may be. Take that opportunity TODAY!
Lead Forward!
