Quote of the Day:
Value the people who value you. ~Bill Withers
Why Valuing People Matters:
One thing you’ll learn as you get older is the importance of valuing people.
We can all get so carried away with our work and careers that we can forget what really matters most.
Now I’m sure that your work is important to you and perhaps you even believe that you’re indispensable to your employer.
If you really believe that then, all I can say is, dream on.
From experience, I can tell you that there’s no such thing as indispensable when it comes to being employed.
If you were to die tomorrow then your employer would replace you in a heartbeat and the company would carry on without you. You won’t be missed for long and in all probability, you’d be forgotten fairly quickly.
That’s why it’s essential to ensure that your life has balance.
Yes, of course, you need to work, to earn an income to put a roof over your head and bread on the table. So in that sense, work’s important.
However, it shouldn’t be everything to you. Some things are much more important.
Don’t let time slip through your fingers without having spent some of it on a regular basis with those that really matter to you; the people closest to your heart. That is your loved ones.
Your employer may not miss you for very long, should you pass away, but the family and friends you leave behind would feel a sense of loss for the rest of their lives. For family and friends, you cannot be replaced.
It’s later than you think:
Work gives us a sense of purpose and a sense of identity too, but only people really matter. So valuing people must always take precedence over work and material things.
So make sure you enjoy some time with those that matter to you before it’s too late.
And, you never know, it could be later than you think.
