In the amazing book, Season of Life, author Jeffrey Marx writes, “What happens when you decide to be a man built for others? You strap on the oxygen tank and start climbing stairs to save people in the World Trade Center. When you’re the CEO of a company, you make sure everybody has a living wage, everybody has health insurance, and everybody is treated with dignity and respect. {Showing the same honor and regard to the lowest ranked employee in your business. Fairness is both a responsibility and an opportunity -editors note.} When you’re a high school football player, you play every single snap as hard as you can, with all your talents, because you play not only for yourself but everybody else. As a father, you make sure that you focus on what your children need. You make sure that there’s no one, ever, treated better than the gal you marry…”
I always like the saying “Champions do what others are capable of doing but don’t do” or something like that. Are we supposed to do the above? I don’t know, not everyone WANTS to be a champion. Most will be quick to say they want to be a champion or that they want to be an Impact Player but few, are willing to put in the work and selfless sacrafice it takes. I pray my wife, children,family, employees, customers, & friends percieve me someday to be worthy of the title IMPACT Player. How about you? How do you think others perceive you? It is an interesting question to ask others close to you for honest feedback. How do you percieve me?
