The 10 Human Victories
As we come to the end of November, please reflect on any of these 10 statements and focus on what relates to you.
1. You reach your end full of happiness and fulfilment on realising that you are all used up – having spent the fullness of your talents, the biggest of your resources, and the best of your potential doing great work and leading a rare-air life.
2. You reach your end knowing that you played at a standard of concentrated excellence and held yourself to the most impeccable standards in each thing you did.
3. You reach your end in noisy celebration for having the boldness of spirit to have regularly confronted your largest fears and realised your highest visions.
4. You reach your end and recognise that you became a person who builds people up versus one who tears people down.
5. You reach your end with the understanding that while your journey may not have always been a smooth one, whenever you got knocked down, you instantly got back up – and at all times, never suffered from any loss of optimism.
6. You reach your end and bask in the staggering glory of your phenomenal achievements, along with the rich value you have contributed to the lives of the people you were lucky to serve.
7. You reach your end and adore the strong, ethical, inspirational and empathetic person you grew into.
8. You reach your end and realise that you were a genuine innovator who blazed new trails instead of following old roads.
9. You reach your end surrounded by teammates who call you a rock star, customers who say you’re a hero, and loved ones who call you a legend.
10. You reach your end as a true Leader Without a Title, knowing that the great deeds you did will endure long after your death and that your life stands as a model of possibility.
