Going Somewhere
Jean-Pierre De Villiers
I help CEOs achieve real success with more energy, clarity, and fulfillment. With 20 years experience, I elevate leaders’ performance and profit while guiding them to a more purposeful & fulfilling life beyond business.
We're always going somewhere.
But if we always and only focus on where we're going, on what's in front of us, we can very easily forget where we are and also where we've already been and gone.
The one thing you will take with you when you leave this life, are the memories that you had, the experiences that you shared, and the people that you shared those memories and experiences with. Don't get to the end of your life and chase, chase, chase towards that point and wish your life away. If you're living in the future, you'll end up not living at all because you can't live in the future, you can only live in the present.
The most important thing in life is to feel good. And when do you feel good? Now! You can't feel good about tomorrow today. You can only feel good about today right now.
So if life is about feeling good, why wait for a future event. Start today, look at what's around you. Look at who's around you and be more grateful, be more present and look back at your life and remind yourself of everyone that has been on your path with you, on every experience that you've had on your journey and everything that you've become in the process.
