Welcome to Monday Morning Coffee with Emma !
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz of the 'Peanuts' comic strip so powerful that I had to share …✨✨✨
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder them. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?🤔🤔
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.✨✨
These are no second-rate achievers.✨✨
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause… it dies.
Awards tarnish ...Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. ❤️List a few teachers who aided your journey through school
2. ❤️Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time
3. ❤️Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile
4. ❤️Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special
5. ❤️Think of five people with whom you enjoy spending time
Easier?
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money ... or the most awards. ❤️
They simply are the ones who care the most about you and you about them ❤️
I spent so many years chasing the awards only to get burned out and realize that I should have been chasing time with the people I love the most.
I’m not going to remember or care who was top 10 anything in my field in my final days and I definitely don’t want (She was the BEST REALTOR in the 🌎) on my tombstone.
I want amazing experiences with the people that made an impact on my life and hope that I can turn around and do the same for a few people around me 😘😘
PS: I don’t know who needs to hear this but you need to go sit on a beach or by a waterfall and take some time off work …
Join me next week for some inspiration and motivation !
