For today, I do want
to "break with tradition" and write on the weekend, sharing with you a quick insight
that came to me this afternoon. It's about responsibility—I guess because I spent most of the day
with my children and was reminded how much responsibility I have to them and we
all have to those we have stewardship over and responsibility for. Whether
that's your kids, your partner, your employees or whoever ... a big part of
leading a "Triumphant" life is being a “pattern of Triumph” that
others can learn from … of doing what it takes to make a difference in others’ lives. Only then have we truly
Triumphed, at least in this "Umpher's" opinion.
I think it's fair to say
that no one can ever, truly say they've Triumphed without having
helped a few others along the way, and oftentimes many ... in business, marriage, parenthood, entertainment, innovation, education, or what have you. TRIUMPH, by its very nature, adds
to and amplifies the lives of those it touches. We Triumph most when WE touch one
another (and I'm not talking foot rubs or bear hugs). You know what I'm getting at.
The following ad from
Liberty Mutual Insurance is an effective reminder of this truth. I get
emotional almost every time I see it.
Hey, have a nice
weekend, everybody. It's already half-way over but I'm still going to enjoy the
rest thoroughly. I hope you do too. Don't forget to watch the clip.
Live responsibly....
