Transcript:
This week’s Monday Motivation quote is from Sir William Osler, one of the founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital. “We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.”
This feels like the right season to be reminded of this. It feels natural around the holidays to think of others and giving rather than receiving. Decorating your home so people feel warmth when they enter, Baking Granny's shortbread so others can taste a bit of her love. Adding value to the world through how we act and speak.
Cause some people walk around disappointed. Unfulfilled because they start each day believing their greatest need is to be loved, seen and appreciated, and we don't always get that.
I believe fulfilment comes when, at the end of the day, we have loved, seen and appreciated others.
That perspective changes everything. Relationships change! Life can change. Happy Monday.
