Of all the lessons you can learn from Power Players, recognising the big things as they happen is the big prize.
Most of us don’t get what is happening as it is happening – or worse, we miss the biggest opportunities as they are staring us in the face.
Regrets and the ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ cliché will kill you… slowly. Talk about death by a thousand paper cuts.
Power Players do everything they can to be present in their lives and see the big moments as they are happening. This allows them to celebrate the great stuff and mark important and successful occasions in their lives.
It’s annoying to everyone around you if you constantly remind them of what could have been. We all know someone who lives in the past and we want to take a frying pan to the side of their head. Don’t let this be you.
