Are you doodling or creating a masterpiece?

I have been over to my mum's this weekend and we were reminiscing about Easter's with Dad. I remembered asking Dad before he died what he would change about his life...his answer was emphatic

"I would give my life to someone else, otherwise I would feel guilty about having the pleasure of living it again...then I would sit and watch how much they enjoyed it. Anna, you get one shot..make the most of it and never be afraid to share the joy with others"

I have had highs and lows in my business life....however I always remember it is not what happens to you...it is how you respond to it that matters. Your response does not just affect your mood but also of those around you.

I also asked Dad if he had any regrets...."Regrets?" he said laughing. "Regrets are for those who live in the past...me, I prefer to live for the future"

Each moment of your life, your career you are painting another dot in your personal brand story. Each smile, each response, each word  creates that picture for others to see.....are you doodling or creating a masterpiece for others to savor?
