“Success
is not measured by your achievements, but by the lives we bless.” – B.R. Jensen
Bachelor of Arts degree.
I lost 84 pounds.
Master of Arts degree.
California Notary Public.
Author of 4 books.
I can easily list what I think are some of my accomplishments.
Sadly, I am not as in tune with the above reminder from author B.R. Jensen. I
should care more about who I have blessed and how often I have been a blessing.
How do we, as a society, move toward a place where we value one another more
than we value our own success?
During the workweek I send out, potentially, hundreds
of emails. I work for a nonprofit organization that employees over 70,000
people and my department has the opportunity to touch each of those
individuals.
At the close of each email I post a quote from my
collection of favorites. I change the quote on my outgoing work email messages
once every three days. In 2018, there were 20 email messages that drew positive
feedback from my coworkers. I have collected those quotes and ranked them based
upon amount of feedback into the top 20 for the year. These are quotes that
inspired my colleagues, moved them or made them laugh.
This though provoking sentiment from a thought
provoking writer earned the twelfth spot on the list of the most popular quotes
of the year.
