LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS…
By Mike Leber

While you might be busy chasing a career

But don‘t forget about what slips away.

Things time will never give back:

✅ Time with your parents while they’re still around
✅ Presence in moments that mattered most
✅ Your child’s laughter in their early years
✅ Your health once it’s been sacrificed
✅ Dreams you buried to play it safe
✅ Words you left unspoken

True happiness isn’t found in

➟ Job titles
➟ Money earned
➟ Business results
➟ or flashy status symbols

Balance and fulfillment come from:

1️⃣ Defining success on your own terms
↳ Not society. Not LinkedIn. Just you.
✔️ It gives you freedom, not pressure, to your path.

2️⃣ Blocking time for what fills your soul
↳ If it’s not in your calendar, it won’t happen.
✔️ You avoid burnout by fueling what makes you whole.

3️⃣ Protecting your energy like a treasure
↳ Not every ask deserves a “yes.”
✔️ You stay strong for what truly counts.

4️⃣ Nurturing your relationships
↳ Careers may fade – but connections last.
✔️ You build strength through those who support you.

5️⃣ Saying no to what steals your peace
↳ Peace isn’t luck – it’s built with boundaries.
✔️ You reclaim space to think and breathe.

6️⃣ Celebrating the small victories every day
↳ Don’t wait for grand moments to feel proud.
✔️ You train your mind to notice progress, not pressure.

7️⃣ Being present, not just busy
↳ The now is the only moment guaranteed.
✔️ You find calm, clarity, and real joy in life.

Don‘t live a life filled with regrets.

See what truly matters.
Embrace every moment.
Because time flies.

Be the leader of your life!
