The day my dad passed away, all i could visualize was the liberman household was now all cash out and no cash in. And so just overawed, this perspective created by my dad's loss made me realize that fulfilment, purpose and achievement for me went beyond just feeling good for myself or attaining success for myself. The third thing that it did was, honestly made me operate in a glass half full manner always. That was my default setting. In everything i was finding opportunity and optimism. So many of our experiences and our careers and our lives are prompted by the stories that we tell ourselves verses the actual facts of what happens.
Let this classic episode serve as a reminder to us all to prioritize friends, family and the power of perspective. Without perspective, you can get lost in the day-to-day grind without a reminder of what it is that you’re grinding for. I have found one of the healthiest ways to strive is through experiences that create perspective.
