Don't Miss It Until It's Gone


This is a beautiful song!  Thank you Tamia.  The title is "Almost" if you don't know.  But aside from that, I like the way the video displays different items where something is missing.  Examples include the teddy bear missing an eye or the bicycle missing a wheel.

This reminds me that it's about the sum of all parts working together to create something great.  Sometimes, we take things for granted.  I don't think it's intentional; I think some people, places, or things are just always there.  It's rare when they are not.

For example, if you are right handed, you probably think you rarely use your left arm.  Now, if you were unable to use your left arm, you would realize that you use it more than you thought.  It would probably aggravate you once you can't use your arm and you realize how much you need it.

The same can apply in business.  Whether you are the boss or an employee, it takes everyone's involvement to achieve success.  It is possible to reach goals without everyone performing at their highest level but it may take longer to reach that goal.  Remember, everyone has value and something to contribute to the team.  When someone goes on vacation or takes a sick day, it's easy to see what is missing and what they bring to the group.  Just make sure you tell them when they return.

Lastly, in love, this is something that is often taken for granted.  Sometimes, we don't say the words enough or we just say them but they don't really have any meaning behind them.  Don't just say "I love you" to say it.  Think about all the reasons why you love that person.  Then tell them why you love them.  Everyone likes to hear those three words but I think it's stronger if you give those three words with a few extra words.  This last bit of advice is something I can use as well.  It's often the ones closest to us we take for granted.

In closing, don't wait until it's too late to appreciate the small things because they often have a large impact on life, business, and love.
