Living each day as if it were your last

Over the last month, I've been enjoying work more than I have for a long time. I speak my mind, I think about the legacy I'll leave and I fight for what's right without getting hung up on the politics.

I don't care for the consequences of my actions as long as I'm sure my intent is right. I don't get stressed if my manager is. I don't get stressed if my reportee is screwing up. I don't get stressed if my MFT members do not show the same sense of urgency.

I smile a lot more. I smell the proverbial roses along the way. I'm generally happier.

I know this is because its my last month in my current job. But I wish I had spent my career thus far, taking each day as if it were my last.

Knowing that the worst that can happen is losing your job prevents you from losing more important things - your sleep, your self-respect and your pursuit of happiness........

Whatsay?

This thought I second. Ever since I figured I was about to move to a new assignment, I felt relived of the need to make people happy and could just focus on doing what seemed right. Hope I can carry this through!!
