What Do You Take for Granted?

Last week during class, I showed my students a video clip on being resilient. After it was over, I asked them to write down everything they could remember from the clip. I'd like to ask you to do a similar exercise. Take a piece of paper and pen and for 30 seconds, write down everything and everyone you do not want to take for granted. Did it get easier the more you wrote or harder?

Today we signed our new wills. What a great reminder that life is short, and there are people and things that we hold precious. Let's not waste time wishing we had not taken them for granted. Now, keep writing on that list!

Thanks for listening.
