Hurry up and graduate form high school so that you can get to college. Once in college, focus on your studies and have some fun but get moving on to that career. When you are finally ‘out there’ be sure to keep pressing on, chart your career goals and moves, keep climbing up. Vie for leadership and ‘more’ constantly. Watch out for yourself. Don’t be content. Constantly seek the allusive ‘more’.

Or, take a deep    {breath}     and ………….. p-a-u-s-e ……………..

For many of us, we are in a really good situation right now. Perhaps, much better than the situation gets credit for being. You have income (although you can imagine having more to be certain) and you have relationships, colleagues to know and embrace as you work together on ‘changing the world’. Chances are very good that if you take a look around, you also have leadership challenges and growth staring right back at you. Enjoy the NOW. Soak it up. Maximize it. Squeeze the life out of it. Notice it.

Without trying to be overly zen, your life and leadership moments will pass you by quick enough. Enjoy them in the now, not in the future.
