There is much we can leave behind. There is much we need more of, by needing less. Artefacts in my home office remind me of essential ingredients.
Wisdom. Health (also: sanity). Poetry (broadly: words, music, writings). Love.
And coffee.
Over time I have come to realise that the main inner purpose driving me is to make a difference. To people (not minding orgs and structures). Aspiring to inspire with integrity and dignity (not minding careers and demigods). Scrum.
It’s been my path so far. The human trail I left behind is my testimony. And Scrum, seriously. The journey into the unknown futures will continually define who I am, some identity. A path to be discovered.
Nothing of this would be possible without my family; without the love of my life (Atelier Ullizee) and our kids.
What is most essential in your life? What is your ‘why’? Remind yourself what is important to you. Live by it. Live toward it.
