The Value of Life

Each time I have surgery, as I did yesterday, I’m reminded of the incredible value of life.

Knowing all that can go wrong during an operation, even with the miraculous advancements in modern medicine, has a way of bringing my attention back to what truly matters and what adds value to my life.

Courageously pursuing the purpose we were put on this planet to accomplish, cultivating meaningful relationships, and putting goodness and kindness into the world are all ways we add value.

I can’t begin to count how many times my wife and I encouraged our daughter as she was growing up to be someone who adds value to her faith, family, and friends.

When I coached high school basketball, I often reminded my players that adding value to the team was one of the simplest ways to earn more playing time. 

When counseling young people about advancing their careers, I’ve always emphasized the importance of adding value to their organization. The more value you bring, the more valuable you become.

We add value to our lives and to the lives of those around us by living our truths. That is one of the central takeaways from my book, Four Truths and a Lie.

So, my question is: How are you adding value to your life and to the lives of those around you?
