John Addison: 5 Tips to Create Your Best Future
We all want to be remembered for making a difference. But building a legacy is not top priority for most of us. When you are hard at work, you should not be legacy-focused; you should be focused on what you are
doing now.
doing now.
Dwelling on the past will not change the future any more than dreaming about the future will secure your place in it. Life is a day-by-day mission, the execution of a series of choices over time. The best steps toward building a legacy are to be a daily goal-setter and a daily goal-hitter. And that means making choices today that will resonate tomorrow.
First you have to perform in the now, in this very moment. There will never be another now, so you have to make it matter. You have to ask yourself, What am I doing today that will move me forward in the future? And you can’t let that sense of urgency or the burden of decision making paralyze you. You have to adopt the perspective that
you and your position are not what is at stake here. We are all temporary. There are no irreplaceable people. Your allegiance is to the team you’re part of and to the people and challenges that will follow you. Your job is to leave things better than you found them.

The key to being this kind of good steward is weighing short-term objectives against the long-term health and success of the group.
Do what’s necessary to perform today but always look toward the horizon.
This focus requires a real balancing act: Do what’s

not always be doing what’s popular now, but use your best judgment to
ensure your choices today will place the team in a much better place
down the road.

sound, living with the results is easier. And the more decisions you
make, the more opportunities you will have to make the right ones.
I use the following tips to help me make the right choices now to ensure a great future:
- Gather your facts, balance short-term gains with long-term growth and make a call. Then live with the results.
- Not making a decision is in itself a decision.
- You will never know all of the facts.
- If you are a quick decision-maker, slow down
by surrounding yourself with people who are more methodical and need
more data. On the other hand, if you’re one of those people who always
want more data before making a decision, then surround yourself with
people who will push you to decide more quickly. - Most decisions are not set in stone; they can be reversed over time.
You make them with the best knowledge you have at the time, so keep
learning and keep evolving.
Remain blessed!
