There’s something quietly powerful about this. It’s easy to think leadership is shaped only in crisis or high-stakes moments, but attention is built in ordinary ones.
The leaders who notice subtle shifts in tone, posture, or atmosphere usually developed that habit long before they needed it professionally. Paying attention to small details isn’t sentimental. It sharpens judgment.
Routine moments aren’t actually routine if we’re paying attention.
I'm at that precarious age where hellzapoppin' all day long. I think that, because people like me have lived so long, that we have seen much more than the rest of y'all have seen, so the actual event, time in and time out, is expected and passes quickly. More to reality, I know that I'm inching ever closer to that great big hole in the ground (or is it cloud in the sky) I dunno, it doesn't matter, I will still be able to see all y'all naked when I'm gone. Think it says it in the Babbel, er, Bible.
Love it! I'm a 65 year old with 3 grandkids. I started sending out a monthly newsletter to family on life that month with emphasis on grandkids. I remember easily 100x what I would have otherwise. One of my better decisions was to start 6 years ago. I wish I had started earlier.
This really hit home with me George, thank you. Not in an urgent way, because as I was reading it brought me back to some of my most treasured memories. Being present in the moment is something that I'm working on, and I feel that the gentle advice within your piece can certainly help 🫶

I can confirm that college took his time. I spent 5 years away. But those five feel more like ten.
