“We never know what’s going to happen in the future. We really don’t. Kobe Bryant, a friend of ours, God rest his soul. We think we’re going to live forever, we’re not. We think we’re going to play forever, we’re not. What can we do? We can enjoy the moments that we have.”

― Tom Brady, Let’s Go Podcast

I. Multiply Your Impact

There are impact players within every team and organization — those indispensable players and colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations.

Here are characteristics of an impact player that we can focus on growing in our own lives to make our work, our play, and our impact more fulfilling.

An impact player is…

  • Present and open

  • Flexible and curious

  • Ready to take action

  • Ready to ask and adjust

  • Someone who makes work light

  • Ready to make themselves useful

The Last Words…

“I have dreams, and dreams, they should be pure. I think a lot of times when we’re born into this world, we actually wind up going backwards. And it seems like the more we mature, the more responsible our dreams become, and the more governors we put on ourselves and our ability to dream and to reimagine. And it’s always a fight, for us parents and for you all, to make sure that your dreams always stay pure. So it’s not a matter of pushing beyond your limitations or expectations. It’s really a matter of protecting your dreams, protecting your imagination. That’s really the key. And when you do that, the world just seems limitless.”
