Live with Urgency
60 Seconds of Hope: Live with Urgency
“We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.” - Les Brown
I started my professional career working in food service as a Restaurant Manager for Denny’s. A little over 30 years ago, I worked my last major holiday as I prepared to return to school full time.
The restaurant was slammed, and everyone was working hard- except for this one man who was working at what we will call a very casual pace.
I told him he needed to work with a sense of urgency. He responded, “Why? It’s not an emergency.” (Kind of funny in retrospect.) I paused for a few minutes, centered myself, and fired him on the spot.
I don’t know if that was the exact right thing to do from a management perspective. But I do know it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. And I do believe that if we cannot be trusted in the little things, we can’t be trusted with big things. (Luke 16:10)
Regardless of whether we are washing dishes, running a company, taking classes, raising a family, or volunteering for a good cause I believe we must do whatever our hands find to do with all our might. (Ecc. 9:10)
Success requires our passionate, consistent, urgent commitment to whatever it is we want to achieve.
