Don’t Just Live, Be Alive!

We, as leaders need to understand the message that it’s not just about existing, but about truly living and making a meaningful impact during our time on this earth and in leadership. In the song, I Was Alive, the great band, Beartooth, tells us, “’Cause I’ll know I didn’t just live; When I die, I’ll know I didn’t just live; I was alive, I’ll know I didn’t just live; I was alive.” These lyrics from Beartooth should serve as a reminder for us to truly live in the present moment and make the most out of every experience. We don’t want to have regrets of the things not tried. Being alive means being connected to our surroundings, emotions, and experiences, while just living may indicate a more passive or detached approach to life. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be passive with my life.

The importance of being fully engaged and active in our roles should be emphasized, rather than simply going through the. Leaders can take the message from this song that it’s not just about existing, but fully embracing and engaging in the present moment, actively participating in life experiences and making the most out of every opportunity. We also need to consider how we can help others to do the same. Our goal should be for everyone, in the end, be able to say, “I was alive.”
