Appreciating The Moment

Posted in Educational Leadership, Global Leadership, Leadership, Leadership Development by Dr. Byron L. Ernest on February 9, 2025

I love the Super Bowl pregame interviews. Michael Strahan interviewed Saquon Barkley on the Creole Queen in New Orleans. I perked up when I saw the riverboat because my son and I did a breakfast cruise on that boat a few years ago before a New Orleans Saints game. Saquon made a comment that really struck me. He said, “I don’t always appreciate stuff that is going on in the moment.” Well, Saquon, I would say we all have to be aware of that.

I look back at things that happened years ago and realize I didn’t appreciate the enormity at the moment. The point being that while winning the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal, Saquon realized he needed to appreciate the opportunity of being in Super Bowl LIX. We all need to remember to live in the moment and appreciate what’s going on in the moment. Good luck tonight Saquon!
