Time Over Money

The Power of Presence

"Give them time, not just money." This is the 4th rule in Why Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek. I asked my friends a question: imagine you’re given a choice between money, but at the cost of not having the time or presence of someone you love, or choosing the presence of that person with no money involved. Every single one of them chose the presence of their special someone.

It was a beautiful moment of realization — we all crave human connection. My friends all agreed: money is temporary, and in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter much if those are the two options. Hearing that from all of them truly warmed my heart. It made me reflect deeply and appreciate the amazing circle of friends I have.
