Jake Burhans asks you to imagine looking back at your life from the end. Most people chase big achievements and miss what actually matters: how you treat a barista, whether you pet a dog, a morning walk, grilling with family. The small moments are what you won't regret.
What if you get to the end of your life, you pass on to the other side, whatever happens when we do do that, and you look back and you lived your whole life wrong? You lived it the wrong way. You're focused on the wrong things. You're focused on the big goals and what you wanted to accomplish and all these things that you wanted to achieve and the accolades and all this stuff. And the man up there, the woman up there said, hey, it was the small things. It was when you were at a coffee shop, how'd you treat the barista? Did you pet the dog when you walked by it? Did you enjoy your walk to the coffee shop every morning? Did you enjoy the fresh air as you were grilling on that Friday with your family and your kids? Did you appreciate that stuff? It'd be a shame to get to the end and have focused on the wrong things.
