The Founder of Kinkos, Paul Orafalea is worth several hundred million dollars. I read once that he was asked about all of his wealth and money, but Paul never mentioned buying extravagant gifts, big boats, wild vacations or building successful businesses. He said success is when your kids want to hang out with you when they’re adults. A lot of people have a lot of stuff and have a crappy relationship with their kids.
Success for you can mean anything, but I urge you to reconsider if the stuff you are chasing is success for you. I often talk about the final moments in life. Imagine you’re on your deathbed. Are you going to be thinking about your boat, private jet, big vacations or cars? NO. You will be thinking of your kids, your spouse, and wanting more time with them.
So this Christmas, enjoy it. Be present with presence. Going forward, consider what the real gifts are. What can you change to live a more meaningful existence? The gift that keeps on giving to you and your family is presence not presents.
What can you do today and everyday to ensure that your kids want to come to you when they’re adults. Where they will fly in from all corners of the globe to come home.
Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.
