In a blog post about taking advantage of the time available to us, adapted from his new book The Earned Life, the renowned leadership expert and bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith talks about the importance of planning for creating goals.
Goldsmith writes, “Our time on Earth is not limitless. And it takes commitment, as well as awareness, to achieve an earned life. It’s hard work. We’re human, and we deplete our resources — such as energy, motivation, concentration. When should we step on the accelerator, and when do we step back to recover and reboot, balancing the urgency to always be earning with our need to reflect on what we’ve accomplished and what remains to be done? Earning your life is a long game. Actually, it’s the most important long game. You need a strategy anchored in both self-awareness and situational awareness to sustain the urgency and avoid burnout — until earning has become your habit.”
When he traveled to South Korea and Japan, President Joe Biden introduced a new Indo-Pacific Economic Framework to coordinate policies on energy, supply chains, and other issues, but without the market access or tariff reductions that powered the original partnership. A number of countries are eager for American leadership to counter Chinese economic aggression. They are building for the future.
In The Earned Life Goldsmith uncovers the source of today’s existential crises, including regrets that stem from choices that irrevocably alter our lives, reroute destinies, and haunt our memories. These are particularly timely themes today.
With Goldsmith’s book as a guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done—even in a world full of inescapable unfairness and curveballs—and live an earned life that is fulfilling in the long run.
