Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost what you've been working on all your life? In 2012, when Scott O’Neil lost his position as the President of Madison Square Garden Sports, it shattered him. At that time, he thought his life was over. Managing one of the world's most famous arenas was the pinnacle of his career, and his dismissal seemed like the lowest point.
So what did he decide? Should he succumb to fate or fight for his future, proving that his public dismissal did not stop him? In fact, neither. He chose himself. This seemingly sad situation allowed him to relax and spend some time with his family. As a result, he was able to experience the world and living in the moment.
With the advent of technology, our lives have become easier. We can do several things at once, saving time and energy. We use our phones to communicate with different people, get the latest news, and even order food. It's swift and convenient. However, in this flow of processes, we lose life itself and the beauty that surrounds us.
Trying to do everything, we don't focus on anything in particular. Without the constant influx of urgent emails and important calls, the author began to appreciate his surroundings much better and, more importantly, to live. As a result of losing his job, O'Neil realized that he was feeling better.
After a forced break, O'Neil found a new job. But he committed to always appreciating the value of being fully present and dedicating himself to whatever he does.
