Premium Moments in life

Premium moments feel very successful. These are the moments that are few and far between in the situations they are relative to. These are when your dreams come true.

In relationships, these moments can be a sweet first kiss at the end of a date. Or a shared smile after you both agree on something big. There are daily hugs and rituals and conversations that are great, but these few moments stick with you.

At work, these moments come not in the form of a formal commendation, but they are when you take a risk and it pays off. They could be a first-time public speaking event or smaller moments when a fellow employee really shares how thankful they are to be working with you/have your help.

The distinguishing thing between these moments and others is that they are an intersection of many things all at once. They happen when the goals and dreams of multiple people come together and are actualized and successful. They are things that not a single person can control and in many ways represent what synergy is.

Shoot for these premium moments and cherish them when they come along. I can think of a handful in my life from the last 20 years. One was on the first day of school may years ago, another was on a cold Connecticut pier. Pick your goals carefully, so that when you reach and strive and give everything you have, you are rewarded with one of these moments.
