About this audiobook
This book is a call to action and a toolbox. You have gifts and the world needs you to identify, understand, and employ your gifts. Today.
There is important work to be done and we do not have forever on this earth, so we should do good when we can where we are with what we have, knowing improvement will take time and we will face challenges.
Important work: children need to be raised, people need to be loved and educated, homes need to be built, code needs to be written, songs need to be sung, clean water needs to be provided, scripts need to be produced, difficult conversations need to be had, systems need to be fixed.
The Enduring Urgency strategy can be used to improve our families and our communities, but it starts in the mind of each person. It is about holding a decade and a day at the same time; seeing who and where you want to be a decade from now and doing everything you can each day to become that person. Enduring Urgency is a strategy used by effective humans throughout history. For ease, David uses the following formula:
Enduring Urgency = Resilience + Patience + Consistent Focused Action
In this book, David shares stories and provides tools to help you build resilience, develop patience, and take consistent focused action in support of those important people and goals you have. The resilience is for the adversity you have, are, or will face. The patience is for your process and the time required to improve. The consistent focused action is for the compounding effect, the consequences of what happens when we act consistently over time.
This book can provide value if you are:
- Wanting to better understand yourself, your gifts, and how to use them for good
- Wanting to develop your social and emotional learning
- Preparing to graduate
- Transitioning from one career to another
