I have a big backyard.
I’m not using
most of it.
I also have huge maple trees
that shed their leaves
every fall.
I spread those leaves
over the backyard.
Why?
Because scientists tell me
the planet is losing precious top soil
and leaf mulch
(rotting leaves)
protects top soil
and adds to it.
That top soil
will be needed
in the future.
I might as well
take care of it.
You likely have assets
you aren’t using
right now
but might find valuable
to you
in the future.
This could be
a newsletter subscriber list
for a business you no longer run
or
a contact in a field
you no longer work in
or
a pair of work boots
you no longer use
for your more office-centric job.
Invest a couple minutes
and care for those assets.
You might need them
in the future.
