A well known breakdown recovery company once controversially described itself as the 4th emergency service, good gimmick and marketing ploy. But when my car broke down last week I turned to another emergency service - people you know you can rely on.
In my line of work it's always something I dread. I have to be at a funeral meeting within 20 minutes and there is an unexpected disaster, in my case a broken timing belt. Would the AA have come in 10 minutes? Would the AA have provided me with another car in 15 and told me not to worry 'you will get to your appointment Neil I will personally make sure of it'.
Friends who come to your aid in a time of desperation are worth their weight on gold. People who are naturally generous and giving and you know you can turn to without any fear of having to reciprocate their kindness will leave an amazing legacy at the end of their lives.
Legacy is not about death, it's about life and the daily decisions we make to leave timeless values that will inspire other people.
My inspiration today is a simple one. Thanks for coming to my rescue.
