That's a though question right? Even though it is a question that most people should ask themself, they don't because they are afraid of the real answer. I can say with absolute certainty that if I died on this day I would most certainly and affirmatively state that I am satisfied with the life that I have lived thus far. Not because things have been perfect, because there were some pretty dark days when I didn't think I'd survive, but because I have done the absolute best with the hand that God dealt me; and I'm not done yet.
No looking back
Many people spend the prime years of their life looking through the
little rear view mirror reminiscing about what they coulda shoulda woulda at the expense of maximizing the here and now. They get all melancholy about missed relationships and blown opportunities. And rather than spending time building on today towards a better tomorrow, they end up stuck on the sticky glue trap of life.
But, with age comes wisdom right?
In a recent survey conducted by Healthy Living, 2,200 women were asked what the perfect age is. In their responses, the perfect age ranged from 47-53 depending on a couple of factors; and from non-gender perspective 50 was chosen as the ideal age.
So even if you're 50 and haven't lived your dream yet, there's plenty of time to get it done.
Here's a link to the article What's the perfect age?
The Mega Millions Question
So again I ask the question, if you were to die today would you be satisfied with the life you've lived? If it takes you longer than 10 seconds to answer this question you've got some work to do.
Your Assignment:
Make a list of all the things you've always wanted to do but haven't done yet; you can rank them in whatever order works best for you; cheapest, most expensive, most complex, most terrifying- whatever.
Now put a timeline together for your list and get busy living because if you're not living…you are certainly dying.
