To Set The Course For Your Life

Whenever I find myself needing a dose of positive thinking I meander to John Assaraf’s Blog. His latest offering interests me in the regard that it is definitely worth passing along to those of you who are about to set your life’s course.

The collective experience of 50 people aged 95 or older and what they would do differently were they to have the opportunity to live life over. They would;

1. Reflect More – “These seniors said they would take the time to think about what was going on and live their lives along well-thought-out priorities. They would contemplate the meaning of life, family, work and much more.” I can’t agree more. Well thought out priorities! Mine were always in disarray. The meaning of life, family, work and much more? To me, those are the priorities I had out of whack that needed to be put in their proper place. Today, no matter what anyone tells you or provides as an example – family first! Without family life loses a great deal of its luster! I believe today that when you put family first your spiritual life will fall into place, as will all else.
2. Risk More – “These wonderful aged human beings said they would have taken more chances in life. If they could re-live their lives they wouldn’t be so scared to take risks. They would have developed more courage to venture out of their comfort zones.” Fear is a thief! Comfort zones are not only thieves but killers too! Politically correct is a comfort zone…
3. Do things that would outlast them – “They wanted to know that their lives counted for something, that long after they left this world, somehow their impact would live on.” Leaving the world a better place than you found it ought to be a requirement for all, imho. In direct contradiction to today’s lawlessness and lack of conscience.

Thanks John…
