I ran across a little quote the other day that said "live the life you've always imagined." While there is some usefulness in that phrase, I challenge you today to a slightly different version that comes in three steps.
- Imagine the life you've lived. If you were lying on your deathbed right now, looking back over your life, what would you remember? How would you sum up your life?
- Imagine the life you want to live. It's very important to do this realistically, too. Goals have to be challenging, certainly, but also within the realm of possibility, no matter how far-reaching. What do you want to have said of your life?
- Compare the two, and live the differences. You have to know where you're starting from in order to get where you're going.
So what about you do you want to change? Sometimes it even helps to start small- take the long way home to see the sights, take a walk instead of turning on the tv, smile at someone you don't know, etc. Yeah, it's not easy, but are you really living the life you want to? Only one person can change that...
