Make Your Life Count

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."


~William Wallace


At some point or another, we will all die.  It is an inevitable part of life.  But we can choose how to live.  We can live fully and meaningfully, or we can drift through life until it ends.  To live a meaningful life allows you to make a difference in your life and those around you.  If you are not sure what your life's purpose is, you can create it.

This week:  Think about the mark you would like to leave on the world.  How would you like to be remembered after you die?  Write a eulogy about how you want to be remembered.  Now begin to take a step toward creating that sort of life.  Reach out to others.  Make your life count.

"Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror."


~Byrd Baggett


Too many times we are focused on things that happened to us in the past. It is as if we are looking at life through the rear-view mirror. When you focus on the past, you remain stuck in the past. If you want to get unstuck and move ahead toward your goals, you need to look where you are going. Focusing on where you want to go helps you create the circumstances that carry you toward your goal.


This week: Imagine you are taking a trip someplace you have always wanted to go. Now, imagine as you move toward that destination, you are looking behind you. Imagine taking this trip totally focused on where you have been. Can you even get to your destination when you are focused in another direction? Now, imagine aiming for a place right in front of you. Move toward it. Look in the direction you want to go, not in the direction you have already been. Now imagine how much easier it will be to reach your GOALS if you focus on what is ahead of you, rather than what has happened in the past.

Whatever You Worry About Won't Last

"If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today."


~E. Joseph Cossman

This is so true. We expend lots of energy worrying about things that never come true. Anxiety happens when you are focused on the outcome you DON'T want to see happen. When you are focused on those "what ifs" or "catastrophes in waiting," you don't allow yourself to enjoy the present moment. When you are focused on all those things you are worried about, you miss out on the opportunity to CREATE the outcome you would really like!

This week: Take one of the things you are worried about--a specific thing--and imagine that it has been resolved. Allow yourself to imagine yourself going out into the future 24 hours after the successful resolution of the thing you are worried about. Now notice what happens to the anxiety or worry. If you have followed the instructions for this, it should be gone.

Learn From The Mistakes of Others As Well As Your Own

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.

~Eleanor Roosevelt

We all make mistakes, and the key is to learn from them. The good news is that you don't have to wait until YOU make the mistake in order to learn. You can learn from the mistakes that others make as well. In NLP, we say, "There is no failure, only feedback." From each mistake or failure, there are lessons to be learned. You don't need to let mistakes devastate you, just learn from them. And let the mistakes of others guide you as well.

This week: Look back on the mistakes you made last week. What did you learn from them? Think about the mistakes that those around you made as well. What can you learn from those experiences? How can you use your mistakes and those of others to help you in the future? Write down your learnings.
