What would you do?

Each of us has one life to live. Most do not live it to its fullest possibility. It doesn’t matter if its 6 months, 6 years, 60 years or more. What is really important in your life is what have you done with it? What differences have you made? Did you really live it the way you really wanted to live it?

Maybe it’s time that you get out a piece of paper and write all that you want to accomplish in your life. And as you accomplish each item, mark it off your list.

It wasn’t the dying, but the things they missed out on. They look back and thought that they lived their lives for other people.

Don’t do that to yourself and to those you love. Write your list starting today. And they mark off each item. No regrets. And finally, find joy in your life and bring joy into the lives of others.
