The future depends on what we do in the present. - Mahatma Gandhi

Your Values

How do you want it all to end? If you want to live your life to the fullest, you’ll need to spend some time thinking about what you want to accomplish before you die. Imagine you are at your own funeral. Who is there and what are they saying? What is your spouse saying? Your children? Your parents? Your friends?

Here’s another way to think about it. Would you do anything different today, if you knew you only had six months to live?

To get at the heart of what is really important to you, ask yourself what you would do with your life if you had no need for money? How would you spend your time? Would you continue to work? Would you volunteer for a worthy cause?

Too often we are so busy doing the things we think are important that we fail to really evaluate the direction of our life. Life is busy. In most cases if we don’t put something on our calendar it won’t get done. But too often we don’t think about putting time with the family on our calendar. In the back of our minds we think we would like a promotion, but we have never listed the steps that are necessary to improve our skills and abilities in order to get that promotion. Most importantly, have we scheduled time to accomplish those things.
