Are You Living To Die, Or Dying To Live?
Written by Gary Evans
It's not that hard to get yourself stuck in a habit or routine that doesn't serve you. Most of us will end up coming home from a hard days work, getting a quick meal and spending the rest of the evening in front of the television.
Is this any way to live a life?
When you look back on your life in a few years time, what achievements will you be proud of?
It's far too easy to get caught up in the mundane routine of life, which is why I encourage you to start forming some new goals that really excite you.
When you've got a burning desire to achieve something, its much easier to switch that TV off and work on your goal than it is if you're not really fussed whether you achieve it or not.
Grab a blank sheet of paper and start to jot down the answers to the following questions:
- What are your hobbies?
- What things do you like to do with your family?
- What careers and skills do you have?
- Favorite vacations and world locations?
Now, answer the following question for each list you've made from above:
If money were no object, what would do all of the time?
That should give you a pretty good idea of what you love doing in your life. Now all that's left is for you to set your goals and work towards them.
You really can be, do and have anything you want.
But only if you want it enough.

Give Yourself a Great Start To The New Year
Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

“Weight-Train” Your Brain
I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
