Getting To The End To Truly Begin

We've most likely all seen the classic scenario played out on the big screen...

Person walks into the doctors office to get the results of their tests only to be given the life numbing news, they're dying and only have months to live. They realize just how precious life is and how they've lived their life not living their life and that late stage they decide they're going to finally 'live' life to the fullest. They're going to finally commit to fulfilling their purpose and make an impact on their world.

They pull focus on all of their talents and cause them to do the phenomenal.

Time's ticking and ultimately running out and with every moment that passed their effectiveness rises to the occasion. They do more, see more, touch more lives and generate a legacy that prior to their tragic news would never have happened.

What's their secret?

They simply, after having been catapulted into a reality check that would choke a horse, quickly came to the end of themselves and truly began living.

I don't know about you... but I'm not going to wait around for a catalyst like that to springboard me into living the life I am meant to live and touching the folks that I'm supposed to touch.

Life really is too short, so don't let impending doom be the reason you make a difference in someone else's life today -RIGHT NOW!!!

Treat everyday as if you've got a lot to finish, limited time and absolutely no room for ego to hinder you from accomplishing it.

12 Suggestions:
  1. Get your life right before God
  2. Discover your purpose/what you're truly here for

  4. Learn to forgive and let go
  5. Everyday contemplate minimum 10 unique things to be thankful for
  6. Help out a charity
  7. Become a Foster Parent

  10. Volunteer at a nursing home
  11. Spend more time with your loved ones
  12. Find something everyday to make a positive impact towards a life

Until next time...
