Begin with the end in mind ( part C ! )

You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.

Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.

Today I would like you to try this: Imagne that you are attending a funeral of someone dear to you. Imagne how you drive to the chapel where the ceramony is taking place and how you see many loving people feeling sad becouse a loved and respected one has left them. You get situated somewhere in the back and soon, you realise that it is in fact YOUR funeral, a few years from now! There are four speakers and they are going to talk about what you were like as a person. The first one is from your family, the second from your friends, the third one is from your profession and the last one from an organisation to which you have contributed in your free time... Now I would like you to think about what you would like to have said about your achievements and contributions... three, ten or fifty years from now?

Well if you took your time to really think about it, you touched, for a moment, your basic values, your definition of success in life. Now you have to think about what your subconscious values just told you and proactivly work towards developing them into conscious goals, directions you want to follow in life. You must develop your mission statement and have it written into your heart and mind. In other words find and accept your goals and then just follow the direction.

And although magnetic north is constantly moving, it is much easier to walk Your path ( iter ) if you have your compass...

PS: I don't recomend forming a definition like: Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. , and becoming a lost sheep in the herd :) .
