Like You Were Dying!

I listened to the song, "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw again the other day. It made me think about my life and how I live day to day.

I decided to start filtering ideas, thoughts and actions in my life as if I were dying soon. I know this may sound a little crazy, but my o my how big a difference this is starting to make in my life.

The reality is this: we are only here for a short period of time. We are living one day at a time and we should make decisions based on the fact that we have one chance in the game of life! There are no do-overs, reset buttons, etc. We are 'in the game' right now.

Ideas I've had that other's have told me will not work, you can't do that, etc. well, they've come back to life now. It's strange how your outlook on life will change when you decide to take a little different perspective than most people follow. I no longer let people put their own shortcomings on me and my life goals. This is what people do, "well, I haven't been able to accomplish a,b,c, so it must not be possible". And for some reason, we tend to let these people have influence over our choices in life.

But, you see, most people are not satisfied with their current state in life. Even though their very own decisions got them to where they are, most are not satisfied. Even better than that, most people will not even acknowledge that their own decisions got them to where they are in life! CRAZY!!!

I know this because I was one of those people until a short time ago. I've accepted the fact that I got Keith Akin to where he is today. The beauty of accepting this is the fact that I can make different decisions and take different actions and get my life to where I want to be!

I'm not even sure that a "dream life" is that unreachable anymore. I am breaking my old ways, my old habits, my old thoughts and I am heading straight toward my new life.

I challenge you to do the same!

I can recommend some excellent resources to help get you on track to the life you desire.

Enjoy the day!
