What will you be glad you did on you are on your death bed?
What do you want five years from now?
What will be life like a year from now?
What do you want to do next season? How do you want to feel?
Make your future.
Close your eyes. Walk to the doorway of your mind. Open it.
On the other side, lying on your death bed is your 99 year old self.
You approach and feel the wisdom of a life well lived.
Ask your 99 year old self, your quest-ion.
We end up not getting what we want most because we are so focused on what we want now.
Make a list of what you want MOST.
Here is a sample.
A strong heart
Muscular arms
Enough money to retire when I am 67 1/2
Good friends
My kids to be leaders
A vacation in Alaska paid in cash
Ok take each one and bring it back to now. I want to eat vegetables. I want to do Kung Fu. I want to save 10% of my pay into an IRA. I want to spend time with my friends by doing a project for habitat for humanity. I want to be a Boy Scout leader for my son or Girl Scout leader for my daughter. I want to set aside $100 per month for my trip.
Yes this is what I want to do NOW.
The other what I want to do now just evaporates once I do it. No greater most. Just a greedy, impatient now.
NOW=MOST
now=illusions
So what do you want NOW?
Congratulations. Thanks for reading.
Your homework is to ask yourself
What do I want MOST? Let that create the NOW.
