What have you missed in life?

If you were on your deathbed and only had a few hours left,
what would you regret most? What did you not get to be or
do? What did you miss out on? What broken relationships were
you not able to repair?
Take a few minutes now and write down the answers to this
question. Your answers will tell you what is important for
you to do before it is too late. After all, this life of yours
is not a dress rehearsal.
"I'll be happy when...." is the way many people
think they are living their lives. Yet, happiness is not something
that happens to you. Happiness is inside you now. You are
motivated from within. You only have to allow happiness to
surface.
Happiness = K (knowing who you are) X D (discovering your
life's work) X L (learning not to tolerate what's not important).
That's Coach John Agno's formula for happiness--know yourself,
your true calling and that you get what you tolerate.
The way to plan to live the best years of your life is less
about money and more about meaning. Now is the time to do
some soul-searching; examining who you are and how you want
to live your life.
Life planning is about fulfilling those important things
in life that you have buried or put aside to make a ton of
money that supports the big house, the expensive cars, the
summer/winter place, the private schools, etc. The unfortunate
outcome of following this path, is that you have become emotionally
invested in that world--and haven't really wanted to ditch
the life you are now tolerating by opening up the lock box
and letting your dream surface. If this sounds like you, pick
up a copy of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"
