I often wonder about the different ways people live their life and how it affects their life story. What kind of story would be written about your life when you are gone? I know you have many years still ahead of you but given the life path you are currently on, what would be the story written about you by your spouse? by your children? by your friends? By choosing your path today you are choosing the content of your life story. You may want your story to be written like a James Bond novel, like the biography of a great statesman, or perhaps you would rather be known for your loyal and loving role as a father/mother. In any case your ability to leave a legacy will be determined by the actions you take today.

What is the meaning of life? A question I think most people have wondered about at times. The question is a general one about all people alive, but normally each individual decides what to believe according to religion, intuition or philosophy. If you are a religious person you probably think something along the lines of “God has decided on a purpose for my life” and you are confident that this purpose becomes evident in the challenges and experiences of your life. If you have a more intuitive “New Age” personality, you might believe in reincarnation and that you are on earth to learn the lessons you did not learn in your previous lives. Or if you, like me, is more philosophically inclined you have probably reached some kind of conclusion by way of arguements and counterarguements.

Do you feel like a free person? Do you feel that you are free to do whatever you please? Or perhaps you feel like a slave to your current situation, without possibility of parole? Is your day filled with things you just have to do, but do not really want to do. If you are at the bad end of the spectrum you have probably just lost sight of your dreams and goals. Let me explain.
