"5"


Here it is! Motivation on the way. I first heard of this book from Heidi Swapp. She is such a super go getter. Always has great ideas for setting goals etc. My other favorite book "SHE" also came from the same publisher as this one...Compendium. Their website is appropriately named www.live-inspired.com. Watch out, you could be on that site for hours. Back to the book "5". The question it asks is, "Where will you be in five years? It is a "play book" not workbook, for living life on purpose. It celebrates the "want to's" the "choose-to's" and "I can't wait to's" in your life. It leads you on the path to following your dreams because if you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true? Helps you set goals because "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time!" (B.J. Marshall) The hero in this book is YOU!!! You are the hero of your own story. Do you know how amazing you truly are???? How will you change the world? How do you want to be remembered? One of my favorite quotes in the book is by Diane Ackerman.
"I don't want to get to the end
of my life and find that I lived
just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well."

Isn't that awesome!! The book only costs $15.oo. It is so pretty and colorful that I don't want to write in it. I read the book to Dave as we drove home from San Diego in March. Even DAve was motivated and excited about life. ha. So remember......The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely or blame. The gift of life is yours-it is an amazing journey-and you alone are responsible for the quality of it! So lets get to it ladies (and gentlemen).
