=============================================

When I was visiting with my Aunt Melva last month, she shared with me that she had just discovered croissants. She had never heard of them before and thought they were simply delicious. She said she hoped she would have time to eat more of them because she enjoyed them so much.

Unfortunately, Aunt Melva did not get the opportunity to eat more croissants. She lost her battle with cancer last Tuesday. When I was visiting with her, she said that there were many things she had not had the opportunity to do. She thought there would be plenty of time, but for Aunt Melva time ran out.

Coaching

This journey we call life will come to an end for all of us. If we think that there is plenty of time to do everything we want to do, we are mistaken. Time is running out for all of us, the problem is most of us don't know when that time will come. That is why is it so important to do the things we want to do now.

If you are waiting for the perfect time, I have good news for you. The perfect time is now. Everyday we have the opportunity to live life to the fullest and do the things that bring us joy and fulfillment. There is no better time than the present.

Coaching question

Are you waiting to live your life?

Coaching Challenge

Now would be the time to update you list of things you want to do before you die. Check the list and begin to create a plan to make those things happen. Don't die regretting what you haven't done.

Daily Success Formula

Life = For living now
