Life is risky. Let me tell you how risky life is: ''You won't come out alive''  - Jim Rohn -  
  • What do you want people to say at your funeral?  
  • Who do want to attend it?  
  • What do you want to do before they shovel dirt on your coffin or burn you pretty little body and put you back into this pretty little place called earth? 

Chances are excellent that you have never asked yourself these questions.

But think about it for a second, or two.
What kind of person do you want people to describe you as, when you are looking as pretty as a dead person can look in their coffin? Honest, social, mean, and I think you can come up with some more.
We are taught to start our lives from the beginning and I can't blame someone for that since that is a really logical way of looking at life.

  • But what if we start it at the end? 
  • What if we define what we want to have achieved before we die, and work backwards from there? 

This was an eye-opener for me, because it made me aware of the things that really matter.
If you ask a person who has ever been in a life threatening situation what went through their heads at that moment, the usually come up with something like this: I wish I had.. (Next to the part of where they see there whole lives flashing by)

Now imaging, dying tomorrow. Your dead, toast, dust, crisp. Then what would you do today?
The next question to ask yourself is: Do I really care about the people I currently hang out with? There are a lot of people, but you have to pick wisely.

Don't you ever let somebody get in the way of you and your dreams and goals. 

It may sound harsh but you have to get the people who don't add any value to your life and who stand in between that, out of the way, but only if you are determined to reach your goals and dreams.

- Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die -

So pick your goals wisely, and don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.  

Indecision is the thief of opportunity. If you really want to procrastinate, then do yourself a favour. Procrastinate worrying.

Some will, some won't.
