Start of another year, and reflection of the past year or years is always a good thing. Perhaps it will help you develop new resolutions for the upcoming year.
Most of us have seen the movie Bucket List, and if not, you should. It should not take getting sick to realize life has slipped by and you have not done all you want to do, but many times that is reality. We get busy in careers, chasing titles, financial goals, or even keeping up with the Jones and wake up one day, look in the mirror and say how did I get here. How did I get so old, when did the kids leave, why don't I have fun anymore, why am I working so hard, what is going to happen to me?
So what is on your Bucket List? Travel? NASCAR Event? Meeting someone? If we had a list we kept current and take the time to do something for ourselves each week, perhaps life will be more fulfilling. Working on your priority list each day should have something on there I would call "life" - lunch with a friend, dinner with your wife, golf or a child's event. If your entire list is nothing but work related - time to adjust.
We ask ourselves many times why did God allow me to get ill, or in an accident, why did this happen to me? Maybe he wants to slow you down so you take time to find what is important in life again. Perhaps, reset priority and find what truly is important in life.
Life truly does go by very fast, and each day brings something new, we don't know what, each new day is a true surprise. So make the best of it, keep it positive, and do something special for someone. When your time comes, be able to say I had a great life, and made a difference for others, and had great experiences.
Keep it positive!
