Your 365 Page Life Book



For 2015, what do the first 5 pages in your 365 page life book look like so far?
Is it starting off the same as 2014? or is it just blank?
Here's the thing, it's not too late to start. Start by deciding to make changes and begin to write them down. Beware of complacency. Remember, there are two types of "Time Wasters". The Urgent and The Pleasurable.
The Urgent tend not to have a firm grasp on their priorities. The urgent things cry out to them, telling them they are important, when in actuality they are not. The power of the urgent time waster is in the dramatic demand it makes on them. When it calls their name and appears to show them just how urgent it is that they spend time on it, it takes away from the very important things they should be working on.
Then there's the Pleasurable. The total opposite. The pleasurable are the things that these individuals willingly and openly pursue. They know they are time wasters and yet they still pursue them because they are FUN! They enjoy them, and that keeps them from disciplining themselves to work on the major priorities. It's like someone who really would like to save enough, especially for retirement or their future, they know it's important but yet they never sit down with a professional to plan. They still continue year after year with what they’re doing.
Folks, Albert Einstein made a statement. He said the definition of Insanity is to be doing the same thing, over, over, over and over again expecting different results. Now we could possibly use other words for this definition, however, the question remains.
Are you a "Time Waster" or will you be "An Achiever" in 2015.
There are 360 pages left. How will your book end this year?
