EXAMINE YOUR LIFE:

In your mind's eye,see yourself going to the funeral of a loved one.Picture yourself driving to the funeral parlor or chapel,parking the car,and getting out.As you walk inside the buiding,you notice the flowers,the soft organ music.You see the faces of friends and family you pass along the way.You feel the shared sorrow of losing,the joy of having known,that radiates from the hearts of the people there. As you walk down to the front of the room and look inside the casket,you suddenly come face to face with yourself.This is your funeral,three years from today.All these people have come to honor you,to express feelings of love and appreciation for your life. As you take a seat and wait for the services to begin,you look at the program in your hand.There are four speakers.The first is from your family,immediate and also extended.The second speaker is one of your friends,someone who can give a sense of what you were as a person.The third speaker is from your work or profession.And the fourth is from your church or some community organization where you've been involved in service. Now think deeply.What would you like each of these speakers to say about you and your life?What kind of character would you like them to have seen in you?What contibutions,what achievements would you want them to remember?Look carefully at the people around you.What difference would you like to have made in their lives?(CULLED FROM "The 7habits of highly effective people" by Stephen R.Covey).If you carefully consider what you wanted to be said of you in the funeral experience,you will find your definiton of success."An unexamined life is a failed existence"You are not here by accident.You are here for a purpose and with a purpose.Dont die unfulfilled.Examine Daily if you are on the right track.Some people are attached to your destiny.You will give account one day.Build a good character with people around you.You dont know if they will be in position tomorrow to take you to your dreams.HAVE A NICE DAY.
