How Will You Look Back on 2019
Good Morning,
Imagine for a moment that today is December 31, 2019. The year has gone by and you find yourself standing at the end of it looking back.
What do you see? What are you saying about it? Did you redeem the time well? Are you looking back on it with a sense of fulfillment? Or are you looking back on it with a sense of emptiness? Is there a realization that another year of good intentions took you nowhere and the sense of loss for days that you can’t get back is leaving you frustrated? If you are like me there is a very real awareness that time goes fast and that in a sense, tomorrow has already taken place.
Here is the great news. It isn’t December 31, it is January 7. You have the entire year ahead of you. You have 358 days with which you can grow, serve, try new things, start a business, take a class, learn to play an instrument, coach your son or daughter’s team, date your spouse regularly, discover better balance in your life, make a plan to finish well and any number of other things that have been pushed down by a life that has overrun you. The question then becomes what are you going to do with these days ahead of you?
This is precisely what coaching helps people with. You have gifts and passions that have been placed in you by the Creator. None of us knows how many days we have been granted. That, we cannot control. What we can control is how we use the ones we do have. They are a precious resource not to be wasted.
The wonderful truth is that you are never too young or too old to begin to live with a high level of purpose. It does not depend on where you live, how much money you make or what kind of education you have. You can start today and not look back.
What do you want to be able to say about 2019 a year from now? If you want some help processing this, send me an email at ron@road2legacy.com. We will have a discovery conversation to see if coaching is a good next step for you. It could very well set a new, more fulfilling life in motion for you.
So, teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Ps. 90:12
Live this week on purpose,
Ron Klopfenstein
