Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want

Those who feel satisfied with their personal lives are more satisfied with their careers and perform better.

You can’t take care of anyone else unless you first take care of yourself.

You life matters. You are here for a reason. Your job is to determine why.

You have been given a gift—your life. What will you do with it?

So many of us have settled for what is, rather than what could be.

You are in a much better position to serve others when your basic needs are met and your “tank is full”.

One of the best questions you can ask when something negative happens is this: What does this experience make possible?

What we believe about something often creates the outcome we experience.

Making appointments with yourself and scheduling other things around them is key to proactive self-management.

Having clarity on where you want to go is one of the most critical components of your life.

You can’t get where you want to go unless you start with where you are.

We have more control than most of us realize. Each day is filled with thousands of opportunities to change the story of our lives.

In life, you often get what you expect.

We can’t improve what we don’t assess.

By keeping the truly important things front and center, we often get the perspective we need to make better decisions.

How we lead ourselves in life impacts how we lead those around us.

People at any stage will profit by taking the wheel and getting pointed in the right direction.

This is the day that everything can change for you.

If you don’t have a plan for your life, someone else does.

Unless we take the time to regain our perspective and face the reality that life is short, we risk arriving at a destination we didn’t choose—or at least one we wouldn’t prefer.

In planning anything, the best place to begin is at the end. What outcome do you want? How do you want the story to end? How do you want to be remembered when you are gone?

This is the day that can change everything for you.

The law of diminishing intent says that the longer you delay doing something, the less probability you have of actually doing it.

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are. —John Pierpont “J.P.” Morgan

The people who live and lead with the most joy and contentment are those who have clarity about their priorities. They know what they do best and fill their days with more of those activities.

Keeping your eye on the future is essential for making the most of today.
