Once in a Lifetime

A subscriber recently wrote to me and asked me to consider this common phrase – Once in a lifetime.

“Isn’t every moment of our lives, once in a lifetime?” he asked.
Touché! Indeed, he is correct. Every moment of our lives is the last chance we get to live that moment.

What happens though is that we figure we will be able to live another moment in the same way we are passing on right now. Time becomes a commodity that we trade… and the riskiest commodity of all – futures! We pass on this moment for the option to live it in the future.

The problem is that there is no guarantee of the future…

Take some time this week to think about the Once in a Lifetime opportunities you are passing up each day:

The opportunity to play with your children or grandchildren.

The opportunity to love your spouse.

The opportunity to take that business risk.

The opportunity to take that dream trip you have thought of for years.

Live for today my friends. Make today the best day that you can. Be aware of every moment and how it is the last time you will be able to make the decision on how to spend it.

Today is your once in a lifetime opportunity to live your dreams, love your family, and make a difference. As the marketing profession would put it:

Don’t miss this Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!

So how do you know which technology is right for you? Well, it's not a simple matter of Plasma TV is better, or LCD TV is better. It really depends on your circumstances and preferences.

How To Live Fulfilled Life

One of the things that most of my coaching clients have in common is that they want to live a fulfilled life. After all, who really wants to live an unfulfilled life? So the question that you may have is How do I live a fulfilled life? Here are 3 keys to help you live the life that you want. 1. Know what you want out of life. Imagine that you were hungry and really wanted to eat. You go to a restaurant and when the waiter asked you what you want you said ‘I just want to be full so just bring me some food.’ A few minutes later they bring you out the most disgusting food you have ever seen. This is what it can be like in life as well. Just because you want to live a full life doesn’t mean you will. Only when you know exactly what you want out of life can you start to live a fulfilled life. 2. Actively pursue it. This may seem very obvious but just think about the things in your own life that you want but aren’t actively pursuing them. You may have all kinds of reasons, excuses, doubts, a...

Titanic's last survivor: Milvina Dean, 97

by Mary Rourke Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic, the ocean-liner that sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, died today. She was 97. She died at a nursing home near Southampton, England, the port where she and her family boarded the ship on its only voyage, according to Charles Haas, the president of the Titanic International Society. Her death came on the 98th anniversary of the launching of the Titanic on May 31, 1911. "She was a remarkable, sparkling lady," Haas told the Los Angeles Times today. "She knew her place in history and was always willing to share her story with others, especially children. She was the last living link to the story." Dean was about 8 weeks old when she and her family set sail, third class, on the luxury ocean liner on April 10, 1912. Five days later, she was among some 700 passengers and crew rescued off the coast of Newfoundland. She and her mother, ...
