What would you have to do beginning today to create your ideal life?

Let’s face it.  As you make your way through life it’s easy to get bogged down, lose focus or go off course.  You’re working hard to reach the goals you set.  Then one day you wake up and realize that the goals you were working towards don’t fit anymore.   Now what?

You don’t have to wait for that to happen.

Brian Tracy, author of “Reinvention:  How to Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life” says there are seven areas we should periodically assess:  career, family and relationships, health, finances, education/knowledge, community involvement and spiritual development.

Many successful leaders I know schedule several times into their calendar each year to step back and consider upcoming commitments, goals and the big picture – and how those fit in relation to their values and priorities.

If you’re living yesterday’s dream REINVENT yourself.  It’s possible and worth it. Don’t go to the end of life and wonder what could have been. 

• Ray Croc was 52 and a milkshake-machine salesman when he opened his first McDonald’s restaurant in 1955.
• Grandma Moses was 76 when with no technical training she began oil painting when she realized she couldn’t do farm work because of arthritis in her hands. 
• Frank McCord was 66 when his first book, Angela’s Ashes hit the best seller list.  He had retired from three decades of teaching high school English.

It’s never too late for success.  Be the leader of your own life.  Pursue your passion and vision and see how your life will be transformed.
