Are You Alive or Just Living?

Are You Alive or Just Living? To find the answer to this question, you need to discover whether or not your life is going in the direction you really want. Are you making progress toward your ideal life?

Answer the following questions to establish a standard against which you can begin to measure your life's progress. In the absence of standards, your life will drift aimlessly without purpose or meaning. You will always feel as though you are just living and not alive!

Here are the very important questions to ask yourself:

Overall, what would I like my life to look like?

How would I like my life to be on a day-to-day basis?

What would I like to know about life and myself?

What specifically would I like to learn during my life-spiritually, physically, financially, technically, intellectually?

How would I like other people to think of me?

How would I like to interact with other people in my life-my family, my friends, my business associates, my customers, my employees, my community?

What would I like to be doing one year from now? Five years from now? Ten years from now? When my life comes to a close?

How much money will I need to do the things I wish to do? By when will I need it.

Answer the above questions now and then at least every six months. Your answers will keep your life bearings going straight toward the life and goals you want.

Isn't it funny how a simple exercise like the one I'm suggesting in this E-zine can produce powerful results for any person. Even with the opportunity of a better life before you through these questions, only about two-percent of the population will take the time to answer them. Less than 1/10 of 1 percent of the population will answer the questions within 24-hours after receiving them. Now you understand why so many people are wandering through their lives aimlessly and always just getting by.

Isn't it time you come alive and stop just living life? Isn't it time you become accountable to yourself to create the life you want? Isn't it time you DO IT NOW? If not now, when will you ever do it?

Please take 15 minutes out of your busy life and answer the above questions. You will feel better, be more productive, and understand more about yourself.

I enjoy sharing information to make your life happier and more prosperous. Until we talk in the near future, I am

In loving service,

Dr. Michael J. Duckett

Re: What Do you Prefer More - Time or Money - Living the moment. I am living the moment since 4 years ago, after the docs found cancer. They removed it, of course, and since then I just do what i want. Jumping from an airplane was one thing, that was great. Now I want to fly to the moon. I need money for that.
Re: How does an entrepreneur stay energized? - Hi there, This subject is not only for entrepreneurs. Everybody can benefit from this, that is the reason why 'Healthy Living and Eating' is a multi billion Dollar business. Often I smile, because so much is written about it. So many different business are blooming and doing well. Whilst there is so much knowledge and opportunity to be healthy and well, the need is still growing. There is so much that could be said. The cheapest form of energy is gained by a good sleep.
Inspiration for Logos - When a Buddhist looks at a Tibetan flag one of the first thing that pops in their mind is admiration respect. After assimilating that they keep thinking and repression might come next. Living as part of a communist nation may bring lots of feelings. Chastity, prayer, humility all these virtues are all mixed. When you want a client to think of your Logo may this not be an example of what he thinks. Let its all be positive and with hope of something better coming.
Re: Do you have an affinity to making money??? - Hi ideasuniversity, I think we all enjoy making money and hopefully using it wisely, LOL. It is interesting to see that you are getting involved with Aloe Vera products as these seem to have remarkable advantages for health and wellbeing for many people. I almost became involved here a few years back with a company which was called something like Forever Living products who seemed to be very active but ultimately I didn’t follow it up but I can understand your enthusiasm for the products as you can get anything from Aloe Vera toothpaste up over, the range of products is incredible, best of luck with your efforts, regards, Mal.
Re: What is your biggest challenge? Today? - [quote="GT Bulmer":10b1rb6o]sounds like keeping one foot on the dock and one in the boat, doesn't it?) I've had suggestions of interest from other high profile potential clients but I have chosen not to pursue them at this time.[/quote:10b1rb6o] Hi GT, Who knows, perhaps you'll need to take that leap of faith and "burn your bridges" (of escape/going back) like Dale Carnegie suggests in "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" to get to the next level and reach your income goal. Complacency and comfort can be death.
