How do you want your life to be judged?

Ever wondered how we have lived our lives to date and how it would be judged once we are no longer there.No one will remember us for the high profile jobs we hold, the impeccable dressing style, the fancy lifestyle,the wealth created and accumulated or the the influential social circle.The legacy that will be remembered is in the essence and quality of the roles that we have essayed in our lifetime as the member of a family, as a friend, teacher,humanitarian or a leader.Did you make a difference to someones life? Did you bring laughter into the room with your sense of humour? Did you inspire someone? Were you there as a sounding board or a compassionate listener during stressful times? Did you encourage someone to just hang on and not give up? Were you a joyful and optimistic person to be around? Were you nonjudgemental and helpful at the same time?There are innumerable roles in which we are of some use and of service to others and its that service for which we will be remembered and our life be judged.Think again.We still have time.

What are you doing with your life?

Ever taken stock for a few minutes to assess how you are living your life and I am not talking about the gripes and discontentments in your professional and personal life.I am talking about the things you should be doing so that when you look back years later you don't feel you missed out on the fun of living a happy life.So what can you do to ensure you are enjoying the business of living:

*Cultivate the feeling of enthusiasm to live another day of your life,enjoy that morning cup of tea and go for a brisk morning walk.Claim the early part of the day just for yourself.Be a little selfish.
*Focus on becoming a better person than you were yesterday.Be more generous, patient, compassionate and understanding especially with the people who you think don't dserve.
*Make efforts to spend time with your family and friends.That is a glass ball you cannot afford to drop.
*Have a creative passion outside of work which gives great pleasure to pursue irrespective of monetary returns.
*Respect the body you have,don't abuse it by eating food that is unhealthy and exercise.
*Live and enjoy the present moments for what they are.Don't postpone your happiness schedule.

If you manage to do even some of this you are on the right track.
