Download or read book Why Do You Need To Evaluate Your Life Every Day written by IntroBooks Team and published by IntroBooks. This book was released on with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routine everyday actions, thoughts, and emotions of a person denote everyday life or daily existence. A description of everyday life can include commonplace, regular, organic, or usual day-to-day activities. Humans are primarily diurnal, which means they sleep for the majority of the night and are up during the day. Most people have two or three meals every day. Except for shift employment, the bulk of the working time involves a regular schedule that starts in the morning. It results in the daily rush hours that are undergone by several million. Daily life is a crucial idea in cultural studies and a specialist area of sociology. Some claim that 19th-century writers and painters gravitated more toward consciousness and the portrayal of everyday life in their literature and art than in previous works, prompted by capitalism and industrialism's damaging impact on human perception and existence. A large proportion of daily activities are automatic and guided by prevailing environmental factors.

Book excerpt: Whatever your age, in this book I will challenge you to re-evaluate your life for the better. To ask yourself deeper more powerful questions about how you spend your time on earth. To think clearly about how you prioritize the things in life that are most important to you. To make changes and take actions that will enhance your experience, friendships and general enjoyment of life. To live with a passion, you might have forgot is even there...Do you feel you are you getting the most from your life, maximizing every single day?Are you passionate about your daily work or activities? Do you travel frequently and see many of the places you dreamed of seeing in the world? Do you feel time is running out too quickly on your goals or bucket list? Do you feel trapped in a situation that's holding you back? Would you like to ask better questions, take stronger actions and add more meaning, experience and color to your life? "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." - Mark TwainFour of My Close Friends Never Saw Their 50th Birthday's I was lucky in a strange sort of way in that one of my best friends died when I was in my early 30's. He was a world-class athlete and only 42 years old. It quickly brought home to me how fickle life can be at an age when few people think of death. Most of us pretty much take our lives and our health for granted until we get ill or someone close to us dies. Since Dave's death 30 years ago three more of my good friends one man and two ladies have also died of various forms of cancer before, they were 50. Randy, Trish and Donna all had a whole lot of life still in them. Only Randy smoked, the rest had a healthy lifestyle and just got a bad draw in the gene pool. There is not much you can do about that except get constant check-ups and try and nip it in the bud. Even when the prognosis was fatal none of them expected to die. Two were convinced their faith in God would save them, the other that natural healing could do the job. All were making big plans for their future "when they got better." The future never came. Donna never got to see Hawaii, although we practically begged her to go, even offering frequent flyer miles and hotels to make it easy. Too many great people die with the life still in them. While there is little, we can do with the winds of fate we can make sure we get more joy, experience and adventure in our lives. As Jon Bon Jovi so eloquently said. "I don't want to live forever I just want to live while I'm alive!" Creating Your New Life BlueprintYou are neither too young or too old to start living a more fulfilling life. Go back through the 50 questions from chapter four and review them. Answer the hard ones with zero based thinking and re-evaluate how you will move forward. Shun the idea of living a balanced life and go all in to the key things that you love with passion. Start checking off that bucket list, take more chances and most of all take action towards creating a life truly well lived. Your life! ONE THING I PROMISE...By the end of this book you will not look at your life the same way again...While the book is packed with stimulating ideas, it's an easy read with no chapter longer than 3 pages. To back up my point of view, I have dug deep into the biographies of some very accomplished people and quote them at the start of each chapter. I have added their pictures as well to give addition meaning to them and provide additional stimulation to you.

Are you: • Working, working, working? • Busy taking care of everyone but yourself? • Wondering what to do with the rest of your life? • Planning to do what makes you happy someday when you have more time, money, or freedom? What if someday never happens? As the Buddha said, “The thing is, we think we have time.” Sam Horn is a woman on a mission about not waiting for SOMEDAY ... and this is her manifesto. Her dad’s dream was to visit all the National Parks when he retired. He worked six to seven days a week for decades. A week into his long-delayed dream, he had a stroke. Sam doesn’t want that to happen to you. She took her business on the road for a Year by the Water. During her travels, she asked people, “Do you like your life? Your job? If so, why? If not, why not?” The surprising insights about what makes people happy or unhappy, what they’re doing about it (or not), and why...will inspire you to carve out time for what truly matters now, not later. Life is much too precious to postpone. It’s time to put yourself in your own story. The good news is, there are “hacks” you can do right now to make your life more of what you want it to be. And you don’t have to be selfish, quit your job, or win the lottery to do them. Sam Horn offers actionable, practical advice in short, snappy chapters to show you how to get started on your best life — now.
Download or read book Triggers written by Marshall Goldsmith and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail us at work and in life. Do you ever find that you are not the patient, compassionate problem solver you believe yourself to be? Are you surprised at how irritated or flustered the normally unflappable you becomes in the presence of a specific colleague at work? Have you ever felt your temper accelerate from zero to sixty when another driver cuts you off in traffic? Our reactions don’t occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment—the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. So often the environment seems to be outside our control. Even if that is true, as Goldsmith points out, we have a choice in how we respond. In Triggers, his most powerful and insightful book yet, Goldsmith shows how we can overcome the trigger points in our lives, and enact meaningful and lasting change. Goldsmith offers a simple “magic bullet” solution in the form of daily self-monitoring, hinging around what he calls “active” questions. These are questions that measure our effort, not our results. There’s a difference between achieving and trying; we can’t always achieve a desired result, but anyone can try. In the course of Triggers, Goldsmith details the six “engaging questions” that can help us take responsibility for our efforts to improve and help us recognize when we fall short. Filled with revealing and illuminating stories from his work with some of the most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world, Goldsmith offers a personal playbook on how to achieve change in our lives, make it stick, and become the person we want to be.

Recruitment consultant, author, and inspirational speaker Andrew LaCivita believes there's no single path to success. Ask fifty successful people their secret and you'll get fifty different answers, none of which might work for you. Those same fifty people, however, have something in common. They understand the importance of identifying, analyzing, setting, and achieving their goals. They don't just enjoy accomplishing goals-they enjoy the journey toward accomplishment. Out of Reach but in Sight is based on a speech LaCivita made to a three-hundred-member audience on the importance of proper goal-setting for achievements and happiness. Once you know the formula for setting and achieving goals, you can develop your own, unique path to success.

Download or read book Keys to Living a Fulfilled Life written by Taiwo Ayodele and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 113 pages.

The author Taiwo Ayodele suggests, it is important that you discover the purpose why you are here on earth for Vision. Vision is what God created you for here on earth, what you are born to do. God has decided your vision before you were born but it is your responsibility to discover it. Jer. 1:5 (AMP) - Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. This scripture confirms that God decides our vision as a manufacturer will decide and determine the function of its products, ie the electric light bulb did not discover itself, it was discovered by Thomas Edison; Henry Ford discovered automobiles. Likewise, we ought to discover Gods given assignment for our lives here on earth. The mobile phone manufacturers decided that the phones should be used for communication either via text messaging or voice communication or email. The phone is not meant to be used for ironing (that is not its function) or cooking (that is not its function). Obviously not. God is our manufacturer, we are the products. The products cannot determine its functionality without the manufacturer speculating what the product should do and how it should be used and for how long. There is a time span also to which a product must exist or last for. Discovering and knowing all these will help you to plan, organize your life here on earth and live it to the fullest as God desires John 10:10b, Jer. 29:11. Taiwo Ayodele reveals profound principles that when adhered to will help you discover your vision, potentials, and the fulfilled life that God offers you and how to fully live it. This will help you become all that God wants you to be. In a nutshell, Taiwo explains Biblical principles on how to live above the stigma of questionable events and negative memories of the past and all these will enlighten and motivate you to seek the best life that is on offer for you. Within the book, Taiwo Ayodele elaborates on topics such as forgiveness, discovering Gods master plan for your life, knowing His way of doing things, the benefit of knowing God and His ways, understanding His direction How to execute His Master plan, His requirements and finally practical examples of how to fulfill the heavenly vision here on earth. How to improve your life? Vision and Direction that Works will help you become all that God wants you to be in life, reach your God-given potentials, fulfill your dream and vision and enjoy the best life that God designed for you. You will be overwhelmed by how much blessings, dominions, authorities, grace and much more that God has made available to you. These Biblical principles will enable you to utilize them to the fullest. If you grasp and obey these great principles, you will make your heavenly Father happy and you will be happy for the rest of your life.
