Heart Leader

I am in my mid-40’s and more and more I am hearing from friends and family about illness and death among people in my age group.  Am I getting to “that” age where it is “normal” for some of my peers to get sick and in some cases die?   During the past few months I have lost several friends and several others are suffering through illness.  All of this doesn’t take into account all of those suffering financially through this rough economic period.  I find myself much more contemplative and reflective lately… 

I am taking stock in my health and the health of those I love.  I am being mindful to be of service to those I love and those who I know who are in pain.  I am trying to live everyday to its fullest and to be grateful for all of the blessings in my life. I am trying to eat right and exercise to improve my odds of living a long and healthy life.

I ask myself if I am grateful enough?  Am I giving enough?  Am I too selfish?  Am I fulfilling my purpose in life?  Am I serving enough?  How can I be and do more?  Who can I help or influence that I haven’t yet?

I remind myself everyday that life is short and we don’t know how much time we have nor do we know how much time we have with the people we love. 

Action plan: Do something that increases the odds of you living a long and happy life.  It can be emotional and/or physical.  Some suggestions include, taking more time to reflect, taking more time for the things you want to do and to be with the people you want to spend time with, serving others, reading, exercising, dieting, taking time off from work, going on a weekend trip with your friends etc…

Try to find happiness and peace and enjoy your life!
