NEXT 90 DAYS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE – A Warning From My Life Changes.

Most of the moments in life are lost forever.  We have about 600,000 moments a month and our remembering self ignores almost all of them. Kinda sad huh?

Are you keeping score of your life? What is the score? Are you proud of your score?

Are your memories beautiful stories that you can tell yourself, families or friends? Or are your recent memories of watching television? Maybe you have been stuffing yourself with burger and fries. Are you in a cubicle working late for that brainless boss?

Why aren’t you creating wonderful memories? Why aren’t you creating a story of your life that will make you proud?

Have that dinner party with your best friends and share your dreams. Feed those dreams to your soul.

Write your dreams down, stick a date on them and make them fucking happen.

Your future is waiting for you.

Take that meditation class.

Get your ass to the gym and hire a trainer.

Take your kids to the zoo.

Make that passion into a living, breathing business.

Fill your life and memories to the brim with fabulous stories. Stop being scared. Take a fucking risk.

The next 90 days are wide open.

Make memories that connect with your soul. Make memories that last until eternity. Make memories that shake the very core of your being. Go crazy.

Now you have a story to tell the world. Now your score is 10 out of 10.

The world is waiting.

90 days.

Have You Been Creating Memorable Stories With Your Life?

Lately I love writing about creating memories.  The quality of your life is dependent on how you remember it. The quality of your life is a collection of stories interwoven together from a lifetime of memories. When you talk about the stories of your life are you feeling happy or content? Do your stories create sparks of joy? How about when you talk to yourself about your stories? Are you proud about your stories?

Sure you can stand around the water cooler on a Monday morning and talk about the BBQ or recommend what novel you are reading. But what about the stories that make your heart skip? What about the stories that tested your courage?

A friend of mine once gave me a plane ticket to fly to three cities in Europe. I landed in Zurich and was also allowed to fly to Sweden and Finland as well. It was a fabulous gift. I decided to include side trips to Italy and Estonia. A week before leaving, I took out my Let’s Go Europe book, highlighted a few choice youth hostels and took off. When I think back to that experience I’m amazed that in three weeks time I walked, took trains, ferries and flew to some incredible places.

I got lost in Italy at 1: AM searching for my youth hostel, shared my cigarettes with a Russian bus driver (I was the only customer) in Finland, and shared tea in Helsinki with a British art critique and an American improving lives of orphans in Russia. In Sweden I stayed on a 200 foot sailboat and went to a lingerie fashion show (poor me). My courage was tested a few times during that trip, but the memories will last a lifetime.

Staying in and experiencing the present moment is an amazing habit to find peace and even joy, but ultimately the overall quality of our life is governed by our memories and stories . This is your remembered self.

How do you remember yourself? Are you making life changes so that you think back upon your life with happiness and pleasure? What stores stand out in your memory? Are your glued to the Internet and television while the world passes you by?

Maybe it’s time to make new memories, and create a few new stories. There is a whole wide world to explore.
