Over the last two weeks
we’ve been focusing on two life-directing questions. These two questions have helped guide my life.
(1)
“What
do you really care about?”
(2)
“What
are you doing to support what you really care about?”
The first question helps us
set our priorities. The second question
helps us see how much we are doing to support what we care about.
Here’s the final question
that will take you the rest of the way to living your best possible life.
(3)
“What more can you do to align your
life with what you really care about?”
Take three minutes now and
write down your answer.
Here are some additional
questions to help you complete your answer.
How do you spend each day? How do
you start each morning? What do you do at
lunch? How do you spend your
evenings? How do you end each day? What do you do on the weekends? What are your habits? What are your beliefs? How’s your attitude?
Now, if you’re just joining
us, read and respond to the two questions at the top of the page and then
follow up with your answer to the third and final question above.
What more can we do to align
our lives with what we really care about is not an easy question to answer. The question reminds us that so much of our
experience in life is up to us. Our
answer requires that we take responsibility and act: That’s good news. We have the freedom to pursue the life we
most want to lead.
As always, let me know how you’re
doing when you have time. I’m rooting
for you.
Best to
you,
David

Thanks David for helping me take this journey with you. You are fantastic and I read carefully what you write and feel that we readers are priviledged to share your knowledge and wisdom. You have a gift, and what's great is that you are sharing it with the world. The Law of the Garbage Truck has had an amazing influence on so many people I know.
Thank you David. Lil
