For this week's Mindful Moment, I'd like to share a passage from a book I just finished reading. The book is called "Get The Prize - Nine Keys for a Life of Victory" and it was written by my friend Larry Hehn.

"Whatever you are doing, ask yourself what would happen if someone snuck up behind you and asked why you are doing it. Would you feel comfortable in giving them the answer, or would you be caught saying, "Umm... I don't know," like my children sometmes are? Will the things you are doing get you closer to where you want to be? Will they improve your life, will they keep you where you are, or will they drag you a few steps back?

Make a point of always knowhing why you do what you do. Choose the high road and do everything you can to get you closer to the person you were meant to become. Drop all activities that keep you from getting there. Make every moment count. Live a life of purpose. The days that you have a valid answer for the question, "Why am I doing this?" are the days that will propel you forward to a life of significance."

If you want to read more, simply pick up a copy of "Get the Prize" for yourself! You can find it, and other great books, listed under the new "Resources" section of my website.

Speaking of books, I've posted the first chapter of my book "What's YOUR Expiry Date? Improving Your Life Through The Power Of Perspective" on my website. Feel free to download a copy and please be sure to let me know what you think!

ENJOY NOW!
