Live The Dash
I was in my advanced coaching practicum class last night. In coaching the client that is part of the class, she was talking about a concept that I'd heard about years ago. It was a wonderful reminder for me personally. I've thought of it ever since class.
Isn't it interesting how you can hear about something years ago yet you hear it again and it has a totally different impact on you? I think it shows the power of change and personal growth.
When someone passes away or even reflects their birth to the present, you list your year of birth followed by a dash and either list the "present" or date of death. What is important is the dash. The year of your birth and either present or date of death are merely markers. What matters is what you do in the dash. The dash represents all you've done in your life from birth.
So, here's the example: Your year of birth - either "present" or year of death. The "-" dash is your life. What you do with it as you live the dash.
Live the dash to the fullest.

Also Ralph Marston's site The Daily Motivator is a site I use regularly (http://greatday.com/). He posts something new 6 days a week and you can browse thousands of his inpirational thoughts to find something that fits. He is awesome.
