Our lives are the sum total of the choices we make and the things we do each day.  That’s why I’ve developed my checklist for a successful day.

I’ll share it with you in the hope that this will become a check list that you will use for making every day, extraordinary.

Did I tell or show someone that I loved them?

Did I compliment or praise someone I live or work with today?

Did I read a book or listen to a tape that stimulated my thinking?

Did I increase my skill in my profession?

Did I do something for good health?

Am I closer to my goals than when I woke up this morning?

Did I do anything tough or challenging to build discipline?

Did I do something just for the pure joy of it?

Have I taken time to reflect on the lessons of the day?

Have I planned for another successful day tomorrow?

If you can answer yes to most of these questions, you have created a day of uncommon success.

George Santayana said, “There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.”  Live fully–your life depends on it.
