Is Your Life A Complete Success?

With some work in the area of personal development, and maybe even without it, I think most people recognize to some degree or another that a big part of the path to real happiness is figuring out their destiny. What is the path that was meant for you, where everything seems right with the world? What is the path that God laid out just for you, that you need to discover and travel to be truly fulfilled? I have seen the following put a few ways, a few different times, but just saw it again recently… It can shake you to your core. It is very thought-provoking, and if you do it, and follow through, maybe, just maybe, it will help you make all your dreams come true! And, if you read it, and say that was interesting, and don’t do anything, well, then you will keep on doing the same things you have always done, and keep on getting the same results you have always got. Here goes…
Imagine yourself on your death bed, and consider this question: “Was your life a complete success?”
Then ask yourself, if not, “What things do you wish had happened that would have made it a complete success?”
That’s it. Just answer those two simple questions. Once you have answered them, maybe you just figured out your destiny; your passion; the path that God uniquely intended for you! If you did (figure that out), then don’t waste another day without taking steps towards your dreams. Take some small, symbolic action now, to signify the change in you, and start changing your life for the better. New beginnings. I hate to be clique, but success starts by figuring out your destiny, and then starting to move towards it. Embrace it. Don’t worry if it seems impossible now – in fact, the more impossible it seems, the better – because the journey and the achievements will be that much more incredible! By starting, and taking little action steps every day, you start on the path, and at the right times and in the right places, God will send the miracles you need to help you along the way. You don't need to have every piece of the puzzle figured out before you start, either. The process of achieving goals and making your dreams come true should, by design, be lifelong - with short term, intermediate, and long term goals. As you grow and change, your goals and possibly your dreams can change with you. May you have more, do more, be more, and make all your dreams come true! Best wishes, and God Speed!
