We do more to find ways to live longer than we do to live better.

For some reason, we like diets, and vitamins, exercise, yoga, psychotherapy, medicine and even religion to add more years onto our lives.

Whether you are 18 or 88, the desire is always there.  A Mayo Clinic physician once told me that people who abuse their health often say, “you have to die from something” until it’s time to die.  

Why wait for that doomsday scenario when we can add more productive years to our lives starting right now — today.

By not living a day without an accomplishment, you guarantee more productive years.

Let’s do the math.

If you add up all the days in the past year when you’ve had all you can do to handle life’s problems or at best not accomplish any of your goals, it could be considered a day you’d like to live over.

Multiply that times your life expectancy and you’ve discovered the secret to adding more productive years by making each day one of accomplishment.  Then, if you’re blessed with good health, good genes and a longer lifetime, it gets even better.

When people die they never regret the time they spent well but they almost always wish they could have back the time they squandered.

My own personal goal is to set some goals (business, personal, health and family) everyday and shoot for at least one accomplishment a day.

Live life with no regrets.
