What we do with our one life to live is our choice. Are we drifting through it as spectators, reacting to our circumstances when necessary and wondering just how we got to this point anyway? Or are we directing it, maximizing the joy and potential of every day, living with a purpose or mission in mind?
Too many of us are doing the former–and our lives are slipping away one day at a time. But what if we treated life like the gift that it is? What if we lived each day as though it were part of a bigger picture, a plan?
That’s what New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt and executive coach Daniel Harkavy show us how to do: to design a life with the end in mind, determining in advance the outcomes we desire and path to get there. In this step-by-step guide, they share proven principles that help readers create a simple but effective life plan so that they can get from where they are now to where they really want to be–in every area of life.
“Successful people almost always have life lists. These lists enable them to be more joyful, proactive, and accomplished. It isn’t enough though to have a list; you must go after the goals on your list with gusto. By pushing the envelope, taking risks, articulating your deepest desires, gathering support, and being fearless, you will not only be happier; you’ll die without regrets. A good life list is one that makes you feel hopeful about yourself and your future. You identify opportunities that will arise as a result of your endeavors. let your imagination, your heart, and your soul be your guide as you go through the process of creating your own life.”

Holtz took her challenge to heart and wrote down 107 goals, including seeing his children graduate from college, becoming the coach of a national championship football team, and dining at the White House. Of these 107 goals, at least 93 have been accomplished, according to Holtz, who says, ‘An unwavering commitment to your goals will turn today’s tragedies into tomorrow’s triumphs.'”
