Is it time to die?

When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions—always new questions—then it is time to die. ~ Lillian Smith

Are you constantly learning, listening, looking and asking new questions? If not, what are you doing?

There are many ways to be constantly learning. With Wealthy Affiliate, we are afforded countless opportunities for learning with lessons from Kyle along with hundreds of thousands of lessons and trainings from fellow WA members. Every week, Jay (Magistudios) gives a brilliant lesson on a variety of topics. If you aren't able to catch the live presentation, they are all available for replays.

There is no excuse to not be constantly learning, listening, looking and asking questions in our lives.

I know things get busy, we get sick, we have family issues and people die, but until we are dead, I think we need to just keep pressing onward and upward!

Start the day right with coffee!

I know not everyone here is a coffee drinker. Let's use coffee as a metaphor for starting your day off on the right foot.

But what does that mean? Starting your day on the right foot means (in my opinion, anyway) that we are doing everything in the right way. We get out of bed without hitting the snooze button a bunch of times. We spend a moment to stretch and get our muscles activated. We take in a few deep breaths which causes us to yawn and really get the brain activated, too.

Then we pray, meditate, do yoga, run, work out—whatever it is that gives you peace of mind—or even have a cup of coffee or tea to get yourself going. (Incidentally, I recently read that drinking coffee before a workout burns more calories!)

Keep the day going on track

I can't answer this part for you. All I can tell you is to follow your plan—whatever that plan may be.

For me, it is to go to my day job and give 100% while I am there. Then to come home and give 100% to my own businesses.

There are always adjustments to those figures. There are times when I am exhausted after my day job—my brain just doesn't want to give any more. Then I might vegetate in front of the TV or snuggle with my granddaughter or play a video game. I've been doing a lot of those things over the last three weeks as I have worked to get myself back on track.

But, the plan is to give whatever I do 100% of me.

So, is it time to die or time to live?

The choice is really up to you. Even while we vegetate as a couch potato we can still be doing meaningful things like reading a book or watching an informative or educational program on TV (albeit, there are not always a lot of those!).

Remember, the choices are yours to make.

Best wishes,
