Lather, Rinse, Repeat

I interrupt the 37 things to bring you some hair washing advice – not really, though this title is in reference to washing one’s hair and I’ll get back to the 37 things in the next blog.

So, about lather, rinse, repeat – if you followed that advice in washing your hair, you’d be in an endless loop and would never complete the task until you either ran out of shampoo, or water. Just in time for Christmas and the upcoming new year, I have taken delivery on the second edition of my book, Life is Great, Even If Your Boat Flips Over. Besides correcting a few typos and inserting an update in the YOU CAN chapter, one major change is in the conclusion; and that conclusion is to Lather, Rinse, Repeat; or, in terms of the book, Read, Implement, Re-read.

You see, in building the life of your dreams, it is necessary to continually evaluate where you are in order correct, or change course, if warranted. Thus, the advice in my book is to continue looking at where you are and where you would like to be heading. Life is too short to not strive for the best life that is true to our own being. 

Bonnie Ware, in her book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying wrote about her many years of experience working in palliative care and reported that the top five regrets were:

1.     I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2.     I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.

3.     I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

4.     I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5.     I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Don’t reach the end of the road with those regrets. My mission in life is to change the world by engaging individuals and groups in a dialogue that results in a change of thoughts and actions for the betterment of life. I think my book can provide you with a few nuggets that will help you find and live your best life without regrets. Just don’t forget to wash, rinse and repeat!
