Leo Rosten had once written, "The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all." John Izzo, who wrote the book, "The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die," said the same thing but put it another way. He asked, "How would you like to live your life? Would you like it to be that it was worthy of a 10 hour or a 1 hour funeral?"

To have a life, to be able to take a breath means so much, but at the same time, it can be so easily squandered... wasted. All we have to do is stop caring.

We really do have a limited life span, with an amazing number of possibilities. We are constantly faced with two basic choices. Do we live the mediocre life and muddle our way through or do we follow our dreams and our passion... What we sense to be our purpose? Our life can be much more than just going through the motions. Personally, I'm aiming for the 10 hour funeral.

Namaste'
