If you are in a slumber, the following are some ideas to help you wake up and remember the important things in your life:


Connect to Your Own Mortality


Some may find it depressing to think about death, but it can actually be a great technique to improve your life.

consider if the way you currently live your life will give you cause for any regrets when you do actually come to lay upon your deathbed

Write a Personal Mission Statement


a personal mission statement is an individual statement of who you are, what you are about and what you value

I recommend Dr. Covey’s Mission Statement Builder.

Have a Meaningful Conversation with an Older Person


A great way then to acquire the wisdom that comes with age is to seek out an older person

Volunteer


It is easy in life to become consumed with your own sense of self importance.

often we act in such a way that we don’t already have the important things in life, when in actual fact they are right under our nose

step back and see life in a greater context
