Why We Love Offering You Interesting, Great Topics

It might be time to face it: Your effectiveness in life may not what it could be. Perhaps you’re missing out if, as each day passes, you have little to show for it.

For example, did you help someone yesterday? Go somewhere fun? Did you say something regretful and not apologize for it? Is there a decision you’d like to change?

While these specifics may become a blur over time, what you do know is that you want to remember them.

That’s why…

Keeping your decisions and choices etched into your memory bank can help you to avoid making the same mistakes again down the road.

It can also help you to remember the aspects of your life that are well-lived. This is precisely why I encourage you to get to it and use these interesting topics and prompts as a canvas on which you pour your thoughts onto.
