Please consider these twelve questions by Brian W.
Vaszily:
Do you have more free time than ever before?
If you have an immediate family in your home, do you sit down to
dinner with them almost every night to savor your food and one
another's company?
Are you reading plenty of the books you'd like to read, seeing the
movies and plays you want to see, attending the museums, galleries
or sports events you want to attend?
Why is it that wealthy people and famous people are typically
considered "successful"?
Are you reading this column at a relaxed pace? Or are you rushing
through it -- perhaps just scanning it like you do with almost
everything else?
Is there sufficient quiet time in your life -- where you know you
won't be troubled by phones, requests, errands, or any other
interruptions -- and you can just pray or meditate or think or
simply be?
Do you go on plenty of vacations, even if they're just little
affordable getaways?
Do you routinely take time to enjoy your mornings -- to savor a
good breakfast, inhale some fresh air and sunshine, peruse the
paper, chat with your spouse or neighbor?
At the end of a typical day of work do you still have plenty of
time and energy to pursue the things you like to do? To routinely
enjoy your hobbies? Pursue your dreams?
Do you spend enough time with the people you want to spend time
with, such as kids, parents, siblings, spouse and friends?
What are the most wonderful experiences you've had in life? Is your
life structured so that it's highly likely you'll have more of
them?
On your deathbed, when the realization hits that your life is quite
near its completion, do you think you'll be wishing you spent even
more time at the office, or that you had a more expensive car, or
that you answered more emails? Or will your mind and wishes go
elsewhere -- and therefore shouldn't you?
Time to reflect for the New Year... er... resolution?
