I was recently introduced to a book by Stephen Levine, titled A Year To Live - How To Live This Year As If It Were Your Last. It is a book about living consciously in the present moment and focusing on what it really important. As the author says, “This book was written as a one-year experiment in consciousness renewal, intended to sharpen life … while we still have the chance.” He asks the questions: If you were taken from this earth tomorrow would you be happy with your life? Would you have any regrets? If you were told that you had exactly one year to live, how would you spend the next twelve months?

Are you ready for new opportunities to enter your life? If so then you need to review what old things are holding you back in your life. As much as it might sound strange sometimes we hold onto things in our life that no longer serves a purpose but they are also at the same time holding us back from better opportunities because we don't have room in our lives to receive them.

Sometimes the simple things in life give us the greatest joy and pleasure. As our lives become more and more filled with schedules, to do list and projects we become disconnected to what really matters in our lives.

It is said that we have over 60,000 thoughts daily and that much of those are the same as those that we had the day before. In other words we exist in a perpetual chatter in our minds. It is little wonder then that all our miseries and our pains we experience are created in the chatter that we keep repeating to ourselves.

I realize that the title of this article may throw you for a loop! Living an Excuse Free Life? Is that even possible?

Just imagine... a world where people made no excuses: instead, pursued their dreams and goals with every fiber of their being. Can you even imagine that?
