I know it seems like a rather large list of things to take on, but you can accomplish a lot on this list by doing just one thing. For example, right now as I’m typing this I’m putting into practice at least 18 things.
Put these things into practice and see where life takes you, without regrets. And please comment below. I’d love to read your thoughts on this.
Before you go—one of the things I don’t want to regret is not helping friends when they need me. I’ve recently set up a blog to help a friend of mine who is in a tough situation. I’ve learned that if you are in a position to help someone you should try, and so that’s what I’m doing. Check it out if you want to help, too.
