The Invisible Mentor

Steve Harrison, the free publicity guy, held a teleseminar where he had Brendon Burchard as a guest. Burchard recounts a tale where he was involved in an automobile accident and faced death’s door. He talked about seeing a very blue moon, having an out of body experience and seeing scenes from his life flash before his eyes.

He asked himself three questions:

1. Did I live?
2. Did I love?
3. Did I matter?

Getting a second lease on life he decided to live life to the fullest, living, loving and making a difference in the world.

As Burchard related his tale, the three questions resonated with me, and I thought that we do not need a cataclysmic event to make tangible changes in our lives. In the past I have cared too much about what others thought about me, which held me back. Shortly before the teleseminar, I made a commitment to myself that I’d not worry so much about what others thought about me.

If today were your last day on earth, and someone asked you:

1. Did you live?
2. Did you love?
3. Did you matter?

If you were completely honest with yourself, how would you answer? If I answered those questions honestly, I’d have to say not enough. Please keep the conversation flowing and make a comment. If you came to the post via a search engine, consider subscribing to The Invisible Mentor.
