Rewrite Your Life Story  
One of the most wonderful things about time is the fact that you cannot waste it in advance. No matter how 
much time you have squandered in the past, the next hour that comes your way will be perfect, unspoiled and 
ready for you to make the very best of it. No matter what has happened to you in the past, your future is 
spotless. Realize that every dawn brings with it the corresponding opportunity to begin a completely new life. If 
you so choose, tomorrow can be the day that you start getting up earlier, reading more, exercising, eating well 
and worrying less. As author Ashleigh Brilliant has observed, “At any moment I could start being more of the 
person I dream to be – but which moment should I choose?” 
No one is stopping you from opening your journal and, on a blank page, rewriting the story of your life. 
This very minute, you can decide the way you would like it to unfold, change the central characters and create a 
new ending. The only question is will you choose to do so? Remember, it is never too late to become the person 
you have always wanted to be.

Plant a Tree  
According to ancient Eastern thinking, to live a fulfilling life, you must do three things: have a son, write a
book and plant a tree. By doing so, the thinking goes, you will have three legacies that will live on long after 
you die. 
While there are clearly many more elements of a happy and complete life (I would add the joy of having 
a daughter to the list), the idea of planting a tree is an excellent one. Watching a tree grow from a sapling into a 
tall oak will keep you connected with the daily passage of time and the cycles of nature. Just as the tree grows 
and matures, so too will you be able to mark your personal passages and growth as a human being. 
If you have a children, you might also wish to plant a tree in honor of each of them. As they grow, you 
can carve notches on the trunk to mark their different ages. Each tree then becomes a living record of a different 
life stage. Planting a tree for each child in your family is a wonderful and creative act of love and one that your 
kids will remember for many years to come.
