I would love to hear your top 5 as well – and I will publish them for everyone to read. Here are my 5 changes to my personality
- I never put the phone down without saying “I love you” to the people closest to me.
- I make time each week to give back to friends and family. No matter how busy my week, I never put off going to see the people closest to me.
- I am less decisive, I know that…I think!!! I seem to lack self confidence on knowing what to do, I need to work on that desperately.
- I reminisce and try to learn from the past to create a better future, both for me and the people around me.
- I am more fearful. I try not to let the fear control my life, however I know now that life is not
perfect and that you have to enjoy the moment. I try and use the fear positively - fearing the pain of not doing something rather than fearing the risk of doing it.
Do any of these hit home with you? What would you add to the list?

I live in the present much more. I am quick to catch my mind when it projects anxiety into the future or displeasure about the past. Peace exists only in the present.
Gosh Vic, I agree. I too live so much more in the present…why put off happiness until tomorrow, when tomorrow may never come
