I finished reading the book entitled “No Regrets” by Allen Hunt and Matthew Kelly. A simple, easy read about a woman who when she turns sixties has a dream about her funeral. At the funeral Mass, her son shares that out of a ten, his mother was a 5 or a 6. This shocking revelation motivated her to reflect on her life and ask herself as she describes the “fourth quarter” of life how does she want to be remembered.
In her spiritual journey, she meets a ninety-seven year old mentor who offered his recipe for happiness with all his secret ingredients. Check out his list and take some time to pray and reflect with the Lord “how you want to be remembered.”
The Five Keys to Living and Dying with No Regrets.
SAY YES TO GOD
God invites you into a wonderful journey. When you say yes to God’s invitation, you know where you’re going.
FOCUS ON A FOURTH QUARTER VIRTUE
Pursue one fourth quarter virtue God has specifically placed in you. The watch it create blossoms in all areas of your life.
GIVE. IT. AWAY
The more you give yourself away, the happier you’ll be.
FORGIVE.OFTEN.
Bitter and resentful is no way to live. And it’s definitely no way to die.
BE OPEN TO LIFE.
Your fourth quarter can be more of a birthing than a dying. Be open to what can be.
Lord, I pray for all my Sonshine Friends that we take this moment to know that You want use to be at peace with ourselves and experience joy and love.
