You only have one life, so make every second count by “playing to win” every day.

The saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun,” might ring true sometimes. The outcome is the same whenever you choose to live your life passively instead of proactively: regret.

Pause and reflect on your past year: How much time did you spend embodying your life’s purpose? How much time did you waste on unproductive meetings, unnecessary activities and inefficient processes? Are you content with your career path? Are you truly happy in your personal life? Do you wish you had prioritized what matters to you? Remember, you only have one life and are responsible for making it count.
