Who did you see and what did they say and how did you feel?

Run those tapes again, both the emotion and the experience.

It'll make that day valuable if you'll reflect on it at the end of the day.

Next, at the end of the week, take a few hours.

and go back over the week, making that week more valuable to serve you in the future.

Next, at the end of the month, take half a day at the end of the month.

Go back over your calendar, go back over your trips, go back over the meetings, go back over the occasions, the good ones and the bad ones, the high ones and the low ones, the happy ones and the sad ones.

Make that month valuable.

At the end of the year, take a weekend called time to reflect and ponder and go back over.

That'll make the next year so valuable if you can grasp the essence of the year just passed.

In ancient times, they worked six days, six years and took the seventh year as a sabbatical.

Seventh year sabbatical.

And yes, it might have been for change of pace.

Yes, it might have been to rest and relax a little bit.

But I think one of the reasons for the sabbatical was to go back over the last six years.

Go back over the last six years, the triumphs and the failures, the wins and the losses, so that what?

You can invest that last six years into the next six years and make the next six years a lot more valuable.

Here's what's valuable about the past.

It's commodity.

It's coin.
