NOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:
-As you approach New Years, it’s a perfect time to set goals.
-However, consider pausing for a moment to review your life to take inventory of how things are going.
-These moment of introspection can sometimes reveal vital information you may have been missing.
-Without taking a moment to pause and assess your life from a higher level, you run the risk of running an imbalanced life.
-Take a balanced look at all significant areas of your life: health, character, relationships, career, finances, and lifestyle.

2. “I wish I had not worked so hard.”
3. “I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.”
4. “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.”
5. “I wish I had let myself be happier.”
