Living with Purpose

There's a line from a book I'm reading that goes "Decide what you want your life to look like as a finished product and then do the right things to get there." It talks about defining the roles that define you and says "Roles are the areas you want to reflect on at the end of your life and say, I'm glad I gave as much time and attention to that as I did. I truly gave it my best shot." I don't want to look back and just not feel that I did my best.  On this last day of 2011, that's where my thoughts are.
