There is no reason to wait until you're old and your days are numbered. It is never too early to sit down and write down your life.

Half time recaps and summing up makes us all feel good. A good friend of mine takes one day every year, just before New Year and writes a few lines summing up the past year:

- What things have been good.

- The things that were less good.

- How we can do things better the next year.

- What we have learned.

- What would you like to learn more of next year.

- Which friends you should keep and appreciate more.

- Which friends are redundant.

There is no reason to wait until you know you're going to die to get an overall picture. You can order maps of the landscape from the National Land Survey or visit Google Earth to see how your city looks from above. There is also an opportunity to sit down and make a picture of how your life has looked until now. When you do this it makes it much easier to grasp what is bad; what is good and what could use improvement. Possibilities appear. And you have a better chance to prevent bad patterns, habits, and people interfering with your life.
