It is difficult to not get caught up in your work and lose focus of the important things in life. For Harvey Mackay, he realized from a 10 second answer that you must grab hold of life or else, it will just pass you by. According to The Star Tribune, it all started with an innocent question at a conference where Mackay was speaking. He asked one of the organizers, "And what do you do for a living?" "Wrong question, Harvey!" she replied. "It's what I do for a life that matters!"

Mackay explains that you have to make things happen, not just wait for things to happen to you. Philosophers through the ages have tried to define the meaning of life, and some creative comparisons he came upon include:

•Life is like a mirror. We get the best results when we smile at it.
•Life is like a bank. You get out what you put into it with interest.
•Life is like a garden. Plant good seeds and tend them, and the bounty is plentiful.
•The stumbling blocks in life are nothing more than stepping stones.
•The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
•Every day is a gift! That's why it's called the present!

So what makes for a good life? Most people would say people work that you find rewarding and productive, comfortable surroundings, adequate food, good health, love, and faith. According to Mackay, since you are often defined by the work you do and depend on that work to provide many of the things you need, it's absolutely essential that you find a job or volunteer opportunity that aligns with your values and ethics. In addition, always remember, you have to give before you get. So Mackay's Moral: It's never too late to become what you could have been.
