Book excerpt: Time and circumstances are keeping us from becoming the people we were created to be. We all need a way to filter out the unimportant activities and to identify the important activities that will lead us to the path to our best future. Admiral Bidcoff once said, We live our lives as if we were involved in a series of disasters rather than in an orderly process to achieve the natural results we desire. Life mapping is the orderly process that leads us to achieve the natural results we desire and deserve. The reward for investing your time in the creation of your Life Map can be better than any other use of that time.
