Set some time aside to create your bucket list and stop putting off your dreams for "someday". The best way to

get the most out of life is to look upon it as a magnificent adventure.

Imagine being able to say at the end of your life's journey: "Wow, what a ride!" And what better way to have a

fulfilling, adventurous life than by creating a bucket list, and taking the necessary steps to cross off each item on

your list? When most people think of a life list, they think of things such as the following:

"Climb the Eiffel Tower"

"Go to Carnival at Rio de Janeiro"

"Swim with Sharks"

"Go To the Super Bowl"

Although you should definitely include travel on your life list---if seeing the world, meeting new people, and

experiencing different cultures is something that interests you--, as well as including all of the different

adventures you would like to go on, you should also take the time to decide what you want to accomplish in each

area of your life. This includes areas such as the following:

Work: Starting a profitable, location-independent business doing what you love; finding work that givesyou a sense of fulfillment; being among the best in the world in your field.

Family: Finding and marrying the love of your life; having a healthy, happy child; spending lots of qualitytime with your spouse.

Health: Having the energy and strength to do everything you want; to look and feel fit; to age well.

Contributions: Spending a year abroad with the Peace Corps; volunteering at a homeless shelter;mentoring a disadvantaged youth.

Finances: Having a million dollar investment portfolio; having multiple sources of passive income;

having enough money to be able to finance your life goals.

Personal Development: Having the ability to hit the "pause button" and choosing your attitude in anysituation; learning to forgive; having a happiness project.

Creating and achieving your life list is about deciding what you really want-which means setting goals--, as well

as planning, budgeting, and then taking the necessary steps to accomplish your goals. The last part, taking

action, includes incorporating habits and routines into your daily life which will help you to gradually mold your

life into a work of art that is uniquely yours.

The text in the introduction above was taken from my eBook, "How To Live Your Best Life- The EssentialGuide for Creating and Achieving Your Life List".

endurance activities.

One participant in the program explained it like this: "The skills we've learned in this class don't apply just to

marathoning -- they apply to life! Just like you never know what the next step in a marathon will bring, so too,

you never know what will happen next in life. But if you don't keep going, you're never going to find out. By

staying relaxed, centered, and positive you handle just about anything that comes your way."

for health, fitness, and well-being, and ChiRunning shows you how to achieve this.

best of the East with the best of the West to create a safe, fun, and effective running technique.

by: Danny Dreyer, Katherine Dreyer

ChiRunning (CR) is a method of running instruction, developed by Danny Dreyer, an American Ultramarathon

runner and Tai Chi practitioner. Its primary focus is to teach runners to move in a more efficient, natural way.


Seiko DM50L Metronome, Silver

Being able to maintain a steady cadence at any speed is a key component of efficient movement. The metronome

is a great way to maintain a sustained steady pace.


Why run a marathon?

Because it's there (as George Mallory would say).

It provides a clear objective to strive for and I'll become healthier along the way.

The discipline required to run a marathon will spill over to other areas of my life.

To develop more self-confidence.

Because of the feeling of accomplishment that I'll feel once I cross that finish line.

To test my mental and physical strength.

To help raise money for a good cause.

Because I love running.

To be part of the elite group of people who have finished a marathon.

Because of the feeling of anticipation created by having an event set on a specific date to look forward to.

"A life list is a set of goals that you set for yourself covering all the different areas of your life. It's meant to

ensure that you decide who you want to be, and what you want to do and have in life, and that you take the

necessary action to accomplish these things."

How To Live Your Best Life- The Essential Guide for Creating and Achieving Your LifeList

By creating a life list you'll be choosing how to

live your life, instead of having your life be

determined for you. In addition, creating a lifelist will help you to recapture the spirit ofadventure you had as a child, when you thoughtyou were invincible and you spent your time

dreaming of all the exciting things you were

going to do when you grew up.

Having a life list will push you beyond your

current comfort zone, and it will help you to

break through self-imposed limits. We all have a

mental image of who we are and what we're

capable of doing. However, we can stretch our

concept of ourselves and our abilities by pushingourselves to constantly step outside of our

comfort zone. One way to think of your life list

is as a constant growth motivator.

"How To Live Your Best Life- The Essential

Guide for Creating and Achieving Your Life

List" will give you the tools and resources that

you'll need to not only create, but also to achieve, your life list.

Most people create a life list and then they stick it in a desk drawer and forget about it. The purpose of this

eBook is to show you how to use your life list to create a blueprint of your ideal life, then take the necessaryaction steps to build that life, and then inhabit it. Many of us are afraid not of dying, but of getting to the end of

our life filled with regrets. Henry Thoreau said it beautifully in the following quote:

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see

if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

Let "How to Live Your Best Life" show you how to live your life fully, so that when you get to the end you can

feel satisfied that you've truly lived.

This eBook--which is written in a workbook format--contains the following:

By the time you finish reading "How To Live Your Best Life- The Essential Guide for Creating and Achieving

Your Life List" you'll have a Life List Journal filled with your life's dreams, as well as concrete, step-by-stepstrategies to accomplish those dreams.

You've probably used some of the following as the reasons why you're not pursuing your life goals:

I'm not sure what I really want; I have vague desires instead of specific, measurable, time-bound goals.

I don't believe that I can accomplish my life goals. I believe that those who get what they want out of life

are smarter, richer, more creative, more talented, and more confident than I am.

I'm overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choices out there. I'm afraid to make the wrong choice, so I

allow things to stay as they are.

I try to tackle too many things at once and leave everything half-finished.

I'm afraid of failing

I'm afraid of rejection.

I'm waiting for everything to be "just right" before I get started.

I don't know how to achieve my goals.

I'm sure that I'm going to run into an obstacle and then I'll just quit.

I don't have the time.

I don't have the energy

I don't have the money.

"How to Live Your Best Life" will show you how to overcome every one of these objections, so that they're no

longer obstacles to creating your best life. You can achieve what you want, regardless of how many times you

may have failed in the past, or how lofty your goals may be.

"The breadth and depth of the research in this book is amazing."

"The book is a delightful mix of anecdotes, information, inspiration and helpful exercises."

-- Margo Arrowsmith



Sitting with an old, and very resistant client, one who has all the excuses I use and more,

suddenly I had an inspiration from a new e-book I was reading by Marelisa Fabrega. Her

book is very comprehensive and as a professional I am finding it extremely useful for my

own personal goals, and I thought, 'What the heck'. So I used one of the many tips I got

from her work and my resistant client lit up.

Now, I knew that the information and advice from this book were excellent, but I really saw

it as more for people at a higher level, with a lot of motivation. But it was also making

itself useful with this woman who was far from those things.

The breadth and depth of the research in this book is amazing in a book that is as decidedly readable as this is.

Marelisa has clearly done her homework, thus setting herself up to be a great role model. She comes up with

something very new and fresh.

The book is a delightful mix of anecdotes, information, inspiration and helpful exercises. And, as I said above,

those things will apply to a person's experience regardless of level of commitment, knowledge or previous work!

Thank you Marelisa, for writing this!

I was excited by the prospect of reading Marelisa's ebook, "How to Live Your Best Life",

and my expectations were exceeded. She strongly encourages you to create your own "life

list", to take control of your own life and become your own "life creator". The ebook is

empowering, challenging and supportive -it is really an exciting journey built on self-belief,

commitment and action.

Many books discuss the value of goals but Marelisa helps you create goals that fit your life

purpose. She gives you a set of comprehensive tools and techniques that open up creative

possibilities for living your life more fully and richly. One aspect of this is her balanced approach to goal setting

that takes in all spheres of your life.

What appeals to me about the ebook is the way Marelisa systematically takes you through all possible blockagesto your personal goals and then leads you through processes to dissolve them. She engages your subconscious in

the process of strengthening self-belief, building commitment and visualizing achievement.

Marelisa's ebook is rich with motivating examples and exemplars that draw you out of yourself and your

self-imposed limitations. It is detailed and comprehensive and encourages multiple iterations as you pursue goal

clarity, achievement planning and realistic pursuit of your goals.

This is an eminently practical guide to living your life to the full - how to mold your life through goal setting,

planning and execution. It engages the whole person - the left brain and the right brain and caters for auditory,visual and kinesthetic learners.

I, for one, will be revisiting the enlightening section on "Financing Your Dreams" and the confidence-building

exercise, "Creating Your 'Victory List'". I commend this ebook highly for those who want to pursue the full

richness and happiness that life has to offer.
