What will you do with this turn?

Every year you are given the chance to ride one more turn of this giant spinning orb upon which we all stand. Whether it's your 21st turn, your 42nd turn, or your 84th turn, you have a choice to make right now: Will this be the turn where you make a difference?

Will you finish that book?

Will you learn that special talent you've always dreamed of mastering?

Will you teach others how to master other skills you've already developed?

Will you discover something new? And when you do, will you share it with others?

Will you help someone with a problem because you know the answer?

Or will you just sit there. Blankly. Zombie-like. Unwilling to learn, to grow, to help and to share?

Whenever a new year comes around, or your birthday, or some other marker in time, remember that you've been given one more year. It's your turn. What will you do with it? What will you learn? What will you share?
