How will you use the precious remainder of your life expectancy? Author William Keiper gently guides the confrontation of this question: What meaning and purpose could you create for your life, starting now? Most of us ask without thinking, "Where did the day go today?" at the end of many days. Normally it is rhetorical and for good reason. If too many of these days go by, you may find yourself awakening to an unwelcome existential crisis over questions including, "Did my life matter?" and, "How will I be remembered?" It would be a shame not to consider these kinds of philosophical questions while you have breath and the power to influence the outcomes. The objective of Life Expectancy is to remind you that it is a mere choice to make the rest of your life the best of your life. You may be unable to change your circumstances, but you have the power to shift your attitude about them. This may be the world's only inoculation against the hollowness of future regrets.If you are committed to becoming your own powerful agent of change, this is the book for you. This book is about changing your life and work "games" for the better. It is about becoming the initiator of that change rather than continuing to be a reactor to the people and events around you. It is about being reflective and purposeful about your requirements and your direction. Life Expectancy provides a clear blueprint for doing just that. If you are not sure or cannot stick with a commitment, you may seek the support of a mentor, life coach, friend or family member. These resources are available to help those in mid-life and beyond, change their games for the better. If you are or want to be the go-to person for those that need help, Life Expectancy will reveal the ways you can be of real service to them. Whether you, your client or family member is 25, 55 or 75, you can help them change their games and create meaning--when they assumed and accepted that they could no longer make meaningful contributions.Life Expectancy makes the case that humans have a unique capacity permitting them to freely determine and control their actions no matter their age or stage of life. YOU determine your choices and your actions (including inaction). Not doing so, yields to others crucial decision making about the direction of your life. Those 'others' may not have your best interest at heart, or in fact, even know who you are.There is a whole new game to play, and it's the opposite of fading away. Those who can grasp the significance of the shift that has occurred--and who can take purposeful and timely actions in response to it--will get the best of the available options.Life Expectancy is truthful, motivating and is itself, game-changing.
