I have two options to live my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first is to live it by the clock<\/strong>.\u00a0I manage\u00a0and measure my life by the externals like:<\/span>
* Commitments
* Appointments
* Schedule
* Goals
* Activities<\/span><\/p>\n

Another option is to live life by the compass<\/strong>, that\u00a0is, to lead my life by such internal values like:
* Calling
* Vision
* Values
* Mission<\/span><\/p>\n

Any advice on how I can morph from living life from the clock to living life by the compass? Comment here.<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
