so good to have jefe check in with us.

as we seek purpose and clarity in our lives -- particularly with the promise of a fresh, new year at our doorstep -- here's a wonderful and powerful challenge. from our friend landon saunders. check it.

Someone has said, "Life is the living you do. Death is the living you don't do."

There is something exciting about a human being who's born, walks with great purpose and dignity through life, and completes her life feeling she has finished her work. But how does one do this?

I believe there is a way to put all your energy into a great purpose that will never leave you feeling sorry about "the living you don't do." I can sum it up in nine words: Spend your life fighting for people, never against them.

Do you see the bigness of this plan? Can you sense the depth of its challenge? Can you let yourself be engaged and excited by it?

Think of the petty squabbles you can avoid because your mission is so large that only heroic struggles are worthy of you. The fight for people will call forth your best, will create your best, will demand your best.

It's a challenging plan, and it will disturb you at times. And yet, it will also help you get up and really get going every morning.

Best of all, no matter what happens, you'll be able to complete your life, one day at a time, with dignity and style. This is something you can do-anywhere, anytime, everywhere, all the time, including the last day of your life.
