Today in America we celebrate Memorial Day, honoring those fallen heroes who bought our freedom with their lives.
As we reflect on their lives, it is natural to reflect on our own, and wonder how - or if - we will be remembered.
How we are remembered is really up to us.
Did we shrink back or go for it? Did we love and receive love in return? Did we express ourselves, or repress our feelings?
Yes my friend, only you can "define your own dash"

******************************************************* My BIGGEST Announcement Ever! *******************************************************
Forgive my enthusiasm, but I sincerely believe this is the best thing I have ever done.
The Directory of Marketing is reopening later this week!
I took the Directory of MARKETING (not the Directory of Ezines) off the market a couple of months ago in order to make it the best that it could be.
And now that work is coming to a close. Soon, the Directory of Marketing will be open for new members!
But we'll only take a limited number of members, and we will absolutely give YOU - our loyal subscribers, first chance to get in.
If you don't know about the Directory of Marketing, you owe it to yourself to check it out now.

And be on the lookout for the "Grand Re-Opening" announcement later this week.
You're going to love what the Directory of Marketing can do for you!
------------------------------------------------------ Defining Your Dash (c) Charlie Page http://www.RealWorldTactics.com ------------------------------------------------------
If you have ever been to a cemetery you have probably noticed the straight rows of markers (some fancy, some simple) which testify to lives lived. Each marker bears a name, dates born and passed and sometimes a loving reference.
But a closer look reveals what each and every person had in common. I'm talking of course about the dash. That dash that represents what they chose to do with their lives between those two vital dates.
What occurs to me, what startles me, is that while I will choose neither the date of my birth nor the date of my death, I and I alone will be responsible for defining my dash.
And as I reflect on that it occurs to me that there are questions that must be asked.
While this list is not comprehensive, I hope it will be a good starting point for questions only you are qualified to ask yourself.
1. Do we live in integrity? While integrity has been defined in many ways, I believe it can best be defined as the space between your words and your deeds.
If you have children you have been blessed with a live-in integrity meter.
Just recently a third grader was sent to the principals office for cursing. The dutiful principal called the boy's parents and soon the father arrived. On being told what his son had done the father exclaimed "Where in the #%@* did he learn to speak like that?"
Where indeed.
2. Do we live honestly? A further question to ask is "Are we honest with ourselves?" When we commit to an honest life, both with ourselves and others, we will find a quality of life that simply can not be purchased with any other currency.
We will live clean, knowing that we can look others straight in the eye and be ourselves.
3. What do we value? To put a finer point on this, do we value people over things?
While having things is fine, it is the people in our lives that enrich it. It is our communication with people, verbal and otherwise, that can help us become more than we ever imagined.
And empowers us to help others discover their true worth as well.
Let me encourage you to take my list and add to it. Create your own list. Review your goals and see how they align with what you want your dash to be. Review your actions from the past day, week, month and see how wide the gap is between your words and your actions.
Examine yourself and determine if what you are doing is in harmony with what you really want.
While all of our dashes will be defined differently, I know this one thing for certain.
When it comes to defining your dash, YOU are the author.
Make it the best dash it can be.
