About The Book
We all aspire to live each day for “what matters most.” Yet, the incessant demands of life push us to spend our time on things we know are NOT most important.
The “i-world” around us and desire to “keep up with the Joneses” can lead us to short-sighted choices we will someday regret. We can find ourselves drifting off course, not knowing exactly what our next step should be.
This book is meant to keep you from saying, “I wish I had thought about this twenty years ago.”
It’s meant to keep you from living with regret due to your choices.
If you keep reading, you will have the chance to consider what is most important – and how to live in light of that assessment – right now.
Our hope is when you reach the end of your life, you will look back on this study knowing it helped you make careful, thoughtful, intentional choices and that your destination is different because of it.
Are you ready?
Your relationship with God, your spouse, your children, and your close friends. We know these relationships make up what matters most in life.
Yet we live in a fast-paced world where these relationships often get the leftovers rather than our best.

Introduction
“I WISH I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT THIS 20 YEARS AGO.”
How many times have I heard these words? Sometimes twenty is replaced by ten, thirty, or forty, but the expression is not uncommon. Each time I hear these words, they bring me joy and sadness. Joy because the speaker sees more clearly now than before, and life ahead promises to be different; sadness because he or she cannot rewrite history or regain all that has been lost.
My wife and I have the privilege of working at a family retreat center in the mountains of Colorado. We get a chance to stand alongside people, often husbands and wives—fathers and mothers— as they take a “time out” to look at their lives.
During the process of making friends with hundreds of people from around the country, we have witnessed many who find themselves in a place that is very different from where they were originally heading. Certainly there are some who find themselves solidly on course. But most feel life is working out differently than they had planned.
