In the book "The Fourth Quarter of Your Life--Embracing What Matters Most", authors Allen Hunt and Matthew Kelly state, "Intentionality is the key to successful fourth quarter living. People don't accidentally age gracefully. People don't accidentally die peacefully. And people don't accidentally leave behind legacies of hope, love, and encouragement. These all require the intentionality that this book will help you develop." I was guided to this book through a reader of my weekly blog and I find it incredibly refreshing to be guided to examine where I am in my life and what I want to do with the remaining years.
The authors divide our life on this earth into four quarters: 1-20 years, 21-40 years, 41-60 years, and 61-80 years with any years beyond 80 being bonus time! The book is a guide and a workbook to begin to be honest with ourselves about how we have lived up to this point and what we want to do with the time that we have left on this physical plane. The chapters include topics like those below and many more:
- Do Not Be Afraid
- Mistakes & Regrets
- It's Time to Find Your No
- The Path of Clarity
- What is God Saying to You?
- Your Most Important Relationships
- Control & Surrender
- Stay Open to Life
- Don't Leave a Mess
- Life After Death
