If you had one more week to live, what would you do?
I am sure some things came to your mind now. The questions is: What are you waiting for - what is the reason why you don't do it already? What is holding you back? What difference would it make, if you would do it? What effect would this have in your life right now? What …

Resolutions for 2015? How do you succeed? Why do you fail?
