0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1714. Don't miss the forest for the trees by
0:05.8	Audi Redzick of AudiRedzick.com and I'm Justin Mollick. Happy Thursday for your listening real time
0:11.9	and welcome back to Optimal Living Daily or OLD where I read blogs to you and I like to get them
0:17.5	as quickly as possible for you so with that let's get right to it and continue optimizing your life.
0:22.0	Don't miss the forest for the trees by Audi Redzick of AudiRedzick.com.
0:32.9	Saving dinner with a fellow leadership coach about 20 years my senior when she told me,
0:38.0	ah there are so many things I wish I knew when I was your age. What are some of those things I

1:32.8	she'd asked herself but it didn't happen until major events in her life took place. Death of
1:37.6	her parents, failing health, job loss, disastrous relationships and so on. Don't wait for those
1:43.9	events she told me. Pain, guilt and regret will be enormous. Wake up now. The window of opportunity
1:51.1	closes quickly if we don't seize it. So why did she follow that path if she had a call to do otherwise?
1:57.0	A preconceived idea of life. I was looking for a set of specific things not realizing that this
