"Are you taking a vacation?"

I coach a lot of business people across the country, helping them to make a life, and not just a living. When life is all work and no play, it’s just not much fun anymore, is it? So I help business people make life fun again.

One of the things I’ve discovered along the way in coaching business people is how few actually take advantage of all of their vacation days. Many of them ask, "Vacation? What’s that?" when I ask about their plans.

Well, according to a survey done by Expedia.com, last year Americans let more than 438 million vacation days go unused. And most of them are of the "if you don’t use it, you lose it" variety. That’s about 3 lost vacation days per person.

Do yourself a favor. Schedule definite plans for every single vacation day you have this year. God didn’t create you a human doing, but a human being. Gas prices too high for you? The "where" is irrelevant. Stay home and take time to be as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living.
