A chance encounter at a cocktail party thirty years ago changed Gay Hendricks's life forever. A stranger asked him to imagine himself on his deathbed and consider the question, 'Was your life a complete success?' If the answer was no, the stranger asked, 'What would be the things you'd wish had happened that would have made it a success?' Hendricks's first response was, 'A lifelong blossoming of passion and creativity with a woman.' The stranger replied, 'Okay, now turn that wish into a goal, and put it in the present tense.'
This short book shows readers how Gay Hendricks achieved his five wishes - lasting love, completing his incompletions, writing from the heart, feeling God, and savoring life. But more important, it gives readers a practical blueprint for creating an realizing their own wishes in their own lives.
