Life is a short walk, and Dr. Robin says you have to make every step count. "Right now, wherever you are on this short walk of life, I want to know—what do you plan to achieve, what do you plan to accomplish, what goals do you want to have happen in your life?" she asks.

If you have always wanted to get a college degree or spend more quality time with your family, Dr. Robin says now is the time to do so. "Decide how you are going to play your cards, how you are going to take your steps, so at the end of your walk—whenever it comes—you will feel that you can say, 'That was a good walk, it was a good stroll, it represents the life that I wanted to live,'" she says.
