All of our lives are going to end the same. We tend to forget about two of the most important days of our lives. The day we are born and the day we realize that we death is imminent. You have to accept it, you can’t dodge it, you may try to delay it but after all is said is done, there is only one way out of here. Once you really think about it and understand it, then you begin to work on how to make your life the best journey for you. The sad thing is that most people do not think about their lives as terminal so they live it as if they will get a second chance.

You do not want a life of regret. We mourn at funerals because our loved one will be missed but it also is a wake up call for all us to make changes in our lives. Mistakes are guaranteed, it’s a part of life and that is how you gather strength and resilience and gain the momentum to be better. Regret eats at you with the “what ifs…?”. Regret is when you do not take risks, regret is surrounding yourself with people that do not care for your best interest. Why do think that as you age you start to care less about what people think of you or if they will disapprove of you? That is because you have learned that this is your life to live, the end is near so F$@k what anyone else has to say about you especially if it is not true, most importantly you are doing things to make yourself better because it will trickle down to your kids and others that you care about.

Your job is to learn as much as you can, be the best person you can be and give back even when it may not seem possible but most of all, you have to take control of your life. You have many dreams and goals yet you hold yourself back because of self doubt or the “dream killers” that cannot see the bigger picture. I’m here to let you know that you are capable and worthy of achieving your goals and dreams. It will not be easy but it is possible.

What do you REALLY want to be remembered for? I want you to empower yourself so that you can at least say you tried.
