It’s time to live your life, YOUR way.

“I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself.”

This is the #1regretpatients spoke of when sharing their final days with nurse Bronnie Ware. In her book TheTop 5 Regretsofthe Dying, she highlights that when peoplerealise that their life is almostover,it’s easytosee how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. She shares that most of us don’t honour halfofour dreams duetochoiceswe do or don’t make across our lifetime. Pheew, doesn’t that land like a tonneofbricks!

It's afactthat our time here on earth is finite,yet mostofus live as thoughwe’ve gotanother shot at it. We shy away fromgoing afterwhat we trulywant, making upreasonsfor why it’s notthe right timing, going through the motions and allowing ourfears to drive us to settlefor far less than what we’re capable or deservingof.

Fear that we’llfail and look silly.

Fear that we’llrock the boata littletoo much.

Fear that we’ll disappoint our loved ones, bosses, and ultimately ourselves.
