Someone very smart once told me, "Begin with the end in mind."
They say that the definition of hell on earth is being in your final moments before death and meeting the ghost of who you could have become (if you didn't live your life to the fullest). The ghost would look at you with angry and upset eyes wishing you would have lived in such a way that could have brought him or her to life. And now, in those final moments, you would live in such painful regret that it would literally break you.
This idea has always been incredibly powerful and made me think of who I really needed to be in order to die a fulfilled man.
Truly, looking at the end.
And it caused me to realize how I needed to live today.
We really don't have much time. In fact, we don't know how much time we have at all.
We never know when our journey is going to end and there aren't any guarantees about the future. We only have the present moment.
We have...absolutely...NO...idea.
So the question you really need to ask is, "Who do I need to be today to die happy?"
Would you be able to say you gave it your all?
That you chased your dreams with passion?
Who would you need to be?
Most of us have some sort of idea of what we would really like to do but we are too stuck in being scared to move forward and make moves in our lives.
If you end up walking this path by faith and not just by sight you will not only discover what you are capable of, but you will be able to bring out those gifts in you. You will be able to let out that courage that had been walled up for so many years or find the voice you thought you never had.
You have something incredible inside of you and it's just waiting to come out.
It's time to find it.
