Live your best life

Whenever you come to a point in your life where you are struggling to make a difficult decision, ask yourself: What would I regret more? If your goal is to maximize security while minimizing exposure to your insecurities, you'll never fully live. You'll just end up with a pile of regrets at the end of your life that you can't go back and remedy. If it's true, that when you die, the person you became meets the person you could have become, then that disconnect is heartbreaking regret. We've all lived in the space of good enough: not great, not what you dreamed of, but it will do. The question is, will you stay there? That is when the intense soul searching begins. The mid-life crisis, so to speak. The deciding factor is ultimately, if I stay here, will I regret it later? If you don't answer the call to step out of your comfort zone and become the hero of your own story (who battles his demons, and conquers his fears), then your story has ended. That will...

If you don’t transform from your pain then it was for nothing. The failures, the mistakes, the disasters, the shame and the pain all shape your life, but only if you participate in turning the suffering into something good. Ask yourself: How can I grow from this?  What is this here to teach me?  What did I do to make this happen? Don't just go through it, grow through it. And be kind to yourself. In retrospect, it can be easy to beat yourself up over a mistake or a failure. It is much harder to say, "I did the best I could, with what I knew at the time. I will learn and grow from this. Everything I go through gets me closer to where I need to be. In this moment, I am exactly where I need to be and I am savouring the eff out of it!" It's harder, but say it and believe it anyway! And have faith in what's to come.
