A very wise man 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 concept has always been powerful and really made me think about who I needed to be in order to die a fulfilled person.
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.
In reality, this journey of ours could end seconds from now. There aren't really any guarantees about the future.
We have...absolutely...NO...idea.
The big question you need to ask yourself is, "Who do I need to be to die a happy man or woman?"
Would you be able to say you gave it your all?
That you chased your dreams with passion?
Who would you need to be?
Because in truth, most of us have some sort of concept of what we are capable of. However, we may be stuck in being a little too scared to move forward or not exactly know how to do that in the first place.
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 amazing inside of you and it's begging to come out.
It's time to find it.
