Living Life
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" - Anonymous
I love this quote because it reminds me to take chances and live life to the fullest. It is so easy to "play it safe" and let the fear (fear of taking a chance) dictate the next step.
Now I am not talking about taking chances that will place you in harm's way or hurt anyone around you. I am talking about the type of chances that move you forward, get you unstuck, and force you to step outside the box a bit.
Think about it...
Wouldn't it be much more fun to have an amazing ride through life rather than a careful drive going at a snail's pace? Think of all the great things you would be able to do and experience.
With that said, here is a challenge for you; think of one thing that you have always wanted to do, but where afraid to. It could be that you have always wanted to take a yoga class, but were too afraid that you would look silly. Maybe you have wanted to take a trip on your own, but feared you would get lost. Whatever it is, small thing or large thing, think about it...then set a date when you will take that chance and do that something you have always wanted to.
Hey, and if you need a little support and encouragement along the way, remember you are welcome to contact me or post here!!
Let the living begin. :)
