Live life to the fullest(worthwhile)

Sometimes when we dig deep into the different “what if” situations that pop into our minds around a given situation that elicits fear, we come to realize that our deepest fear is the fear of death. Somewhere we actually started believing that making a ”bad” decision could lead to death!

Something REALLY bad might happen…

We are SO afraid to die — we condition ourselves to fear living life!

Our life had consisted of staying within the parameters of our comfort zone to ensure our survival.…

By not living a full life, erroneously feeling we were keeping ourselves safe from an accidental death (before the ripe age of 80+, ideally). However, the irony of this situation is that basically anticipating our death on a semi daily basis.

Always afraid …

Well, that death and dying course definitely kicked us in the butts and when we begin asking ourselves at the end of each day, “If we were to die tonight, did we live a full life today? Can we die peacefully?” and this becomes an ongoing habit that helps us live the full life. 

Whenever we sense we are living in fear, playing small, staying within safe parameters, we should stop and ask ourselves, “If we died the next second, what would we do differently?” and that should give us the thought and the motivation to keep choosing the option our hearts truly desires, knowing at least that if death came knocking at our door, we did all we could with the life we had.

Believe it or not, I’m less afraid of dying now that there is a day we'll all do and am preparing for it. 

Like that dream that’s been itching at you for the last 5 years that you’ve kept ignoring. You might have already decided that this year will be the year you pursue the dream. And you might have already forgotten that last year you had already made this same promise to yourself.

So, my question for you today is: What’s SO important to you today, that if you died the next second, would you regret not having accomplished this very specific dream? 

Write it down.

Now, don’t let another year go by where you forget how important it is for you to feel alive. How your Soul is yearning to express herself fully! How vital it is to take risks and trust that everything will be OK.

Don’t let your blind spots and habits make the decisions for you this year. Break the cycle by taking the time to explore your fears, to break them down and to receive guidance towards living a life you genuinely love, that gets you excited to wake up in the morning, and leaves you with a deep feeling of inner peace at the end of the day.
