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 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, I dove into the end starting to understand who I really was.
And it caused me to realize how I needed to live today.
The truth is, we really don't have that much time.
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.
So the question you really need to ask is, "Who do I need to be today to die happy?"
Would you chase your dreams all the way to the end?
That you chased your dreams with passion?
Who would you really 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 incredible inside of you and it's just waiting to come out.
Time to find out what those gifts are.
