...It's not the fear of dying that scares the shit out of me. It's the fear of not living.
If you don't know why you're here, I encourage you to find out what your purpose is here, what is the meaning of your life, what will be different. Have you ever asked yourself that question? And most people go to their graves with their greatness still in them. What if you live your whole life only to discover that it was wrong?
We've all taken time just to stop and reflect many times when we hear what is happening in the news or read on the Internet. Where's all this leading to? What's going on here? Now more than ever we must begin to look at what are the things that we can do, that would put us on some firm ground in life, that will enable us to do some things and use some powers that we have that many of us go through life never ever discovering that we have all those things going for us. And part of that is knowing what is your life work. What is it that gives your life a sense of meaning and purpose? See, if you know what your life work is, I encourage you to start working on it. If you can't do it all at one time, do just a little bit of it. And if you don't know what it is that you showed up to do, if you don't know why you are here, you have to find out what your purpose here is. What is the meaning of your life? Because once you find that, it puts you in your power place.
According to recent studies, more than 75% of the working population are going to jobs they hate. Working on jobs that do not challenge them. They get sick thinking about going, because, see, when you go to a job and you already know how far you can go, you can already see that proverbial glass ceiling. When you are going some place and you already know how much you're going to make, you already know how far you can go. You are on a dead end position. It erodes your self esteem. It lowers your sense of your self. It creates an inner turmoil. It creates an emptiness in you.
Your life is worth finding what it is that you are supposed to do. Imagine if you will being on your death bed and standing around your bed, the ghost of the dreams, the ideas, the abilities, the talents, given to you by life, but you, for whatever reason, you never pursued those dreams. You never acted on those ideas. You never used those gifts. You never used those talents. And there they are, staring at you as you are lying on your bed with large angry eyes filled with regret. Only you could have brought them to life. Only you could have given them life. And now, they must die with you. Forever.
We should all live our life and take risks because life is short! Great job Tanya Jones! :)
