Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate: it is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. Greatness is not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. Letting our own light shine gives other people permission to do the same.
When you speak to an older person about their life, ask if they would do things differently or exactly the same. Understand that right now YOU are the one living the life you will speak of when you are older. Make your actions count.
You can practice feeling life from the vantage point of someone else by reading a book or watching a movie that is told by an older person. What would they do today if they were in your shoes? Try acting as this person would if they could switch to your younger body.
You can release your stories whenever you decide you’re tired of believing them. Are you ready to believe and do things differently?
It doesn’t take immense bravery, strength, or vision to change the trajectory of your life. It takes one tiny step in a new direction, backed by belief not in the destination, but in the journey and yourself.
“The future depends on what you do today” – Mahatma Gandhi
The only way something will change for the better, is if you take positive action.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” – Edmund Burke
When you see yourself as the hero of your own story, you radically transform how you perceive and treat yourself, how you view and meet challenges, and what you believe you deserve and can achieve in life.
Whether you’re looking to transform your professional life or your personal life, no matter how old you are or what you’ve experienced, you can be proactive, empowered, and committed to growth and forward momentum – not a passive audience member watching life go by.
