Navigating through decades of life experience has revealed the following truth to me. When you strip life bare, when you get to the core, you are here for one reason above all others. To express who you are in all you do. In other words, to be yourself. Some would call this living your truth. This is easy to forget when life presses on you with its demands. But it’s important, even life-changing, to remember as you respond. Trading fear for curiosity and gratitude is key to living fearlessly and embarking on the adventure to be who you were born to be. This is the purest form of love you can unconditionally express to yourself. It is not a selfish act. Rather, it is the highest regard you can have for the gift that is your life. Join me with your own wisdom and light. Share your stories. Inspire others. Help them see life through a new lens. One where they can more clearly see the possibilities for their life, and take those first steps toward them. Not a paying Medium member? No problem.
