The World Needs You to Move Past Your Fears
Yes, you sweet soul — if you don’t live out your passions, you are depriving all of us
One of the biggest regrets of the dying is not living a life that’s true to themselves and their dreams. Those that are nearing the end of life often wish they would have listened less to the voices and expectations of society and more to the voices within. Most of us have heard this before…so then what is it that keeps us stuck?
Why don’t we all move past others’ expectations and take that leap into trusting what wants to born from within and expressing that full out? Why do we hold ourselves back even when we know that our inner gifts will ultimately benefit all those whose lives we’ll touch?
The naked truth is because we are afraid. We face an internal battle that is so deeply ingrained in humanity that we don’t even notice that it’s there. Even while we want to live our best, authentic lives and to help serve others, there’s a fear that this may cost us something we all want more than chocolate and wine combined: being accepted and loved.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
