A very wise man once told me, "Begin with the end in mind."
It's been said that the definition of hell on earth is making it to the final moments of your life only to be surrounded by the ghosts of the dreams you never pursued. They would be looking at you with angry eyes wondering why you didn't have the guts to go through with your passions.
This idea has always been incredibly powerful and caused me to think about "Who I needed to be throughout my life to die complete."
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.
Really though...we have no idea of how much time we have.
So the question is, "Who do you need to be today, if you suddenly came upon the final moments of your life, to be happy at the end?"
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.
But if you end up walking by faith and not by sight you will not only discover that you are capable of great things but that you could truly bring out the gifts that are begging to come out. You could live a life of courage instead of a life of fear.
You have something great inside of you waiting to come out.
Time to find out what those gifts are.
