Let us assume that you are going to live until you are, say 75. This string is 75cms long. Let us also assume that you are now 45 years young! Now, measure along the string 45cms and cut the string, at that point, with a pair of scissors. Throw that 45cm piece of string away. It represents your life up until now. It is your past – you cannot get it back.
Now look at what you have left. You have under half of your life left. Every year, you will lose another cm of that remaining piece of string.
The moral of my metaphor here is that being unhappy with your life not only costs time, money and effort – it costs you your life. You only live it once.
So very often it takes some personal tragedy for us to re-think our lives and consider other paths, to find the courage to take the risk to do things differently or to follow our dreams.
Are you living your life on a day-to-day basis or are you existing on a day to day basis? Are you willing to waste precious time waiting for life to hand you a better deal or are you willing to make the decision RIGHT NOW to take control.
The painful truth is life doesn't get better all by itself and no-one is going to make it better for you.
I challenge you with the following question:-
If life were to end today, what would your regrets be?
If you decide that Life Coaching is not for you, then if you take nothing away from your visit to my site except this question.
Will you wish you had:
- Spent more time with your children?
- Told someone how much they meant to you?
- Not lost your temper before you left for work this morning?
- Said you were sorry?
- Pursued your dream job?
- Taken better care of your health?
- Found more time for your relationship?
- Treated yourself with more respect?
- Treated others with more respect?
- Had the courage to follow your dreams?
Life is too short already. Please don't wait for a tragedy to change.
