“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” – Mae West
Yes, the one thing you need to know is that this is your one and only chance … get out there and live like there is no tomorrow because in the end we really don’t know if there will be a tomorrow. This is by no means about being irresponsible, no!
My talks, books and coaching sessions are more about self-awareness. If you know yourself, you save yourself from unnecessary pain resulting from wrong pursuits. Knowing yourself in terms of your strengths, passions and natural abilities is what will help you optimise on the right things and make you achieve more while you are enjoying this journey called life.
The worst thing in life is waking up old one day and realising you became so good at the wrong things. The realisation that you optimised for the wrong things is the worst thing that can ever happen to you. Just imagine mastering the art of procrastinating, complaining, blaming, not taking full responsibility for you and holding grudges. These dream killers/distractions take so much of your precious time and energy that you end up having little or no time left to do what you were born to do.
To summarise: the secret to a good life is to do what you have to as quickly as you can so as to do what you want to for as long as you can. Yes, to those who truly believe, all things are possible!
Study yourself and learn about your making – personal strengths, natural abilities, gifts and talents. When you do what you are naturally good at, life becomes great for you as you become so good at what you do that people will be willing to pay you handsomely for doing it.
