There’s a part of you that is afraid of ending your life with regret and there’s a part of you that’s afraid if you chase after your dreams you won’t get them anyway. There’s a point where these meet and when you get to choose you. Many of us get stopped at this very moment for a long time. I know because I have. But we are not meant to live as ships in a safe harbor. We are the storm at sea and the ship to sail upon it. You are made for life. You are made to feel alive. This was a powerful episode for me to share and experience, and I know it will touch you as well.

Have you ever felt that little tug to do something simple, like smile at someone or offer to help or give a compliment, and then stopped yourself? Lean into those tugs and just DO the thing because you never know what kind of a difference you’re going to make for someone… including yourself!

Most of the time when we talk about completion, we think about checking some thing off the list. But there’s a hidden power in being complete with some thing that is different than that.
