We Don't Have To Settle for 2nd Place, 1st Place Is Wide Open! See your name?

I just finished reading this book called To the Grave on Empty by Josh Bowen. Sounds morbid yes?

Nope just the opposite. It is about making sure that we use up all of our selves before we die.

Doesn't that concept just fascinate you? I mean think about that.

No regrets, so looking back, no feeling that something was missed. Truly a life well lived. And that puts us in first place, because no one would do what we do, yes?

But what stops us from doing just that?

Is it fear, or not believing in our selves?

He uses this quote that really spoke to me.." Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning how to dance in the rain."

Yeah, I let that sink in for a moment. And then it gave me goosebumps.

It is all about choices.

So whether or not we are in crisis mode, or just getting through each day, it is about the dance steps we choose to use.

And I think about that often.

What makes it easier for some to dance through life as if floating on ice, and others just bump into every single door?

As someone who used to have concussions from so many head banging days, I can tell you this side is so much easier, and the perks are priceless, including no bruises!

I think when we give up the drama and find the joy, change comes.

Go easy with our lives. We flow in the simple goodness.

Look at Wealthy Affiliate. Because the community is determined to see how extraordinary each of us is... we bring this energy of filling up our cups and letting them overflow. And dance!

And I think that is the concept of to the grave on empty.. we overflow, we do days in joy, we love what we do and then we share it with others.. what could possibly be a more perfect union and use of our lives?

Does that make sense?

Yes indeed it does!

Because we are living a life worth lived.

We give, we love, we dance, we write, we succeed, we are WA!

And we are emptying ourselves so fast because there is much more to come!

I believe our soul's purpose is to love.

To thrive in connections and joy. And I think you probably agree with that, yes?

So we love ourselves, and then it just spreads to the world...

See how powerful we are?

Each time we love, we change the Universe, yup!

So this week, when the rain decides it might want to come into your window, just close that window and dance, OK?

Do it today and everyday..give life your all.. you deserve it!

Love, it is free. And yet the most priceless gift ever. So give it away, it comes back a hundred fold. We never empty. Ever!

So, no worrying about or holding on to stuff that really doesn't matter. We have way too many other important things to do!

Mark Twain said: "The fear of death follows the fear of life. A person who lives is fully prepared to die at any time. "

What is going to be your biggest give away this week?

Maybe your heart?

I want to hear it please!

In peace and gratitude,
