Who are we, if we don't live our message?

I lived a life that wasn't mine, for a long time. But I never felt like I sacrificied anything, because I was a single father taking care of my daughter. In fact, it was, and still is, the greatest gift I'll ever receive, to have the honor to be her father.

But it did mean that all the plans I had for life had to be put on hold. I was a young and hungry man, looking to move from Sweden to USA to pursue my dreams, for some reason that had always been my goal since being a little boy. To go to America.

I have been spending some time there and the dream is still within reach, and when the time is right I just know it will happen. My daughter is all grown up now and has left the nest, but I'm sure she will come along for the ride, being who she is. She's got my blood in here veins :)

As I think about the last couple of years and how I've been spreading the message of listening to your inner voice, the messages from your soul, to dare to make decisions that doesn't please everybody, but resonates with your inner truth ... I realize that I've been doing that myself. Some things have turned out great, some I wish I had done differently. But I did them, even when I was the only one believing in my sanity. And those things that seems like mistakes today, might be the ones that turn out to be the ones most rewarding in the future. We don't know everything.

My goal is to inspire, to help people live their lives based on their beliefs, moral and standards, not just to please others. To dare to step out of the circle of fitting in and making your voice heard.

Because I believe everybody's got a message to bring to this world. We just got to dare to let it be heard.
