“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.”– Paulo Coelho

When it comes to your life, your growth, your success, whether you want to change yourself or not, life will not wait. Life will continue. Life will not look back. Your opportunities will not wait. Your clock will not stop. Your soul will not wait. Because if you don’t use your mind, it will deteriorate. Frank Herbert said, “Live the best life you can.” Live your life. Live your life in the present, not in the past. We don’t live our lives. Why is that? Because we live in the past. Believe it or not, it is time to change your home address. If you don’t, life will not wait. It continues. Life continues.

“Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.”– Henry Miller

When it comes to your life, live it. You have what it takes to live it. Just do it. Do not bring your past regrets into your present life. No matter what may have happened to you in your past, do not let it keep you away from your dreams. Do not wait for someone to change your life for you. It is your responsibility to do it for yourself. Do not limit yourself. You can live a good life. You can live a courageous life. You can live a happy life. No matter what, do not make the mistake of settling for less. You are better than less. You are for more, not less. To make that happen, you must do your own part.

Follow Love, Not Fear

Follow love, not fear. Love yourself. You love yourself by choosing love. You do not get to love by carrying hate thoughts in your mind. And to spread your love around, you must carry love thoughts in your heart. Why is that?

Because you cannot give what you don’t have. If you don’t have love, you can’t give out love. It is in your heart that you must keep love. It is in your heart that you must plant the seeds of love. Do not just plant it there. If you don’t nurture it, if you don’t water it, it will die. Love is fragile.

Follow love, not fear. When you follow love, you can pursue what you want in your life. You can do what you want to do in your life. You can do what makes you happy. You can free yourself from fear. You can free yourself from your past. You can do what you have always wanted to do. When you follow love, you can face your fears. You can listen to the demons within you. You can become your real self.

Life is all about becoming you. It is about becoming whole. To do that, to become whole, you don’t need to change everything about you. All you need to do is to connect with your real self. The self within you. You can change a few things, but not everything. You can stop telling yourself false stories. You can stop feeding the things that are hurting you. You can stop living your old life. And you can change what is not working for you anymore, and replace them with positive habits. And to connect with your real self, you must be honest with yourself. Do not lie to yourself. It doesn’t help. It hurts.
