Living a NEAR Life

Are you nearly living a life? Time to live FULLY ...
I was pondering what to write about and Steve Jobs came up (I watched his 2005 commencement address) … do you remember him … Steve Jobs passed away last year. As I reflect on the impact Steve had on humanity, here is an example of a man who lived fully, right up to the end.
In listening to his commencement address in 2005, he knew he had cancer.
Yes, his path would cross with death’s path … and he knew it. And through it he chose to be unstoppable. For even in the knowledge of his mortality, he continued to work and be a force for evolution right up until the end.
Are you living a near life?
Take a moment and reflect upon your life. Look at where you are in this moment. Have you and are you living life to the fullest. Or are you living a near life.
A near life … if you were sitting on your deathbed, would you regret something … the opportunity you did not take, the love you did not seek, a career that inspires you, even though you may know nothing about it, a realization you could have fully lived and did not.
Ask yourself – are YOU living fully? Are you reaching for your dreams? Are you playing fully in this life? Does your head hit the pillow knowing it was an AWESOME day?
If you did not answer YES to these questions, you may be living a near life. Living small and safe within the confines of your own mind. Listening to your ego tell you to stop reading this … no one lives that full … no one is REALLY that happy … yes, it is OK to live a near life … living a near life is a choice …
I choose living FULLY, COMPLETELY, INSPIRED … empowered knowing I create this life, one moment at a time!! BEING the space to live fully …
And we all are walking a path that will one day cross with death’s path. My intention is that this crossing be a long time … and, in the event that intention is thwarted, I know I am living a full life …
Just like Steve Jobs.
Thank you Steve Jobs … you shifted humanity, you shifted how the world interacts by creating a life fully, right up to the end. No excuses, no justification, just a spirit and an attitude to make the most of EVERY moment … EMPOWERED … living FULLY … NOW!!!
For my loyal readers, today is the day to step fully and completely into life. It is your choice. We will all pass one day … make each day be the fullest to date … not only will your life be richer, so will the lives of those around you!
The power of awareness and coaching is stepping into a full-filling life … with a coach, it will occur!!
Create an inspiring week!!!
