Live Life With No Regrets

Have you chosen to reach for the stars, living a life full of passion and possibilities? Or have you chosen to get really comfortable with watching your dreams pass you by and thinking about what might have been if not for those postponed and unfulfilled dreams? Only you can make the choice to live the life of your dreams. No one else can do it for you. You won't get what you want if you leave your life to others or to a number of random occurrences rather than a number of decisions.

If you want to live a fulfilling life with no regrets, you must live each day to its fullest. Think about the following areas of your life; where are you proactive and where do you need a push to get going?

· Strengthen your mind
Knowledge facilitates richer experiences and opportunities. Push the limits and find out where your true abilities lie. The mind knows where you are and can take you to where you want to be.

· Fear less, dare more
Do at least one thing every day that scares you. Don't be afraid to ask for more or reach for more. We could do it all if only we dared to go for it. Don't let fear paralyze you. All we need to do is overcome our fears and dare to follow our dreams. New experiences make our lives richer.

· Live with love and passion
Love and express love as much as you can as often as you can. Love unconditionally without any expectations. Be loving and passionate about yourself, others and your goals. Love and passion are motivating and inspirational.

· Serve others
Be a role model or a mentor. Help others live a better life. Leave a legacy. We thrive when we feel we are valued and have left the world a better place.

· Have a purpose
Purpose gives meaning to our lives. It changes our attitudes about life.

· Be fully present
To be fully present is to have no preoccupations with past or future. Remain in the now even when focusing on the past or speculating on the future might be more tempting. Smell the roses. Savor every moment as special and appreciate the beauty in life.

· Live with integrity and acceptance
To live in integrity is to have no actions that you regret; to be real to yourself and to others; to recognize that you are special, unique and precious. Accept and appreciate who you are and what you have but know that you always have the opportunity to become more. Accept and appreciate others because of who they are, not in spite of who they are.

Most important, remember the serenity prayer, " God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference."
