The graveyard: Les Brown once called this place the richest place on earth! Because of all the unrealized potential, unfinished inventions, and unfulfilled dreams. All the could haves, would haves and should have been. So I'm on a mission to get us all to die empty and to remind you today to connect with your purpose. Is there something you've always wanted to do that you haven't done yet?Marianne Williamson once said our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. It's that we are powerful beyond measure. While we are talking about fear, I want to suggest a mindset shift. Instead of being afraid of failure or success. Be afraid of not achieving your fullest potential.  Everybody dies but not everybody lives so live and use that to use your difference to make a difference.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
