What are you?
This seems like a simple question, but it may not be easy to answer.
Or you may answer it, but then notice your day-to-day actions might not reflect your answer.
I’ve known a long time what I was supposed to be, but never committed to it.
Until now.
But even what I thought I was supposed to be is not the truth of what I am; this is probably true for you, too.
During my incredible video interview with Digital Lifestyle Expert and TODAY Show correspondent, Mario Armstrong, we were talking about what inspired us to be an entrepreneur and I said, “I want to be a shining example to my 20 month old twins of what’s possible when you believe in yourself and follow your passion,” and not just play it safe.
Then I said, “It’s risky playing it safe,” which intrigued Mario.
What inspired my risky-safe riff was an article I read a few months back by a palliative care nurse whose job was to take care of patients who were sent home and expected to only live another few months. The nurse said the most common regret from all her terminally ill patients was:
I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
