The first thing I realized was that I wasn't afraid to die, but that the people in my life (children, siblings, parents, and close friends) still needed me. I made an active decision to pull through and live.

The second thing I realized was that I had totally wasted my life thus far. I'm verbal emotionally and tell others I love them, but I hadn't actually loved anyone enough. I needed to share more honest compliments. I needed to encourage those in my life more. I needed to be more positive. I needed to love others as much as I could and anything less was wasting my opportunity to really affect others.

I didn't regret time spent at the office providing for my family, or bad decisions made. I regretted not being closer to my family. I regretted time spent amusing myself instead of investing happiness into others, family or not.

Its been 8 months since that accident. I haven't had an argument or even gotten mildly irritated with anyone. I don't miss an opportunity to praise others. I encourage others to take chances, risk rejection, and achieve their dreams. I compliment children to their parents and give thanks and recognition to every kindness received or excellence observed. I’m living fully, ignoring pettiness, and doing my very best to love others so I have no regrets at the end of my life, whenever it happens.

“I had a weird, empty feeling inside me. Not a bad sort of empty. It was a sort of lack of sensation, like being in pain for a long time and then suddenly realizing that you’re not anymore.”

— Maggie Stiefvater, Linger

There's no reason you can't have a happy life starting right now. I actually think it can feel more rewarding to give yourself a happy life now as an aware adult than to have always had it from the beginning. To be aware and present at the birth of your new self as an adult is pretty incredible stuff. How many people get to be awake and aware for the emergence of the person they were always meant to be ? How many people get to have two lifetimes in one ?

Don't be with someone out of guilt. Don't make someone a charity case. You would always want more and you will never be satisfied with them. They deserve better than that. Don't let them or yourself settle for half-love. @connectingwithsoul

See it. The ego will come up and make you afraid. See it. And don't do anything about it. It's a game you don't have to participate in. @connectingwithsoul

Your soul knows. It will tell you when it's time to distance yourself from those who no longer align with you mentally, emotionally, physically, or energetically.

To be feminine is to surrender. And it is so hard to surrender when you don't trust. @connectingwithsoul
