And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anaïs Nin 

When you take a leap in faith to follow your heart, you do so knowing that there is no guarantee that you will succeed.

Often, when you finally do pursue your dream, it’s because it has become too unbearable for you to remain docile in a particular situation or way of being. For whatever reason, you resolve that change is needed.

And so you calculate the risk.

Is it what I really want? Is it worth pursuing even if nothing comes of it? What are the pros and cons of taking this risk? What might I lose? What might I gain?

All growth seems to happen when it becomes uncomfortable to remain where and how you are. And whether it manifests itself the way you hoped it would or not, growth always adds value, sometimes it even leads to more than you envisioned.

~ DIANA’S ENORMOUS BOOK OF QUOTES ~

What’s the most important risk you ever took? Did it work out the way you hoped it would? What did you learn through the process?

I’d rather have a life of “OH WELLS” than a life of “WHAT IFS.” @FamousWomen

images3I caught the above quote as it flitted by on my Twitter feed the other day and it immediately spoke to me.

Because it’s easier for me to take my lumps in ‘oh wells’ than it is to take them in ‘what ifs.’

It also reminded me of a post I’d seen months ago (link below) about the regrets people have on their deathbed…

and my thoughts about the areas I need to work on; specifically regarding my personal relationships…

…areas I have been consciously and unconsciously working on since.

According to Bronnie Ware the Top 5 regrets people have on their deathbed are:

  1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself.
  2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
  3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
  4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
  5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Which above points resonate with you? What are you doing about it?

May you love and be loved with abandon

May you give and receive mercy

May you grow in wisdom

May you practice compassion

May you get what you need, not what you want

May you know your calling and live it

May you seek peace

May you love justice

May you find and give acceptance

May light pierce your darkest moments

May you know and bring joy

May you recognize your God-given gifts and employ them for the good of all

And when you breathe your last in this world…

may you be satisfied with no regrets

Peace to you
