It’s Ok to change course

Changing CourseAt the beginning of 2011 I read a blog post by Alex Mandossian about choosing your “Be Quote” for 2011. In other words, find a quote either written recently or one written centuries ago that you read to yourself daily. Print it out in big letters, copy it and put it in places that you pass by each day. Read it over and over again until it becomes part of you.

Ok…sure. Positive affirmation 101. I came up with an not so inspirational quote, posted a comment on Alex’s blog and proceeded to forget about it.

Then just last week I then ran across Rich Lazzara’s blog post on the top 5 regrets people have before they die. The number one regret inspired me to create my new “Be Quote”:

“To have the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expect of me.”

In my opinion this statement is powerful and it impacted me greatly…Time to live true to myself and to fulfill my purpose.
