Guess What.. We All Want the Same Thing.

Guess What.. We All Want the Same Thing.

Article by: Nancy Evans

I want to be happy, healthy, and to live my life in peace and abundance….

And guess what… so do you.

We are all alike.

Whether you know it or not.

Sometimes it takes people significant events in their life, to wake up… to realize that life is f*in short.

I lost someone incredibly close to me years ago. He was a kind soul, an amazing, outside of the box thinker, a classic rock lover, a love…. He was my highschool sweetheart. He was an incredibly talented, loving and special person. He thrived on making others happy and making others smile. I was lucky enough to know him for 6 years. He died before his 21st birthday. I always had a secret dream that we may find our way back to each other.

When he died suddenly of a heart defect. I lost my sense of direction, my love, suddenly life and love seemed unfair… it didn’t make sense. I was bed ridden for days. I failed classes in college and stopped going to class.

Why could someone so loving, sweet, amazing, kind and charismatic pass away so quickly, so early in life? His laugh replayed in my head, everyday. I missed it. I was reminded of it daily.

I experienced that sickening pain again when my Dad passed away suddenly from a motorcycle accident 2 years later. In the blink of an eye, I lost all sense of purpose. I remember hugging my brother and him telling me “we lost him”. It was impossible. Not even possible. Unbelievable. That this person who was so important in my life was gone. FOREVER.

Life is what YOU make it. Live life on your terms. I hope you find the inspiration to be YOURSELF, your true self. Live a life YOU love. Not what others want… a life you truly want.

What I’m leaving you (HEAVY) with today:

1) Show up authentically… no more fake (show up for real reals)

2) Love those around you (love hard…. Be a loving mensch)

3) Don’t do things in your life you don’t want to do. (just don't)

4) Don’t work in a f*cking job you don’t want to do.

5) Live a life of purpose and fulfillment (Even if that life means living in a motor home, traveling the world and living your best life)

6) Stop caring so much about what “others” think. What makes YOU happy?
