Life is Too Short

This has to be a nightmare.
I came outside for some air because I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt like it was literally pounding out of my chest and my stomach turned sour. I thought I was going to be sick.
I hadn’t seen my sister in 6 years.
We kept promising to have a family gathering at Granny’s house but every time plans would fall through because one of us had to work.
“We will get together next time”, that’s what we’d always say.
Only now, I knew there would be no next time.
I’d have to reimagine my wedding day without her. She’d never meet her nieces and nephews. My stomach sank when I realized I never even got to say goodbye.
It was the day of my sister’s funeral.
We had heard about so many people who were getting sick and dying from the Coronavirus, but I never imagined it would hit so close to home.

My big sister, my only sister was gone.
Now, I was left with feelings of regret and shame for having taken time for granted.?
Truth is, life is too short and time is never on our side. It’s something we can’t get back once it’s spent and it costs too much to waste.
So when I stepped outside for air and was hit with this cold hard reality, it made me grow up a little bit.
That was the day this thing called “life” was truly put into perspective for me and I had an epiphany that helped shape this one core belief for myself.
This belief allowed me to take a month off from work and has since helped me step away from my business and spend more time with my family ever since discovering it. It’s actually the one absolute belief every client that wants to work with me must hold to build a successful online business of their own.
Would you like to know what this one core belief is?
If so, look for my newsletter next Monday. I’m going to tell you the epiphany that I had, but more importantly, I’m going to explain to you how you can use it to get what you truly want in life.?
So look for next week's newsletter. (Don't want to wait 7 days to find out? I don't blame you. You can subscribe to my Daily Newsletter here and read it tomorrow in an email.)
That's a wrap!
