Allow me to imagine, for a moment: I am at the end of my journey. I sit with a sense of calm & groundedness as I reflect on years of experience, discovery, adventure, love, & growth.
In this moment, I confidently declare: “I have lived a glorious life.”
I do not say this because I’ve completed a bucket list, or attained a specific goal, or maintained x amount of relationships, or am known around the world.
As I imagine this [hopefully far distant] moment, I know I have lived a good life because I have lived a full life. . . . “Align, & experience your full, authentic life.” I do not take my tagline for Yes& by Marin lightly. In fact, I am dead serious about it.
Based on what I have learned & experienced thus far in my beautiful life, and through incredible teachers & deep explorations with coaches — I believe my ultimate marker of a successful, good life is one where I confidently proclaim I experienced it completely; I stepped into the good, completely - I faced the fear and hardship, completely; I was open to change and growth and beauty and abundance, and compassionately sat with heartache and pain and discomfort and confusion.
I want it all. I want to experience everything this life has to offer. I do not want to shy away from opportunities presented to me just because they are scary, or unfamiliar, or different. I do not want to miss any sensation - even if it is one of overwhelm.
Why? I want to absorb my life experience in its fullest, because I view life as a gift. & I am not certain I will have another chance. & even if I did, why would I wish or waste the current one away?
Here’s to being with it all. Here’s to the gift of our full life.
Align, & experience your full, authentic life.
