Here are some simple - although not easy - reminders for each of us. 

  1. Express Yourself: say what you need to say and don’t hold things back. Too often in life, we hold back deeper levels of authenticity and transparency because we are afraid of rejection, judgment, and alienation. Expressing ourselves is about letting go of our limiting filters and living out loud.

  2. Forgive: The phrase “life is too short” is more than a bumper sticker. It’s a reality. And with this reality, the natural thing to do is to forgive those around us and most importantly, ourselves.

  3. Live With Passion: Going for it, being bold, and living our lives with a genuine sense of passion is so important. However, it’s easy to get caught up in the opinions of others. Talk about what you love! Live in your passion!

  4. Share Your Appreciation: Appreciation is the greatest gift we can give to others, and we don’t have to wait until they’re dying to let them know!

  5. Surrender: Not giving up, giving in, or selling out, but making peace with what is and choosing to embrace life as it shows up. Our ability to surrender in life is directly related to the amount of peace and fulfillment we experience.
