| When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I believed I was going to die (the initial prognosis wasn't good).  So much so that I visualized my funeral - including what it would look like and who would be there.
 
 One question kept running through my mind: what would people say about me?  Contrary to what you may think, I wasn't all that freaked out by my visualization.  But I was deeply disturbed by my question.  Because I didn't have an answer. 
 And even worse: I had regrets.  Regrets about all the things I hadn't done (mostly because I'd deemed them too risky).  I knew that my life hadn't been lived well enough - I'd been playing too small.  That's when I started to re-think what risk meant to me (and it's what eventually lead me into coaching). 
 I've talked a lot lately about how to face your fears and start living your life on purpose through your values.  Maybe you're happy and content - and there's no deep craving for something "more".  If that's you, then celebrate and break into a happy dance (seriously).
 
 But maybe it isn't.  Maybe you're not happy, content, or satisfied with your life, what you do for a living, and/or who you even are.  Maybe you're simply existing and going through the motions (instead of LIVING). 
 If that's you, then I've got a few questions for you....
 
 If you keep going through the motions and simply existing, who will you eventually become?  And what regrets will you one day (inevitably) have?
