Wanna live your best life? You can't wait.

This video was made while my good friend and mentor, Helene Van Manen, and I were camping last fall. We often have discussions like this one about life and how to live it the best way.  Keep in mind that we had been camping for 5 days without showering and barely combing our hair!

Today, I'll be leaving on an adventure that I’ve dreamed of for years.

 I’m going on safari in Africa.

 As I write this, I’m pinching myself and realizing that in a few days I’ll be seeing elephants, tigers, giraffes and other animals in their natural habitat in Tanzania.

Last November a very dear friend of mine passed away from cancer. She was a healthy, vibrant 62 year old. After her death, I made a pledge to myself and to her that I would not wait to do the things that I want to do.

I’m not wealthy. But I found a way to do this safari.  I choose not to wait to follow my dreams.

When you listen to the video my friend Helene Van Manen and I made, I want you to think about what you’re waiting to do that you want to do.  Ask yourself how important is it to you?

Make a decision to do it now. Life is too short to wait. Find a way.

Over to you:

Take the next few minutes to examine your dreams. How will you make them happen? What will you do with this one wild and precious life?
