Introduction

Follow your heart and act on something that you know to be true for you. Demonstrate that you are committed to at least exploring your dream and prove to yourself that it’s important by doing something. The saying “action speaks louder than words” never rang so true. Living powerfully includes being authentic and compassionate. Live large yet genuine. Trade the mundane for the unexpected. Each day laid out before us is precious and unique from the one before and what will come tomorrow. In the end, however it arrives, you can say, “I truly lived my life.”
