Mae West states that "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough". This is a great way to live. Think of each place as one that you won't return to. Chances are you are going to want to leave some kind of mark- a memory in your heart maybe?
My experience is that life is worth embracing. I have lived too many years not expressing my opinion, personality or idea's in case someone doesn't like them and I can tell you that it is a boring and a hopeless place. One of the greatest things we can do in this world is to learn who we are and live that out, when we do life is exciting, when we don't-life is dull. This world needs leaders and confident leaders at that. Whether it be leading a group of friends in enriching conversation, leading a board meeting or leading children to maximise their potential, whatever situation that you find yourself in-you have the potential to lead it. Lead it well and to influence people. What a great pleasure it is to be able to influence people.
I have lived too many years covered with too many fears. I would watch as people develop and grow and think that I was not capable of being so great. This is not true. We all have potential and a specific calling that God has designed each of us to do. Roles that are specifically tailored to your personality.
I encourage you to be the person that you were created to be. If you don't like something the way it is, then change it! The world needs leaders and we are all called to be a leader or influential in some way or another.
