Do you really only live once?? We have all heard this so many times, but the reality is that you are capable of living more than once. Yes, I know I have some explaining to do. Has there been a time where you felt you were at the best place in your life? You were enjoying life, having fun, seeing financial freedom, and simply living it up? Then things took a drastic turn. You were no longer doing the things you used to do or feeling the way you used to feel. You suffered in silence until something happened to help get you back on track. Things started to look up and once again you were on the high road. Well my friend, guess what? You have lived more than once. Living more than once is not about death. It is instead about the life you live when you are on this earth. Don’t be afraid to live your life to the fullest.

What does living your life to the fullest mean? It doesn’t mean living a reckless life. Enjoying life, having fun, and cherishing those special moments should be positive. It doesn’t mean to “have no fear.” It is often hard sometimes for people to truly live their life to the fullest. We get so worried about other factors like: what will others think or how will this impact others. We focus too much on other people and things and often leave one important person behind. That person is you! How do you expect to live a happy life when you neglect yourself? As a mother, I am obligated to make sure my son has his needs met. I work hard to provide for him and create a life of enjoyment. One thing I’ve learned is that who I am reflects him also. I want him to see me happy and enjoying life so that he sees it’s okay to do the same. One thing he has been an observer of for years is my love for travel. He too has had the opportunity to travel over the years. Travel was something that I truly became interested in over the last decade or so. I truly make my travel experiences “living life experiences.” People often make the mistake of not traveling because they don’t have anyone to travel with. That has never been an excuse for me. I tell people all the time that I don’t mind traveling with who my mom birthed me with into the world, and that was solo!! I have traveled many states and even internationally by myself. Yes, please recognize I am always smart and cautious about my interactions and activities when I do that. Don’t let anyone stop you from living. Live as much and as many times as you want. You will not regret living life. If you are in a place where things are not the best and appear to be going downhill, let’s regroup and live life again. Don’t let death come with living life to the fullest. Remember, live as much and as many times as you need, because you only die once!
