Are You Doing What You Love?

Back in December I came across this inspiring article: Top Five Regrets of the Dying. {Take two minutes to head over there and read it, I promise is it will be worth it!}

The top 5 regrets expressed by those nearing death, seem so obvious, things that seem so simple to achieve. But, of course nothing is as it seems! We humans are a funny bunch. We become lost in the muddle quite easily and then it's not so easy to get out. We often lose track of what's important in the big picture. And we almost always forget to follow our heart...to find our passion and live our lives doing what makes us happy...from a place of authenticity.

No one does this gig we call life without making mistakes. But in reality, mistakes are lessons which can help us grow...to improve...to become more and to be happier.

If we have the opportunity to learn these very important lessons from those that are now no longer here...I say we go for it!

And there's no shame in asking for help in order to get to a place of authenticity and happiness. Sometimes we just need a little guidance to get us back on track, to get us out of the muddle...to help us see the big picture...and to focus on the things that are truly important to us and to living our lives the way that makes us happy, so we have no regrets in the end!

I have taken this lesson to heart and have made some changes in my life these past couple of months. I have always been passionate about helping people and since becoming a mother six years ago, I have had the dream of working in the Birth Community. With the encouragement of a very dear friend I finally decided to make this dream come true! I am becoming certified as a Labour and Birth Doula through CAPPA Canada. I am so blessed to have the support of my family, and because I am happy, the happiness flows and is reciprocated multiplied! This decision feels right, I can feel the fire of passion within me burning brighter!

Are you doing what you love? Does your 'passion fire' burn bright?
