Look what I got in the mail!

Lol… Actually, I received this bestselling book from Sean Maher of Da Capo Press (Perseus Books Group) in the middle of last month… while I was coaching module 2 of The Patterns Of Excellence (Yes, I have not updated on that yet… Maybe I’ll make another posting with pictures for you guys soon).

I promised to do a review of the book ASAP so now that I have the time… here’s what I have to say about “Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart - Thirty True Things You Need To Know Now” by Dr. Gordon Livingston…

And today… today I woke up to the news that my godmother just passed away as well…

I was like … speechless.

I just took some time to regain my composure… to reflect…

Life can be so fragile… Death can happen anytime… when you least expect it. That’s why it’s so important to Live every day like you’ve never lived before… Don’t let fear stop you… because if you do… if you do… you’ll end up with regret… that you’ve never truly lived…

And that’s the worst tragedy of all…
