Because we are all warriors. We all fight wars, be they internal struggles with motivation, our purpose, our relationships, etc… or external struggles like struggling for the flourishing of our careers, the survival of our businesses, or the advancement of our dreams.

“Only The Hard, Only The Strong.”

The #1 regret people mention while lying on their deathbeds is, “I wish I had the courage to live the life I really wanted.”  It is an insightful admission and an invaluable bit of wisdom. Yet far too many of us, regardless of knowing this fact, still take life for granted.

We know we should be doing things differently.  We know we want to be living our life to the fullest, yet, way too many of us still spend countless years in a job we don’t love, in a relationship we don’t like, living out our lives in the exact opposite of what we really want. And tragically, too many of us, let our days pass us by in an uninspired state of mere existence. 

But this doesn’t have to be the case, not for you.  Which is why we are publishing this post.  Our aim is to ensure that when the end comes for you, your heart won’t be filled with regret over living a life half lived.  So, to stave off such a possibility, we’ve pulled together these amazing quotes about living life to the fullest.  So please, embrace them as words of wisdom and perhaps a gentle nudge for you to seize the day.  But most importantly, allow them to inspire you to live your life the way it should be lived… fully.
