I think you would like this story I read by Les Brown, a motivational speaker.
”Imagine you’re on your deathbed—and standing around your bed are three types of ghosts:
ghosts representing your unfilled potential.
ghosts of the ideas you never acted on
ghosts of the talents you didn’t use.
And they’re standing around your bed.
Angry.
Disappointed.
Upset.
They say to you;
“We came to you because you could have brought us to life,”
BUT You didn’t .
“And now we have to go to the grave together.”
So I ask you today:
”How many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes?”
I really enjoy that story because it motivates me.
