This is one of the top five regrets of the dying as documented by Bronnie Ware in her book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.

Since I read this book, I have not been able to shake off this particular regret, probably because it relates to one of my greatest fears - that I should reach the end of my journey and realise that I never lived up to my full potential.

Below are three powerful things that are undermining your courage and creativity and stopping you from living authentically and purposefully. I have also included tips on how to fix them.

I strongly recommend Bronnie Ware's book; it is a wake-up call for those who want to live a life of authenticity, harmony, and significance.

Never forget that you are special, and you deserve to live the bedazzled life❤️.
