My life is nothing among the billions of lives.
My life matters to maybe just a small few among the billions.
Why then do we worry so much what others think?
If we matter to them, they will not reproach us or criticise or judge us. If they do, then perhaps they aren’t the people for our lives.
The rest, who we do not matter to, are of no importance.
When I end my journey what will be hard to overcome is what I didn’t do because of the fear of what others might have thought.
Do what matters, do it for the people who matter and, most importantly, that includes ourselves.
Do it now.
