Book Cover & Preview Text
Number One Regret of the Dying A study was conducted by a palliative care nurse who had been counseling the dying through their last days. She found that the most common regret was: “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” The interesting thing I find about most people is that we continually strive to achieve, to be, or to do the things we believe are expected of us. Very few of us ever sit down and tap into our inner being to actually define what it is we were put onto this earth to achieve, to be, or to do. Most people go through life pushing and struggling to get enough money to buy things they don’t need in order to impress people they don’t even like. It’s crazy. But we all get caught up in doing just that. It’s the good old “keeping up with the Joneses” phenomenon. Society, media, colleagues, friends, and family members have instilled in us the definition of what success is. And I can guarantee you, for most of us, that definition includes money, assets, and status. Those expectations are what lead you in the direction for your life. And that direction may not be aligned with the life you are meant to be living. We are all here on this planet to live our own lives, not to live the lives others expect of us. Some people only realise this on their deathbeds. Let’s not wait until we are on our deathbeds before we wake up to this realisation.

About the Book
Do you have a sense that there’s more to life than what you’ve been experiencing up until now? Do you feel that you are living the life that someone else has laid out for you rather than the true life you can feel burning inside of you? Or do you feel stuck in your present circumstances, and you’re not sure how to make your dreams a reality? There are truths that we recognise at a spiritual level; you might call it your inner knowing or your gut instinct. However you choose to label it, there’s an internal part of you that has recognised and acknowledged that something in your life has to change. Don’t Just Settle: Live Your True Life is your chance to finally live the life you’ve always dreamed about. This is where you get to decide what you would love for your life. And you get to create it.
