When you reach the final chapter of your life, what do you want to see?
A montage of days fully lived? Triumphs—big or small—that remind you of your courage & determination?
Or will there be regrets… memories tinged with “What if?”
When you risk, you live boldly. When you hesitate too long and don’t take action, you risk not committing to your goals, people walking away, or you suffer with further fears and doubts, all attributing to stagnation—the kind that echoes with “I wish I had…” Sadly it would have become too late. Life is precious and too short to not take action.
Picture this: One person, flying in formation, heart pounding but spirit soaring, LOVING LIFE. Another persons scenario several years later, could be a picture of someone destitute, immobile, with low energy strapped in a wheel chair, mind clouded with missed chances and what-ifs.
A quote I absolutely love and live by: “Some people tip toe through life hoping they can make it safely to death”
OMG, well that’s not me, I’ll continue to work, stretch, win and grow, loving what I do until I drop from this life, ‘FULL ON’ grateful that I have provided the best service possible, being in balance with work and family, and paying it forward towards others 🙂 In my little life, that’s what I consider The RIGHT STUFF!
Which one tells the story you want to live?
The Right Stuff isn’t reserved for pilots. You don’t need wings—you just need to make a choice:
- To be bold.
- To prepare.
- To act with purpose.
- To dance with fear, not run from it.
- And finally, to take action.
Whether your “flight” is starting a creative project, healing a relationship, finding your purpose, or redefining your path—you can embrace your own Right Stuff, and the good news is, you can start today.
And when you do, life won’t always reward you with medals or trophies—but with something far better: Meaning. Connection. Satisfaction. And a story worth telling, far more magnificent then you could have ever imagined possible.
To all those that risk their lives in a line of duty. In honor and deep respect to the men and women in the military who have suffered great losses serving their country. Much love and respect to you all. Blessings.
Warmest Regards,
Lori Gradley
