1 Heart it! 21

So many people go to work to pay for the house that sits empty all day, the car that gets them to work and the clothes they wear to work in.
My husband worked harder than anyone I know, it was a source of tension for us, trying to get him to slow down. The thing is over our 20 years together he worked a lot, and then he died.
He didn’t get to live fully, if I focus on that its a source of sadness I feel for him, that he missed out on so much.
The problem is we think we have so much time, we plan our lives around an abundance of that time, but we really never know.
Living fully is part of my mission, I need to live for both of us now, I will not just pay bills and miss the beauty of life.
I have to set myself up for success, live within my means, get rid of stuff that weighs me down and constantly seek new experiences, because living fully means I will love, grow, learn & inspire and that will help me leave the legacy I want to leave when my time is up. I don’t know when that is, but in the meantime, I go to work to inspire, contribute learn and grow, getting paid to do it is just a bonus.
Because I was not born to pay bills and die, I have too much more to give. I can thank my beautiful husband for teaching me that, even after his death he teaches me new things, as if they are special private messages and that is just a part of his legacy ❤❌⭕ #worthywidow #lovefearlesslylivefully
