Empty nesters, #genx, your life is just beginning.

Your kids have flown the coop. It's time to take off the school sports shirt and throw away the PTA baking aprons!

It's time to live for you!

Here are 3 steps that made my second life my best life.

🧵👇

#1: Decide what you want out of life.

Name something you always wanted to do? Travel? Write a book? Start a new hobby?

What ever lights up you imagination is what you should be doing.

Make a list of the most exciting and put it on your refrigerator.

#2: Harness the power of fear!

As parents, we tell our kids they can do anything if they just work hard enough.

You spent the last two decades+ helping your child face their fears and chase their dreams.

Now it is your turn. Life's not waiting on you to stop being afraid.

"Do one thing that scares you every day."—Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear is a part of every gratifying thing we do. Without it, the thrill of victory would be gone.

A healthy dose of fear gets the ❤ beating and keeps you on your toes.

keeps you on your toes.

#3: Make your dream a reality.

Right now, pick something you always wanted to do.

Take a trip? Book it now and plan how to pay for it tomorrow.

Write a book? Set aside an hour every day to write.

Learn to paint? Look up classes in your area and sign up today then show up.

How I achieved my dreams.

• I wanted to travel and become a writer.

• I started making traveling a priority and began learning everything I could about writing.

• I have traveled internationally and across the US and by Jan 2023 I will be a full-time writer.

99% of people go to their graves wishing they had done more with their life.

You raised your children to soar. Now it's your turn.

Your life is in your hands now.
