Never ever

Go through life saying "I should have"
.
If you want to do something then do it!
.
As a life philosophy this concept is powerful.
.
If you go through life never daring to do what you want to do.
.
Then you miss so much.
.
Psychologically you deny yourself the chance to grow.
.
To dare to explore.
.
To fully engage with life.
.
To just do what feels right
.
Life is for living, not just for grazing your way through.
.
Not just numbly going through doing as you are told by faceless bureaucrats .
.
What's the picture?
.
The biggest boat rescue in history.
.
During 9/11 people went to the bottom of Manhattan to get away from the disaster of the falling towers
.
Most panicked, shocked, numb, just trying to get away.
.
Their problem?
.
No escape, nowhere to go just the water.
.
Boats from all over the area converged on the piers to help people get away.
.
To take them to safety.
.
Over 500,000 people in nine hours.
.
All volunteered, none questioned but the need to help their fellow man.
.
All dropped whatever they were doing, some ferry operators, others private boat owners, tug boats, coastguard all came to help.
.
Quite something, the biggest sea rescue in history.
.
Not talked about much, but these people were truly awesome in their readiness to do what felt right
.
No "I should have" for them
.
They did what felt right.
.
Let's remember that at the time no one knew what was going on.
.
Whether or not there would be more attacks
.
A boat would be pretty vulnerable if that had been the case.
.
No "should have" for these people.
.
They just did what seemed the right thing to do, acting upon their highest human values.
.
Do the same please in your life.
.
One day somewhere, sometime your time will come.
.
What choice will you make?
