Almost everyone loves or respects Tom Hanks – here’s what he said about the idea that the greatest waste in life isn’t failure, but the hesitation to act when your gut speaks to you:

“When the moment calls, trust your instincts and go all in. If you’re going to do it, do it. If you have the chance, do it. Don’t pause.”

Being present helps us act with integrity and honesty to live life without regret.  Most of the things that hold us back are not real – they are just fears.  Imagine the uncompleted successes that never make it out of our minds. 

Just recently Meryl Streep has talked about — Believe in who you say you are — and live like you mean it. I’ve watched children play, and when a child pretends to be someone, there is no pause. They don’t wonder if they are allowed to take up that space; they just occupy it.
