Have you ever done something while saying to yourself, “I'll do this no matter what!”? When was that time? It felt good, didn't it? It may be a bit scary, committing like that, but it sure felt strong, that something mattered so much you were willing to put all your bet in it!

“I will do this even if my brother doesn't like it.”

“I will take this course even if my parents get mad at me.”

“I will love this person even if the rest of the world protested.”

No matter what.

We need more NO MATTER WHATs in our lives. More risks worth taking, more challenges worth overcoming, for purposes that have always been clear to us.

I will do this no matter what because even in a single moment, I have felt alive. My life had meaning. I felt special.

I will do this no matter what because an eternity without it would be meaningless. This is the moment that matters. This is the moment that I live my full.

I will do this no matter what because this person is important to me. If I lose this person, I would forever lose a part of myself and I cannot afford that.

NO MATTER WHAT.

How about you? What are you willing to do no matter what?
