LIVING A Radically Engaged
LIFE ™
How Choosing to Live
Radically Engaged
Changed
EVERYTHING
BY MARIANNE MACKENZIE
My vantage point today makes it clear how important engaging in life is to our happiness. Today my life is full, active and overflowing with rich relationships, robust business opportunities, vibrant health and the wisdom of knowing just how I was able to transform what was into what IS today. My life has been full of transformations just as yours has and I know that these things have brought me to where I am today so I can share what I have discovered along my journey. I am a teacher, a guide and a coach.
Somewhere between the tear soaked face, the skinned knees from falling and the broken heart( s), I have consciously created a business and a life that has pulled me toward a version of myself that requires my best. It requires me to be vulnerable way beyond my comfort, compassionately honest to the point of serious self-love and courageous as I face the life I have dreamed about.
And you know what? I realized I would not want to live any other way. Life setting on the sidelines is no life at all to me. I also realized that I’ m not alone in my desire to squeeze every last beautiful sweet drop out of this life experience. In fact I would dare guess that you too are big life-live-er, a sweet-dropsqueezer, a radically engaged soul.
